No worries, I can find my way out. v ^_^ v

Received a letter from one of my friends, she is really a special friend to me as I met her since I was 6. (yes, almost 24 yrs since then, it's been quite a long time, & I am gladed that we can still keep in touch til now... ) As we haven't seen each other for long time, it is inevitably to tell her what have had happened about myself...

I am really appreciated for what she wrote to encourage me... I am hereto thanks for her support and to share the most meaningful paragraphs (yes, they are very meaningful, at least to myself) to all of you:

Dearest B

I am sorry to hear that you haven't been happy. <....> But sometimes you have to learn to let go. Not to forget, no, but to recognise that you are lucky enough to have spent the time with that person and had some happy memories. Many people go through their whole life without finding nor falling in love. Treasure those memoriesand learn from the mistakes, and you will only become stronger and knowyourself better from the experience. There is no need to talk about "forgetting" someone. How can you forget something that has meant something to you, that helped making who you are now, and something that had made you happy? For example, I will never forget <....>, but on the other hand, I don't really want to be with him either, fully understanding we grew up to be so different, and have different needs now and probably highly incompatible. But those memories in the past, I willprobably cherish them to the day I die.

When a relationship doesn't work out, it is natural to feel sad, upset,disappointed, melancholic. I spent many days in a daze with tears when it happened too, angry about the things he said and did, upset that it wasn't what I expected, but at the same time wished I could turn back the clock and everything changed back to "normal". But the reality is, it will not. When something goes wrong, it is a clear indication that the relationshipis not what you expected it to be, and the person does not suit you, evenin the smallest way. This is something that you should be glad happened sooner than later. Imagine finding out all these after you are married and have 2 kids - it will only be thousand times worse. <....>

Love
