So, life is a journey that time controls through seasons. Time being the most precious thing on earth, one has to know when and how to use it. What you do with it matters for time waits for no man. Ever been in a situation that drains you too much but you can’t give up because you’re too afraid of losing something or someone?
Long ago, I suffered from a heartbreak that was so terrible. Well, before I go onto the heartbreak issue, let me walk you through my love life. I was that kind of a person who was always good at loving my partner yet no one ever made me feel like I was the one. I dated a guy who was of the same age with me and everything was all good till he started noticing my perfect imperfections. He started hating everything that had to do with me. I used to call him twice a day and he would call me once in a while, but that was fine with me because I was blinded by love. He would pick silly fights with me just to pass on remarks about how stupid I was. I really loved the guy so much that I would apologize for his flaws. My whole life was starting to change, this affected my ego, therefore, I laid low. Imagine the person you love telling you how bad your laugh is, or how you should conduct yourself? What is love if I can’t be open or free to the one I love?
I recall my cousin telling me how I should move on and start afresh but that wasn’t easy, I was in love with him. I kept hoping he would change and be the guy I fell in love with, well this change was proving to be late. Broken and drained, confused in my thoughts without anyone to share my pain with, I still wanted him. One day he said to me, “I date you only because I don’t have anyone to love me as you do, but if I had an option I would not choose you a low-class girl,” his words were like a double-edged sword for they gave me a heart stab. That’s when I realized that I had wasted two whole years dating someone who did not even see me as part of his plans or future. He only dated me as a no option yet I dated him because I loved him for he was.
What I am trying to say is time wasted can never be restored. All those years I spent with him were nothing. I decided to quit the relationship while I still had time to correct my mistakes. I left him and I suffered a terrible heartbreak. As time went on, I felt free from all the flaws, I got my healing. I felt renewed, and I became radiant. I quickly mended my heart and I made sure that I did not waste much time crying or regretting the time I lost. I appreciated the time he was with me and accepted that fate had this planned out all along. I had to focus on myself and groom my life for better or worse, preparing for the untold.
Here’s the thing, don’t let anyone steal that precious sand in your hourglass, every grain counts. Don’t cry over lost time, once it’s gone it’s never recovered. Be willing to utilize the time you have, channel your energy and thoughts towards people or things that do not drain your energy or make you feel all kinds of negative emotions.
