I don't know you well enough to claim that I know you. But I do know what you're feeling now. And I also know that it won't last.
These double whammys that life throws at you are just small bits that add up to a whole. Of making you the person that you will be tomorrow. The person that you know not yet you can be.
You will learn that even if the darkest hour seems to stretch endlessly, it has just 60 minutes and you can battle it because you know that it will dawn sooner or later. Because YOU will it to.
You will learn that no matter how much you try to kid yourself, no one can love you the way you do.
You will learn that itsy bitsy teeny weeny heartbreaks are just fuel that make the flame burn brighter.
You will learn to carry a torch for yourself, moreso after walking through many tunnels. You will learn to shine it for yourself. Even if there is nobody on either end to tell you that yes indeed, there is light.
You will learn that you can't make sense of stuff that are not meant to be made sense of.
You will learn to look back and laugh at these little gaffes and momentary lapses of reason. They happened only to help you look at the lighter side of life.
You will learn to see the concavity and convexity of the world, when you're on a swing, without any cares. You will learn to lean back and look at the world upside down and not be concerned about your delicate sense of balance. You will learn to fall on the ground with a whump and feel good that your ass hurts. It goes to show that your heart ain't the only thing that hurts.
You will learn that all that's past is just the means to get to the end that is your tomorrow. When you will be older, greyer, fatter, balder, gassier and all the wiser. And for that, you HAVE to be young, dark haired, in good health, with a head full of hair, with a sound digestive system and unbelievably stoopid :P.
So chin up, square your shoulders, hold your head high and marvel at the blue sky outside. Don't bother about the clouds that seem to hover around you. You're an optimist. You'll be walking on them in no time :).
Cheers !!
PS : Yours truly needed to hear this as much as she meant it for you :D.

M - Again, I thought that the 5th from the top and 4th from the bottom in the *learn* series would have appealed more to you.
It's kinda the piece de resistance in this post :D. | |

Thanks all again.
BG - Ahem. Koff koff. That's ALL you got to say X-( ??
Noire - Hope you're doing ok now :).

Maddie dearest or should I say Eeoww! Don't know who this is for, but again, you outdid yourself! Coming by your door in a very very long time, you are just as beautiful as ever. No matter how many blogs you change, how silly or profound or wise-assed or gas-assed (!!) or whacky you get, the essense of you is always intact. Always beautiful - just like you.
Loved the "have learnt" series, reminded me of my own at gatelessgate! My favorites? You would know anyway - third from the bottom and third from the top!
Although I did get the feeling that this was more like a talk-to-yourself-out-loud self affirmation - you needed to hear this just as much as you needed to say this to M. Work of art, this. | |

That's a nice bit of advise, Eweji,for all those feeling down in the dumps,including the ones you wrote it for.'You're an optimist'-doesn't that say a lot? | |
