Bye, You

I don't know what real love is

But I think it feels like You

It's not beautiful as it's said to be

It's ugly, in fact

Hurtful, ignorant; yet for some reason,

It's comfortable, soothing and homely

But to do good to myself,

I need to break out of this comfort

I need to let you go

You were never mine in the first place

And you never will be

Maybe in another universe

Love you always, Joe

Yours, Chingya

This transformative book invites readers into a deeper understanding of trust—not as a passive emotion, but as an active, daily choice rooted in the character of God. More details…

Not every love has a label. Some are just… moments.

Moments that breathe life into you. That come quietly, unexpectedly—like a song you didn’t know you needed, playing softly in the backdrop of your routine days.

We didn’t meet in a movie scene or a fairy tale.

There were no promises. No grand declarations. Just two people who found a strange, quiet comfort in each other.

He wasn’t mine. I wasn’t his.

And yet, in silences, in glances, in little shared nothings… there was something.

Something real. Something that words might dilute, and definitions might ruin.

We connected—not because it was right by the world’s standards,

But because in each other’s presence, we could breathe.

It wasn’t about forever.

It was about now.

And sometimes, now is enough to heal wounds that forever never could.

Maybe it was wrong by rules.

But the soul doesn’t understand rules.

It understands connection, warmth, timing, and the kind of honesty that only ever happens in stolen moments.

Was it love?

Maybe. Maybe not.

But it was beautiful.

And sometimes, beautiful is all that needs to be said.

“Why The One That Got Away is not The One”

If you are already at the age of 20, you probably heard the quote “The One That Got  Away” “TOTGA”, the right person at the wrong time, the only thing that is “certain” in a world full of “doubts”. Whatever you call it, you know what I meant by that quote. We can relate to it because once in our life, we met the person we thought who is “the one”, but I am not here to tell you about butterflies, heartaches and hopes about your “TOTGA”. I am here to give a head start that this post is for people who still clings to the memories that is no longer good for them. The first time we fell in love, we knew what we felt was real because that was new to us and even I knew how great it was to be with someone who completes your day with their laugh. When I was in elementary, I fell in love with a boy who I have no idea that would be my classmate. He was shy, kind and warm. He barely speaks and he is a loner, I don’t know what “love” is at that time but I was sure that I wanted to be his friend. I approached him and hang out with him after class. I thought that I was just his friend but I know that I felt more than that. I was happy to sit beside him during class and also when he asks me about our subjects. I never admitted that I liked him because I was afraid that he don’t feel the same way. And I paid the price for keeping it to myself. When he is making progress about meeting new schoolmates, I was being left out. He had a girlfriend at grade 6 and all of my girl friends like him but I was the firm one who never confessed her feelings. When I reached my secondary year level, out of hundreds student who applied for the Advanced Section, I landed on the same section with his, and we both failed to meet the required grade on grade 8 and we became classmates until our 4th year in high school. Until then, I knew that this person is the one for me, and I was confident about it. But I still keep the words to myself even when he dated some of my bestfriends. I was hurting but it didn’t matter, I convinced myself that as long as I can see him, it was enough. But it brings me nothing but an endless doubts, crying at night, and heartaches. How can he never see the person who was with him all the time? When we reached senior year level, I chose a different track but he is still hanging out with my classmates and he stayed in our room often. I wanted to forget him because I feel bad about myself for chasing the wrong person. But I guess, that is the power of love. I don’t see him around the campus but I am still looking for him. I was in denial that time and it was a torture for me but I respect myself so much and I understand that he doesn’t feel the same way. When I graduated, he also applied in the same university with mine but unfortunately he was cut short on his quota and he failed to enter the university. During my first year college journey, I met new people who brings me out of my shell. Some of my classmates told me that they liked me, and I still respond the same words I tell with my previous suitor “I am not ready for any relationship” but I know what is holding me back. Maybe, the environment and people changed but not how I feel about him. I heard stories about commitment and witnessed some of it with my friends relationship. It was the combination of “scary and fun” and I reflected on it. I realized that I never feel fulfilled because I was waiting for someone to fill the gaps in my heart. I needed to regain myself back because I owe it to myself. Until one day, I am no longer chasing. One day, I feel great that I stopped chasing the wrong man for 9 years. At first, it was hard but sometime the pain numb us and it was telling us something. It was telling us that love does not have to be that hard to find it. The one that got away is not the one because they came at the wrong time which makes them the wrong person. If they are the right person for you, they will be, because the right person never come at the wrong time. Love works in mysterious ways and we need to know when to stop and when to love. Loving someone should not be an endless fight that you always have to win, because if he finds you worthy, he will join the battle with you. It took me 9 years to fully accept that my TOTGA was never my TOTGA but instead a friend I value so dearly. It was 2 years ago since I made the decision to let go of the strings I pulled so hard to be with him. I stopped chasing and I am happy that the right person who also chased me for almost 3 years is patiently waiting for me to heal. If it’s for you, it will find it’s way back to you. The thought of letting go the person you loved so much seems scary but that is your journey towards self growth. It is building your character and life is telling you that you need to chill down because you don’t have to run in nails barefoot anymore. The right person is the one who stayed and chose you, not that the one who left you.

