hang on, my friend

============================
On open letter to my friend:
============================

My friend N just got her heart broken.

She was 24.

She thinks her life has ended, but i beg to disagree. I want her to know that life is just beginning, that her 'supposed' boyfriend could never be the center of her universe. How can I let her realize that she's too good for him? I have told her that a dozen times, but she just wouldn't listen! (stubbornness - one of her endearing qualities)

I want her to be happy. N, you don't need a guy to be content, let alone happy. Others find single blessedness wonderful. Still others would just pick any guy, any random guy from the streets, and assume they're happy. Please don't be the latter.

Take this time to sort out your priorities. Smell the roses on the other side of the riverbanks. Learn a new sport. Meet new people.

Life doesn't have to end now for you. Think of it as a commercial after a long first act, or the halftime show of an Ateneo-LaSalle game. Sure, you're just raring to go to the next level, but imagine if there were no pitstops. You'll run out of gas, out of steam. Your efficiency rate will go down. Your supply of metaphors will run out (hehe). You won't be ready for the next step.

What should you prepare for? Well, think about the plans we talked about that you wanted done by 2006. Roll up your sleeves and get at it, then. I'm with you a hundred percent. And cheer up, ok?

N must be quite stupid noh? I tell her all the time to stop being sissy about those heart problems. but maybe she's just a bit of a weakling when it comes to matters of the heart.
