The Bitter-sweet Experience Behind The First Love Heartbreak

My first heartbreak was very tragic because I thought that he was really the one. As times goes by, he suddenly change the way he treated me. Unlike before he is so caring, loving and sweet. One of the reasons why he changed his treatment towards me was because we were in a long distance relationship and we don’t have enough time to communicate with each other. I need to sacrifice everything in order to support my sister and also to save money for my studies.

At first, I asked if it’s okay for him that I will work in manila, and he replied “yes” to me. He agreed that I will be in manila just for a year. Sadly it was not just a year but I stayed there for almost three years. Every year, I see to it that I will visit him at least a week in Cebu. We did spend time together and eventually he asked me if I will be going back to manila again and I said yes to him. He was a bit angry and disappointed but I really have to go back and face reality in order for me to help my twin sister financially.

He did not understand me in that situation and maybe that was one of the main reasons why we kept on arguing things. The most painful words/phrases I have heard coming from him was this, “you don’t have a word of honor”. I was really upset and sad for the fact that he did not consider my situation. It was not easy for me because I have to juggle things out especially my love life, family and even my work. I know how hard it is that I was not able to maintain the fire in us. I also know that it is not his fault but also mine.

It was really a painful yet one of a kind experience that I won’t forget. It was purely bliss to have him by my side. It took us four wonderful years of sweet and bitter memories. At first, I cannot accept it but as time goes on I’ve learned to move on and face life with open arms under the supervision of our Divine Almighty. I owe this to my ever supportive family and friends who were there during this darkest phase of my life. And for that I am forever grateful.

Therefore, I can say that if life throws you lemons then enjoy the bitter-sweet taste. Every moment of every hour should be cherished for you’ll never know when and how it will end. But all you have to do is to accept and learn from it. It may not be a good one but I know that eventually God will provide us with the things that we are entitled for. Always bear in mind that there’s always a reason behind everything. Life must go on and we have to move forward.
