How Much You Love Yourself

  Hi DJ Chloe!

   

  I just like to share my story to your listeners. I’m a 42-year old woman. I’ve been in a 10-year relationship . My life with this person is already like a marriage for us. We had our share of ups and downs but we managed to overcome all of it. Until two years ago, when the love of my life decided to go to Canada to work there as a caregiver. The first year was really tough but we managed to hold on to our love for each other. Until last October 21, 2015, when I got a message on Facebook telling me that I needed to let go; because the person I love doesn’t want to hold on anymore and is being unfair with me.

   

  When I asked why, it was because “M” fell out of love for me, that’s the reason one of M’s friends, who was also a care giver, game me. M said that he can’t lie to me anymore. He feels so guilty because I kept on telling him, in all of my messages and in our talks, how much I love him. I kept on telling him how I feel for him even though I already felt that something is not right anymore.

   

  I hoped and prayed that my instincts then were not true. However, I was wrong, totally wrong. My vibes were right. Since it’s already the second time, I had no choice but to let go because that was our agreement when he cheated on me for the first time. So, the inevitable happened. Now, three months later, I can say that I am still alive even if my heart was torn into pieces. I just want to let them know that in spite of experiencing something so painful, there is no other way but to stand up, brush off, and continue on walking. That life does not end there. We just have to move on with our lives. Still be thankful for what we have every day and don’t dwell on the aches and pains from the past. Thank you for your time, DJ Chloe. More power! God bless!

  Hi Pat!

   

  Thank you for your letter. It is refreshing to read. I hope that those who have read a piece of what’s in your heart will also be encourage to move on and that they too will realize that life does not end after a heartbreak.

   

  Whether you’re rich, poor, man, woman, lesbian, gay, a husband, and a wife, the moment something like this, a heartbreak or a betrayal, happens to you pare-parehas lang ang tama at ang sakit niyan. No one is spared from the pain; from the madness and from the temporary insanity that one experiences when you are shattered into pieces by a love turned betrayal.

   

  It’s not really how much you have loved. I believe it’s more of how much love you have for yourself, for not losing yourself in the process of loving. That when the love fades and goes away, you have, still the courage and the dignity to stand up and move on “UNFAZED”.

   

  For in the end, no matter how much you have loved a person, how many promises have been made, you have to know that the only thing that’s constant in this world is change.

   

  Sincerely,

  Chloe
