When Stars Align

This is not a story of a boy who saved a girl from fear of the unknown. This is
not a story of a girl who got a boy out of the dark world where every negative
thought eats his sanity.

Three years ago, I was the very determined girl who wants to prove to everyone
that the past does not dictate who you are today. I struggled to climb my way to
where I am now. Everything was pretty fine until one boy came into my life and
showed me his very concept of love. To be honest, it was good the first time
around. He was kind and well, funny, and because humour is what every girl needs,
I definitely fell for it. At first, the feeling I felt was too intense to handle.
Being in a relationship does not bother me at all except when things get slightly
disoriented and that, I mean, is when my parents have known the secret agenda I
have while studying. They did not approve, of course. I never actually told them
the truth. I just denied the fact that I’m having relationship with someone. With
all the ups and downs, and all the judgments I have received from my family and
those issue makers lurking around the university, I still pushed through it. Up
until one day, I realized that he was going to be my downfall. First, he never
supported me with my passion for the arts and my deep interest on topics that
only curious or maybe weird people understand. He also brings with him the
trouble he breathes and I don’t even know how to handle him at times when his
pride fails. The worst part of being with him is that he is practically obsessed.
By that time, I knew it was not love. It was just some kind of deep understanding
regarding the importance of relationship but I’m pretty sure that it was not
love. I realized that I had no future with him and so guess what, we broke up.

Anyway, this is not the story of me breaking up with him or him still wanting my
attention up until now. This is the story of me, being able to find the soul I
have been searching for so long, and that soul is, well, mine.
