It's tiring. It aches every part of my body muscles. It makes me feel drained to the core. At the end of every laps, I was left breathless, gasping for air. My heart beats faster than ever. My leg went numb and at times, there comes the muscle cramps.

But for each lap that I completed, it gives me satisfaction. It makes me feel contented. It makes me feel calm. For a few minutes that I swim from one end to the other end, I forgot about the world. I forgot my sorrows. I forgot the people around me. I forgot what matters around me.

I didn't know the enjoyment of swimming till I tried it recently. And I keep wanting to go more often. Swimming is never my passion nor will it be my hobby. But it helps to take away my sadness for awhile. And I guess, it's better than nothing.

A friend once told me something that I am going to remember for the rest of my life.

- Love a person not with a whole heart, but love him just with a the size of your fist.

It sounds stupid, isn't it? Especially to those who believe that love is everything and when you love, you give your all? I was one of them too. I thought that's what love is supposed to mean. That's what true love IS. But after an explanation from her, I finally understood what she meant by that phrase.

To love someone, we need to love ourselves. That's a very common sentence that you'll hear from time to time. But what we actually missed out is, the most important thing about love.. We need to seek love from the One who created us.

Throughout our life, we seek attention from our family, our friends, our admirers to shower us with love. They gave us presents, they gave us hugs and kisses, they gave us their time, and they all are so important to you. Yet, what happened to Him who gave you life for you to live in this Earth, who gave you these important people that plays a part in your life to enlighten you, who gave you the luxury in life for you to enjoy? Shouldn't He deserves your whole heart of love?

Humans, no matter how important they are to us, they come and go. They are simply just chapter(s) in your life. But the one that will stick to you from the beginning to the end of your chapter, is none other than Him.

Lose yourself entirely to someone. And when they're gone, you'll feel lost. You don't know what to do and even if you tear an ocean, you can never have them back. But it's a totally different thing giving your whole heart to Him. For it's Him who created my heart to love, and to Him I shall love with all my heart.

Before getting attached to someone, look at what he has to offer to you. Is he going to sacrifice his life for you? Will he be the one to be with you till your last breathe? Whatever that he has to offer, is it worth the only precious heart that you own, to give it all to him?

For all we know, heartbreak is definitely not the sweetest thing in life. Yes, that's the problem when you got attached to someone. You are taking a risk.

But with Him, rest assured that you will have a happy ending till Paradise with a guarantee there will be no cracks on your heart. (:
