Your journey in life can bring you to places you’ve never been before. Some of the places might make you happy while others might give you sorrow. But there’s one important factor in your journey. They can either make or break you. These are the people. You will meet them as you walk on the road of your life and they have specific purposes. For instance, I met you maybe because you need to teach me a valuable lesson. To tell you honestly, you did. I discovered things about myself that I never thought I am capable of. And maybe, you met me because I as well need to teach you some lessons. As I can see, you are not that sensitive about reality—about yourself. Sometimes, we really can’t tell who we really are unless other people tell us. So now, I am going to hit you, not with my fist but rather with reality.
Hurt—I know that you are suffering from the pain somebody has caused you. I understand you. I have been through a lot of pain as well. At first I thought that I won’t be able to surpass because it was unbearable. I thought that the world hated me too much.
Being hurt is natural. Do not dwell too much on it. I agree that moving on is hard but that’s how it should be. It only shows that you’re a human being. You have emotions. But please don’t let other people feel your agony. We all have our fair share of sorrow and it would be unfair if you pass it on to others. Do not hurt other people. You may not believe this but please consider the idea of karma. What you do to others will come back to you. For instance, if you inflict pain to others, it will come back to you and the enormity will be worst—that is bad karma. On the other hand, if you caused happiness, then you will also have it more than what you expected. If you don’t know how to handle your emotions, ask help from other people. It won’t harm you.
Sad—You may haven’t told me anything but your eyes says it all. I know you’re sad. Whenever I look into your eyes I
feel that there is sadness inside you. The sadness is too much that I become infected with it. Something is really bothering you. There is yearning. I mean there is longing. You desire something but you are uneasy or confused about it. You want to do something. I don’t know if I’m right but that’s how I assess it. You may or may not tell me. I respect your privacy. But I hope that I can help you.
Desperate—I can see that you want things to be done in a matter of seconds. You don’t want to wait. You would rather let other people wait for you. On the other hand, you want to achieve things in a jiffy even if in reality it takes for months or years for you to totally reach it. That’s not the right attitude for that. You must accept that in reality everything has its own process. The process might be long and in times you might not like it, but its how things work. You must readily accept it or you will end up frustrated.
Arrogant—You cannot do all things alone. You as well need to seek the help of other people. They might be able to help you more than yourself. Remember when I asked you to ask financial assistance from your parents? You said “no. I don’t want to ask from them.” I don’t have anything against your aim to become independent. My question is, are you not gonna ask from your family even if you are already in a life or death situation? Always remember this, people will turn their backs on you but your family will still accept you with open arms.
At the end of our conversation, I ended up apologizing because of what I have said. You never said anything like that. I think I also deserve an apology. I don’t think that what I said deserved an answer such as that. I believe that the two of us deserves an apology from each other. Don’t let your pride affect you. There is nothing wrong in asking help from people and from saying sorry.
Good person—I can feel that you are not a bad person at all. In fact I see you as a very, very good person. That’s why I entrusted you with something. I don’t usually feel at ease with a lot of people, but with you, I can be myself. You are the kind of person who can be trusted. All you need is someone who will bring you to the right path. You can experience the world outside your own but be sure to come back home. Do not make yourself devoured by temptations. They may just be around but learn how to control.
You always tell me not to be serious and just enjoy life. It sometimes pays to become serious. Because only that time when you can reflect and realize things. Too much enjoyment can make you forget who you really are. The world is not only for enjoyment but for suffering as well. Through suffering you will learn how to be strong.
Loving—I admire what you did when you went to Germany just to tell someone “I love you.” It is such a marvelous act. Somebody has left you but you never gave up. You are one loving person.
However, do not give everything for love. Leave something for yourself. Try to love yourself first before loving someone else. In this way you will learn how to love truthfully. You just have to make yourself open for love again. You said that you don’t know what love is now but I don’t believe you. I always tell you to invest in what you have. You might not have all the things in the world but I believe that you are very much capable of having those. Just be positive and everything will turn out the same.
On the other hand, don’t let yourself be dictated by the person you love. Do not let your partner take advantage of your kindness. Do not just let her shout at you or make fun of you. Do not just follow what she says without asking questions, because after all, you have your own mind. You are the master of your own self. And besides, a relationship should be mutual. No one of you should act as the dominant one.
Sensitive—You can easily recognize the feelings of other people. You know that the world has a lot of problems and
you want to take part in solving those. You have a heart for the poor and hopeless people. That is a very admirable value. Keep it up.
Please don’t take these as something negative, but rather use these to make yourself a better person. Try to improve yourself. Do not let yourself be drowned into the darkness. Don’t be blinded by things that might destroy you. Take time to talk to yourself and try to make sense of your existence. The bottom line is, I can’t change you but you can change yourself. Change is maybe difficult but it is constant.

But anyone can start today and make a new ending.”