If they want to leave, can you allow them space to do so? And, pro-tip is to do so with an open heart that is squeaky clean with no residue of bitterness? Attempting to show someone your worth and wanting them to stay when they want to leave can become a sick obsession. In my 51 years, I’ve done this in many relationships: intimate partners, clients, employees, and friendships. Attempting to get through to them for a ways to come back together or receive closure that sometimes never come. I’ve always said people come into your life at a certain time for a certain reason, but I never understood why people leave until I did the emotional mastery healing work around my abandonment and rejection wounds. How could someone be attached to somebody and in an instant change their mind? I may never have these answers. And, over the last few years, I have had many relationships shift that I thought would be “forever” friends and family. Guess what? I’ll be honest, for some it still stung a bit and caused a ping of a trigger… Ouch. 🤕 People are on a constant journey of growth and the minds of others are always changing and as hard as we want to understand a sudden end, we might never know. Much of this simply is understanding that life is happening for us and not to us. People will come in your life to teach you lessons just as you are there to do the same. The one that got away and walked out on us should not be viewed as a bad person or that this event is a bad thing, but rather a stepping-stone for your growth in your life (and theirs)! It’s what shapes you as a person and allows you to learn more about yourself than you ever thought you possibly could. Where can you shift your perspective today to see the gift in the one that got away? 📸: @susanjeffersphotography 🧑‍🎨: @ginsupermu : : #sakredshesisterhood #relationshipadvice #artoflettinggo #consciousuncoupling #sacredunion (at Saint Petersburg, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChpyXpxpN0h/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s their loss, not yours. Take it one day at a time. Let go. Move on. Everything that happens in life is a lesson.

Blurred

He stared at her.

Thinking what to say this time.

He looked for a reason to stay.

But found himself in darkness.

He tried to focus on the sun, but the clouds were there already.

Tears went down, his vision went blurry.

He asked himself, "Is this really the end?"

Excerpt from a longer poem of mine.

[practicalkitchenwitch]

Day 5: 30 Days of Change Forgiveness: it doesn't mean reconciliation, it is a realese of the emotion of anger. It is vitally important for mental health. This divine act requires patience, dedication and time. The art of letting go (while allowing the past to remain) is required for Healing. Forgive yourself today. Forgive uncontrollable circumstances. Forgive those who created unease. This is growth. Ask yourself what did you Learn? How can you move forward in your future? Create a world that gives you peace. #30daysofchange #mentalhealth #forgiveness #healing #practicalmagick #witchesofinstagram🔮🌙 #quoteoftheday #quote #growth #peace #love #live #joy #artoflettinggo #release #practicalkitchenwitch https://www.instagram.com/p/B_8tzDmgLC0/?igshid=1r9ms74ri0rm4

I wish it was that easy: letting someone in and letting someone go.

— N.N

[chelsthetics-blog]

“The hardest things to let go of are the things you never really had.”

I’ve lost my words the moment I let go of you. And yet, here I am. Writing about you. I realized, letting you go isn’t a one-time thing, it’s something I have to do every day, over and over again.

Just in case you’re wondering why I like you. You’re just so busy being you, you have no idea how utterly unprecedented you are. I feel things with you I’ve never felt before. You are a mystery to me, yet so familiar. How I wish I could explain your eyes and how the sound of your voice gives me butterflies.

But even though I feel all this, I can’t let you see. I always thought that holding on was worth the pain it takes. I was wrong. Holding on to someone who doesn’t want to be held on to is the worst thing. You’re a person with a shady face not knowing what you really feel inside. We had galaxies between us and yet, you still needed space. You’re like a pretty butterfly, floating through every smell of every flowers while I’m nothing but a bunch of love letters in a box and a few pictures on the wall waiting for you to read and to be looked at. Loving you was not the problem, it was you loving me. I know deep down you truly did want me and probably always will. But I’ll always loved you more. You are my unfinished business that I will always be curious about. I will always want to do things with you but I know I can’t keep doing them. What we had was amazing and I will never forget that but I’ve come to terms with the fact that I will never be the only one. That’s why I am letting you go. I am letting you go not because I wanted to, but because it is the right thing to do.
