Hello, my friend. You seem troubled. You’ve become overly restless and you can’t seem to get your mind off things. What is it with you? Would you like to share about what’s going on with you?
I’m feeling very depressed.
Well, well. What can be the problem here?
I had to give up something that was forcefully taken away from me. And I can’t fight back because of myself, and the person who took it.
That seems complicated. And why did the person do that?
Many reasons. Because she decided that there were many problems with that something, and it needed to be dealt with by just putting it aside. But the thing is I wasn’t allowed to even fully see the problem, only allowed to infer on my own. Sometimes I think the person just wants to use her time of problems to strike off whatever that seems expendable first, for something that is more important, and it never occurs that this could hurt me too.
I see. So what do you do now?
Her bigger issue is solved. And I’m waiting for whatever she took to be returned.
Are you prepared for it when she doesn’t return it?
I don’t know.
So what now? Have you considered that the wait is forever and may never come back?
My most important thing to me… And I want to wait for it as long as I can. I want to know I’ve tried.
But you’re so restless.
I can’t help it! I was just suddenly thrown backwards!
And then, what’s done is done. Are you sulking?
I don’t know. But I’m bitter.
You’re looking for hope. But to chase it will only scare it away. Will you not let it look for you? You’ve been through much worse. And though this can be the most important thing right now, the only thing you can do is wait, and just relax. Relax means you let it go. You don’t keep thinking about it and you get suffocated. Don’t pressure and things will just walk into the way. I don’t believe in whatever that is defined impossible. You’ve tried your best. Now you can only wait. Wait now, Gene.
I will try.
But this also means you be prepared for anything you cannot accept. And if you get to let it go, you do it. It’s easy to talk. Show that you can do it.
