"Et tu, Brute?"

A patient of mine said, when trust has gone, friends will go also, for trust is such a fragile thing. And every betrayal begins with trust.

It's funny how the people that hurt you the most are the ones who said they never would, because they said they care for you so much. I guess that's why it took so long this time to bounce back. Like Caesar, I was caught in disbelief. In so many ways, I felt so bad. That fallen heart feeling that suddenly wakens you to those moments where you should've paid attention to notice the signals. Yeah, that. 


But then, the reality is, in life some days will feel exactly like that. No matter how closely you follow the jumps. No matter how religiously you take it step by step. No matter how intently you listen to the instructions.  And no matter how carefully you sift through the bits and pieces. There will always be something that falls through the cracks. There will always be that sense where you missed something. There will always be that collapsed feeling under your skin.

The bright side is you learn from all that. You learn that you can endure. You learn that you're strong. You learn that you have worth. And that you learn.

I'm finally closing this chapter and putting my final word on it.


The End.
