There's this quote that I like, '' Moving on isn't about not loving someone anymore and forgetting them. It's about having strength to say you're not worth this pain. '' This is a story of mine that I'm about to tell you.

Here it goes.....

Year 2005, I was introduced by my friend to someone. Let's just call him ''This Guy''. We became friends right away like so close when we were first introduced. There was this connection that he and I seem like we knew each other for so long , there was this compatibility that we call, I was very comfortable with him whenever we talk, and after that there was this trust existed in us. For a year he was like a brother, a best friend, and my confidant.

Year 2006, that was the time he asked me to be his girlfriend and I said '' Yes'' because right from the start, I was head over heals in love with him. Our relationship that we had was not so perfect like other couples, we had ups and downs, but we always backed up with each other. At first, when I introduced him to my parents, there was this awkwardness that I have seen from parents faces, and I knew they wouldn't like him. maybe because of his appearance ? or is it the age ? or maybe is it about the attitude? but I didn't mind, even though my parents were against our relationship I fought for him so hard. They saw me how I fought for him and eventually they welcome him into our family.

We had traveled some beautiful spots and beaches here in Cebu from north to south bound. and to the neighboring islands of Cebu such as (Bohol, Leyte, Camotes, Kalanggaman, Bantayan, Malapascua and even to the other islands in the Philippines like Boracay, Camiguin, El Nido and many to mention. We had so much fun and we had spent quality time with each other. We both like nature, beaches and we even dreamt of travelling around the world. We had the same hobbies like camping, volunteering to other people or involving community activities. We were very happy in our relationship that I never thought it would came to this.

In the midst of our 10 years relationship, the day that I never expect it would happen, I caught him CHEATING on me with his co-worker. it was so painful, I was so hurt. it seems like it was the end of the world. But after a few days, he came back to me and apologized and he told me that he would change for the better. He was asking for a second chance. begging and because I was so in love and ''TANGA'' before I forgave him and gave him a second chance. For 5 years everything went smoothly, he changed a lot, he became more sensitive to my feelings and he even proposed for marriage so we planned our wedding, we processed our documents and we hired a wedding coordinator and so on. I was so happy that time I thought I was living my dreams to walk in the aisle wearing a white wedding gown. I even shared the good news with my relatives, friends, and co-workers. But unfortunately, it was just a DREAM, not a reality. Six months before our wedding, he was asking a complete SPACE for me, I was shocked and I asked him why? and he told me that he wanted to be ALONE, he wanted to think it over and have some time for himself. So I gave the space he wanted even it hurts me more than a thousand times, I had this intuition that there's another reason behind this space. I had a feeling his mind and heart is not with me anymore. I asked some signs from God since I wanted to know all the reasons because space is very general. But the lord is so good, He gave me the answer right away. Until one day we met accidentally, I was with my friends and he was with his new GIRLFRIEND, who happened to be my friend. That was the time I concluded why he needed the space because he was in another relationship. This time it was very PAINFUL , I brokedown, I was broken into pieces , I didn't know how to stand up and start again. I even begged him and kneeled down to him to come back to me and asked him to LOVE me again. Because I was thinking my life won't go on without him.

I thought HE WAS THE ONE.
I thought he cared for me.
I thought he was there for me all along
I thought he would ask me to be with him in the end.
thought he was this person who would give me butterflies in my stomach.
I thought he would hold my hand like he would never let go.
I thought he would pick me over her.
I thought everything was totally fine.
I thought there was us.

BUT IT ENDED WITH “I THOUGHT”

I was lucky since I have a lot of friends ( @ninyea, @joancabz, @maimaimaichan, @jeizwannahavfun, @sumiremurasaki they were my shoulder to cry on, they were my painhealer and they were my motivator to accept reality and to move on since life is full of challenges. I was so blessed to have them in my life aside from my family. without them my life wont be as colorful as now.

I thought life without him was so drastic, that I couldn't go on with my life until I realized I should move forward. Yes, moving forward to the day that I can say I'm FREE, from all the pain.

And years went by I met this special person of mine that has changed my life. I am happy with him, Not everyone is like my EX. and this I know because he is different, he treats me like a princess despite of our distance his loyalty and honesty is with me.

That was my wasak moment my dear steemians ...
