That Thing Called Tadhana

For the first time in forever wink emoticon

In my 21 years 5 months and 6 days of existence, I've never watched a movie alone. Now it's time to try defying the dependence of having a movie buddy. I know how to handle myself, but when someone told me and proved me for awhile that he has my back I believed him, trusted in him (though I have trust issues) only that it turned out that he was the man I should have never trusted with my heart at all.

I admire Anthony Lagdameo's (JM De Guzman) character, walking straight to a complete stranger with a genuine concern for the girl with a broken heart, the girl who is lost, feeling alone, so hurt and pained because of some guy who used love to hurt her so bad that. The guy whom she's willing to give up everything for, imagined life with him, has goals and a bucket list of everything made with love, a forever that she believed in, and just with seven words: "HINDI NA KITA MAHAL, MAKAKA-ALIS KA NA." (I don't love you anymore, you may leave now.) Goes to show that it's not about how long you've been together but the love, the faithfulness, and the loyalty that holds it closer and with God in the midst of it. How can someone be so heartless to just leave the person who'd give him the whole world, would swallow her pride, give everything she has, entrust him all the love she has been saving for since she was a child for her prince. You loved her less than she deserves, or maybe lesser than less. NO ONE DESERVES TO BE CHEATED ON AND JUST BE LEFT WITH AN INVALID REASON. How can a person continue to live life with someone new and with just a snap of a finger forget everything they've been through, how can you continue living life with someone new and leave her in the blue. Why did you choose to betray her instead of just leave her, why did you leave her?

Then someone comes along at that point wherein you just want to burst out and drown yourself in the sea of sorrow and in the blood river 'til tomorrow. He offers you a helping hand; he carries you with him though you're heavier than the usual burden because of the entire burden you've been carrying with. He looks at you like you're perfect though you're crying your heart out, he listens to you and when he says something, he's stating a fact (though it may sound as if he's being harsh with words)...

"Sabihin naman niya kung bakit, anong ginawa ko--" -Mace 
(I want him to tell me why, what have I done--)

"Bakit, kapag sinabi ba niya kung bakit, may magbabago? 

Ang bottomline, hindi ka na niya mahal." -Anthony

(If he told you, would it change anything? The bottomline is that he doesn't love you anymore.)

When one walks away, someone better is heading your way. Gather up those broken pieces, you are a gorgeous diamond and you deserve the best love there is. Someone like you who loves so deep will have something great in return. That love that you've been waiting for maybe a clandestine to you right now, but when the right time comes it will be revealed not until you are truly healed. Don't ever be bitter because someone hurt you more than anything else, because remember that it is not love nor forever that hurt you but someone who abused and used love and forever to hurt you.

There is often less danger in the things we fear than in the things we desire.

I recommend everyone to watch the movie "That Thing Called Tadhana". It'll be so much fun even if you watch it alone (as I did). Laugh, cry, and fall in love. I can relate so much with Angelica's character Mace, it struck my heart when I was watching it. I remembered how hurtful it was, how I felt alone though everyone was around me, and most of all how someone like JM's character Anthony unexpectedly came into the picture at that moment when you've almost buried yourself alive from the sorrow of the love that you believed and from the man that you think was the one. I was the heart pierced right through him and he was the arrow that was enjoying his life 'til I came and 'til things were ALMOST there but maybe, time says it all. That someone helped us get back up but somehow something keeps us waiting, but as the saying goes "True love waits". Wherever you are now, I'll never get tired of thanking you because you carried me with you until I can smile and live again. At first I was feeling kind of lonely but the sometimes you find serenity and tranquility within you; 'til we meet again. Never cease believing in love and in forever.
