Embrace Changes.

There's a hole in the roof. There's a huge pool of water stain on my side of the bed because the sky has just finished crying...

What,you don't want to talk about the hole in the roof? Fine.

What shall our lesson for today be?I'm so tired,my eyes are starting to flutter,but I will blab anyway, since YOU, yes, YOU have nothing better to do so you waste precious time reading about my less than not perfect life.

Today,I watched Hating Kapatid, a Filipino comedy/family oriented movie by Viva Films. I'm not really a fan of Viva, since I prefer Star Cinema, nor am I fan of Sarah Geronimo or Judy Ann Santos...but it was a good laugh.

It was about two sisters, Rica and Cecilia, who were left by both their parents when they were young. Their parents went to work abroad,and since then, Rica was left to care for her sister. They lived with their grandmother.

Their life became stable financially with the sacrifice of their parents. For twenty years, Rica cared for Cecilia. She gave everything up for the welfare of her sister. Then when Cecilia graduated finally from College, their parents decided to go home already,thinking they have fulfilled their responsibility of giving their children a decent educational background.

When they arrived home, Rica drifted away from them. She became selfish because Cecilia seemed to be closer to their parents now than with her,when years ago,she was her only family.She became jealous. She did not know what to expect from her parents or wheter to expect anything from them at all, and neither did they,so problems ensued. It took them all a while to learn to forgive and forget,and embrace the changes in their lives,but in the end,it all worked out fine.

Lesson? We must all accept the fact that the world doesn't revolve around any of us alone.The people we love have the right to love and be loved back by other people apart from us.We must understand that even though we were the ones to shape them and help them be what they were,they have their own will,and they could decide for themselves.It may be hard to let go of the people we love, but the truth is, they never really just disappear. Their world just expands, and that doesn't mean that we have to step out of their heart to give room for others.There is more than enough space in a person's heart for everyone to fit in,so jealousy and being possessive is just pointless.

Maybe that is what a mother feels when she watches her son marry the woman he loves. Perhaps, that's what a father feels when a guy picks his daughter up for her first date.We all have that in us,but in the end, everyone's freedom prevails.
