river piedra

Mutual admiration society, ever, pero seryoso, the more I love the members of this society (hihihi), the more it seems that everyone else just doesn't matter.

Okay, I know that is a hyperbole of sorts and that may mean that I love the other people I love less. But it's not that way exactly. These people are just so there, so here in my life that I could literally feel them sitting in the left atrium of my heart. They just so provide the oxygen that keeps me alive.

Anyhoo, the reason for my glee is Ate Jing's advice to check out page 95 of By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept. And here it is:

If pain must come, may it come quickly. Because I have a life to live, and I need to live it in the best way possible. If he has to make a choice, may he make it now. Then I will either wait for him or forget him.

Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worst kind of suffering.

-- by Paulo Coelho

I will read this repeatedly so that it will resonate in my heart.

Nonetheless, I am just so grateful that I have very wise friends who care.
