I would say that this video is amazing. The stages were rather accurate in general, though not definite. Some may have gone through the same exact thing, for example, me. Some, well.. they're the lucky ones who are still friends after the break up or perhaps, manage to salvage the relationship before it went on to the last stage.

We may have not realised these "stages" that were happening in out relationship. From being so happy till to a point we get so "comfortable" with each other that our feelings tend to fade throughout times. It's only when everything ends awry, then we started to realise.

I guess that’s really quite sad. How someone you thought was the girl/boy of your dreams, someone you wished you could spend every waking moment of your life with, someone you were once so comfortable with, could just somehow, in some way, slip away from you. And once that happens, it becomes so difficult to retrieve the situation.

People might say that perhaps it was for the best, that it wasn’t going to work out, that you weren’t compatible in the end. And they might be right. But more often than not, it’s just the lack of effort, or as one line in the video went, “someone stops trying when feelings ain’t as strong as before”. I suppose the bottom line is to never take things for granted, whether in love, or in a friendship.

It might be even harder to take when your ex has so obviously moved on, and there you are, still stuck hanging onto the remnants of what once used to be. When you replay certain moments over and over again in your mind, and wish you had done things differently instead of just brushing things off.

I would like to say I'm over it. Well.. I guess a part of me did. But there are nights during which the memories come back to haunt me, and the flashbacks triggered by familiar places we once went, or the activities that we used to enjoy together.

The break up taught me a valuable lesson. Never to take anyone for granted. Be it family, friends or lover. Humans are humans, and we tend to give up at times when we felt like it's not worth in our life anymore. It's really sad that we're back to being strangers in each other's eye after we've gone through a hell lot of things together. Sometimes, I wonder why this happened.

But truth to be told, promises are meant to be broken, words are meant to be lied. I guess, there's a reason why we are like this.

“I think that if life separates us and we end up in totally different places, I will always remember when our past aligned for this period of time. And I will be thankful for that and hope that where ever you are, you’ll be thankful too. And I think that is the best we can wish for.”
