get up

i met a fren lately, she said this:

"Relationships are strange. Sometimes they work out but at times, they don't. Allah is fair so it is just dependent on you to handle things like this. There are only two options to take now; either you fall down and stay there or you get up and fly higher."

Inspiring huh? After more than a month of my break up, I must say that I am feeling better. It is extremely unfair but hey, just shut up and move on. I do have friends and they have helped me alot.

Note to myself:

Dear Zulkifli,
A few years from now on, you are going to read this again. If you are in a relationship again, then please learn to love the lady properly again. Though you are broken hearted now, never ever let what Hidayah did to you affect your future partner. Love, with every single bit that you have. Hold back if you need to but always take your time. Protect her always and care for her, like how you did for Hidayah. Remember that patience is the key in everything. If the lady is ignorant, then get away from her. Please do. I beg you. Do realize that you just went through a terrible time with someone like that. Do not break hearts. Never.

If you are still single, I bet you are, then chill. People change but only for the better. Remember that please. I know it is hard to get over her but do not forget, she found a replacement within a month. I know you will not harbour any ill feelings but do not be scared of going into a relationship. Yes, 17 months is a very long time. It is hard to get over someone you truly love, but I am confident that you are trying. Every single day. If you ever meet Hidayah again, ignore her but say a prayer for her well being. What goes around, come around. One day, she will understand the very same feeling.

Never forget that life can be a cycle but never let that happen because once it starts to repeat, then you are not learning anything. You are going to Cambodia in a few months time to volunteer. Remember that you should channel what you have gained to help others. Allah is great. He gave you brains and brawns but all these are nothing if you cannot help others. The scholarship you received is a stepping stone to alot of things. Syukur Alhamdulilah. So for Allah's sake, get up and fly because you are meant for greater things.

Regards and salam from your old self,
Zulkifli
