My Dad’s Advice, that’s why I’m Proud of Being a MUNJILUL
As I always said, the pain will always be here… it may never go away… but my father told me the other night when he saw me so blue and i just got off my room after much contemplating and some few tears… he said
“you were never the perfect boyfriend from the time i knew you had a girlfriend after you graduated high school. you were so hurt that time you cursed love and the act of loving. you wanted to take revenge to all those girls who you committed up with. Many of them cried coz you broke their hearts when they didn’t do anything to deserve such. You were a playboy, you were not the man you are right now. And until you met this girl, he kept you, put you on a strong hold, until you realized you’ve fallen again. Then she broke your heart. You didn’t have proper eating habits for 2 months, you didn’t sleep at night and if you ever fell asleep in the morning or afternoon, it wouldn’t last an hour. You were hospitalized just because of that. You never stopped crying everyday. The tears kept falling for 5 months. Until there was someone new. Who healed your broken heart. You forced yourself to fall in love with her. You thought you were in love. Until you ex knocked your heart again for another chance. You were committed that time, yet you still took her back. You left the girl who healed you for more than a year for the one who caused you pain. And now, she did it again, for the second time around. I see you wounded, in sorrow and in pain. The tears came flowing again. The eating habits start to take it’s entrance. The sleepless nights are now obvious. Anak, look at yourself. Think of this as a payment of the things you did. Does the total amount of pain you feel right now and the pain you felt before equivalent to all the pain you caused for all those other girls you left? Does your tears you fall have the same amount of weight combined compared to the tears you made those other girls fall? Remember, it’s better to feel pain, sorrow and shed tears, than to let others experience it. Coz now you know how it feels, you can do more in the future not to cause them. And you know that Allah punishes our wrong deeds in the Day of Judgment, it’s better if he’d punish you here than there, where it wouldn’t have the same degree.”
Forgive me if it’s kinda long.. I memorized his words, but it was in our local dialect (tausog). I was looking for the right words to translate it in english…
