To All The Broken Parts In Me

the doodle by yours truly

This is a love letter to my younger self who has gone through experiences that got her heart broken, her hopes and dreams crushed again and again. 

This is a letter from myself to myself that says it's OK to have made mistakes and to have missed the chances she didn't take. My permission slip to be happy now and start living. A reminder to not rush things even when things aren't working out as planned. 

Most importantly, a message from myself to myself - to take all the time needed to heal. 

This is a love letter written to all the broken parts in me

*******

To all the broken parts in me, 
How are you?

Tell me,
Does it still hurt?

i'm sorry 
For all that I put you through
For all the times I took you for granted

i'm sorry
For being ignorant 
For letting you go through the pain

For not realizing that comparison is the thief of joy

I know it is selfish of me to say this
but I need you to be here

I need you 
to let go of the other end of the string
to accept the past as it is and move on

You have spent far too much time dwelling to realize
that now is the time for you to be happy

there's a quote that goes like this - 
'time heals all wounds
but they forget that the wounds remain
in time, the pain lessens but it is never gone'

that's the first way to look at it

the second is to see our wounds as a reminder of the choices we make
to remind us of all the lessons learnt

with days ahead of us,
I could see us looking back with a smile
after seeing how far we've come and achieved 
together

To all the broken parts in me
I won't give up on you no more

I've come to realize that 
it is you that make me whole,
Not another person. 

Just you being you
No matter how broken you think you are

*******


so are you happy now?

Love, Sara

Two Seconds

It was a hunch, that took two seconds. I thought I saw you, A little different from what I remember, But it felt like this was it. I doubted myself, Thinking that it might just be you, Just when I least expect it. The two seconds felt like a lifetime, The moment your eyes locked on mine. For two seconds, I was caught off guard, For thinking that this is how we would see each other again. When the time was up, I broke the connection and returned to my phone. While ‘you’ head the other direction. There and then I thought – silly me For thinking that either of us would’ve done something, Given that it’s been three long years since we last saw each other. As if anything would happen in the first place. Two seconds was all it took – For that thought to vanish, and we return to being strangers again, Walking our own separate paths. Even though it wasn’t you A sudden thought came to my mind – Why is it that I feel this way, Is this some kind of affect...

2 weeks of classes are done and tomorrow is the start of the third week.   I felt like a huge burden has been lifted up (not completely) once last week was over.  From being at the booth to promote the event and ensuring all the venues for my station games has been booked to finalizing the trial run this recent Saturday.  And not to mention having one report to hand in this coming Tuesday without knowing what to write for the discussion as we did not get the results according to the theories.  Almost forgotten to mention of another drama assignment where it is going to be a musical kinda thing with regards to the Principles of Biotechnology subject.  Yeah, that was the summary of my week 2 in the last semester of my second year.   As for the third week, it is finally the Interaction Day which is the event that I have been planning ever since December.  May all goes well and yours truly is excited to be the photogr...
