Time out mode

Yesterday I missed an episode of a new soap, so I watched it over the net. It was almost 3:00 AM, hence I'm kinda sleepy, but the conversation between the father and his daughter lingered in my head. He said "mabuti ng mapagod ang puso, kesa hindi magamit."

In my mind, easy for you to say, maybe you've not been hurt before. When your heart was broken too many times, you sometimes get tired of trying. There comes a point where you just want to be alone and be happy about yourself, on what you can do with your free time, to travel to places you've never been and to just be fabulous.

A few weeks back, my friend asked me if I want to play cards with her, a sort of fortune telling. She asked me to think of a guy then she will tell me if there would be chance or whatever. It was just for fun of course. But I bluntly told her I have no one in mind. No ex that I want to get back with, no prospect either. Is this a bad sign?

It's not that I've given up on love, I'm just on a time out mode, resting, healing, whatever you may call it. I believe everybody deserves a time to slow down, to have a "me" time. Being alone will give you a chance to clear your mind. It will help you realize your worth and what you deserve. And when you finally stop asking yourself what you did wrong or why your last relationship failed, maybe, just maybe when you've learned to love yourself again, you are now ready to give love another chance.

It may sound odd but I do appreciate my current state. Some people are in a relationship but that doesn't mean they are happy. If anyone would ask me my relationship status I would say... I'm happily single and loving it.
