A Letter for a Dear Friend

Dear Friend,

I may be the last person who has words of wisdom on matters of the heart. When it comes to love, the best advice I can muster is ‘Go for it!” This advice is not really helpful especially in what I presume you are feeling right now. I have to admit that in the past few days I have been thinking about love. It is more about your love life than mine. I vicariously live through others’ love lives. Ha! You know how smitten I am about the thought of seeing you find true love.  I know you will find one someday. I even believe that you will find one soon more than I believe I would find one for myself in the distant future.

And because I am not good at giving love advice and I want to give an unsolicited one, I borrowed words from other people (some random and anonymous) who may have rich experiences on this subject.

You are one of the few people I know who live and breathe service for others not because it is the right thing to do but because it is in your nature to do so. “You were born that way”, sabi ni Lady Gaga.  So the following advice is hard for you to do.  I know you have tried this before and it worked, albeit temporarily. It might work again.

You need to care less  because you need to prepare for the difficult part.

I realize how true these words are.

There are just battles we need to let go.

I know there will be times when you can’t help but think about that person.

In time, you will find this kind of happiness.

They say that only then can you start to open your heart to another.

And you will realize this:

I know in my heart that this will happen for you.

The heartaches will soon be forgotten.

I do not know what the future holds but this is something to look forward to.

I know you are not the type of person who will drop someone in a heartbeat. It helps to know that those who wish to be part of your life will find a way back in.

Of all the words I borrowed, this I am sure.

Know that I will always be here for you. Probably, with my cats or dogs. I’m more of a dog person. 😀

Love,
Kat
