This book was all an eye-opener, I gave it a full 5-stars right from its first pages without hesitating. It is highly recommended.
The title may suggested that it was intended for girls only, but if you let your mind open, and ready to use that scalpel to bravely cut deep down into your very heart, than you’ll realized that it actually could universally be applied; either to girls or even boys. The ones out there whose keep asking themselves of “why?”, and worn their friends out with their never-ending questions.
Over a year ago, my dearly friend, Cecille, lend me the book when somewhat she got really concerned of me complaining this and that about it. Of my wish and daydreaming sighs had I done something different, would it be that matter? She simply said NO, and virtually of course, slapped me on the face. And said,
You’ve done enough, you know that I know from the very beginning, and I did know that you knew, too. Moreover, bear in mind that you also know that this is the truth: she’s just not that into you. I told you that thousands of time, and you didn’t listening. If she felt that it is okay for her to do things like these, then she’s not that precious for you.
Yeah, when men fall in love, he cannot think of everything else *grin
I know that it is very hard for you to know that your ex had found someone new, especially when it happened that soon. And I know that it is very disturbing that you are not really understand why that happened. Or whether it was happened after you broke up or had been initially before. Well, mind that suspicious thing from your brain, dear friends. Because it would be no use anymore. Yet try to see it from another perspective. Trust me.. When I look back to my past, I am smiling.. :-) Why? B'coz I learn from the past..
It's good that you've already can look back & smile, girl. I envy you, dear. In my case, well, of course she could that easily moved on, and found somebody else, because she was the one who took the step. Ah, never mind. It doesn’t feel that matters anymore.
Behrendt also said that it wouldn't matter, because nothing would stop someone from being with the one’s another half s/he's really into, and if there's a problem, s/he would maturely discuss it in order to stay with her/him, instead of just using lame excuses to leave.
According to the book, it happened because she lost all the romance even long before the judgement day. Thus when the verdict fired (ta’elaaa…!:p), maybe she felt sorry for us, perhaps also a little bit guilty; but the biggest thought that would ever came up to her mind was: “..relieved..”
I have noticed this on her, even right away at the devastating moment. Do you still remember that when those mighty words had been spoken, I instantly asked her to do self-evaluation and made personal review of what had been through, of the relationship? For my better or worse? I shall honour her decision, though. But one cant help when a final last cry wondered through my dizzy mind:
Is it the perfect one or JUST the perfect timing?
…………..
What is there to say when all the love
has slipped away in half a minute.
There is always something we can blame,
but in the end it's just the same -
Suddenly, you find yourself alone.
[Basia - Half a Minute]

I think that's true..... even when we (women) say thousand times that "this does work", "this is not the relationship i want", "i don't love you"..... men who fall in love... they are hopeless case... hahaha. |

in my case everything happen JUST in the perfect timing,,
but the most difficult thing to do is 'to forget' about something, need a lots of times and patient just to release all that feeling. Hope you move on :) |
