LET GO...

- and I thought that I was strong.
I thought, "hey, I can leave, I can leave."
Oh, but now I know that I was wrong,
'cause I missed you. Yeah, I miss you
[ Stay, Lisa Loeb ] -

I do not know what's on Lisa Loeb head when she wrote this one of my all-time favourite songs . I do not know what's the story behind it. But I do see and hear some people experienced what Loeb tryin' to say in her song.

We have a tendency to take something for granted, right? I see many people take decision in a rush. They follow their heart blindly. And later, they regret it. More stupidly, they repeat this mistake over and over.

I consider the word "regret" as a taboo. For me, it's one of the worst feeling in the world, when your head is banging with questions, asking and thinking hundreds or thousands what-if scenarios. I hate those feeling. I've been there once and I never want to be in that position again.

Coba deh pikir satu keadaan seperti ini:
"Sebut saja A, seorang wanita yang sedang berpacaran dengan B, seorang lelaki (mungkin seorang wanita juga, silakan pilih gendernya sesuka anda). Then, C comes along. Pour his charm, take A's heart. A made up some reasons [1], then break up with B. Start a new relationship with C. When it did not work out, B regret her decision. And it's a pity since A found a better one already."

Gue yakin hampir semua yang mampir di blog ini pernah ngerasain at least ngeliat kejadian seperti ini once or twice. Gue cukup sering encounter this situation (bahkan involved di dalamnya). In fact, this weekend someone cries over the phone, talking bout this. And they always get the same answer from me [2].

Lucky for me, I have T. T once said, " Apapun keputusan loe, loe harus yakin 100%, jadi nantinya loe belajar dari pengalaman loe dan tidak menyesalinya". Dan I thank god, I listened to her. I never..I repeat... I never regret my decision. One of the reasons is because I made wrong decisions but not bad decisions [3]. Next reason, coz I always believe something good will happen if you try your best. So for whoever doubted me that I never regret my decision, I assure them, I never [4]. I just moved forward and never looked back.

Pesan saya buat mereka. Whatever in the past stay behind. Move forward. Just never repeat the same mistake or you much more stupid than a donkey [5]. If they're not end up with someone else, it's God's way to tell you that they're not the best for you. Just tell them:

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I love
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
[Goodbye to you, Michelle Branch]

[1]. Some of the reasons may be
(a) He definitely better than you in shallow point of view
(b) We did not work out and I need a break (Yes, coz I found someone more interesting)
(c) Your brother stinks. ( I made up this reason but may be true for some reason)
[2] Refer to next paragraph, and you can guess what I told them
[3] You made wrong decision when you have to make a decision. Otherwise, it was a bad decision.
[4] Trust me I don't. I swear in the name of my 4-year-old iRiver [6]
[5] Poor animal.
[6] I just tryin to found a way to include my mp3 player in the post.
