fortune plant

before my shift starts, first thing i do is to water my fortune plant. before my day off, i made sure that the glass where it was planted was full. enough for it to have water over the weekends. everyday, i pour water on it with my tumbler. it's as if we are drinking on the same tumbler. i care so much to my fortune plant. i love it. i am worried when i see the water is just half of the glass. i want it to grow and have more leaves. i always wanted to see it and be with it. i want to take care of it while i can, until i can.

but my love and care are not enough for the fortune plant to grow further. giving it all i have is not enough for it to give me beautiful leaves. pouring water to it is just like me pouring love and attention to it. but it seems that it's still not contented. later, it's leaves will have discoloration and soon decompose. soon it needs to transfer to another place where it will grow and shine and will be contented.

as for me, i need to let it go, even if i don't want to. as for me, i need not to look at it growing in the table of others. because it will just hurt me. it will just hurt me seeing you not on my desk, but looking beautiful in other's.

The longer that you hold on, the more painful it becomes.As we progress through these heartaches, we learn how to cope with them better. That is exactly what should happen from a breakup, and bad relationships...learning. So try to keep your head up, and continue daily activities. Don't let heartache slow YOU down, and just learn from it. It will get better. Just wait and see.

Life is beautiful ;-)
