The aftermath effects it brought us is painstakingly agonizing that we have to endure it everyday. We undergo a lot of changes as our response and way of coping up. We becomes self-destructive, we tend to do things out of our character and in effect, we don't know what we've become anymore. We've lost our self-respect and our identity. Those people who changed when unfavorable circumstances happened, they are not fully satisfied of what they've become. They long for the peace they once had when everything was doing good and smooth, before the inevitable as what had happened to me.  The Aftermath of a Break-up After the ending of a relationship that lasted for more than 3 years, i was so lost and heartbroken.

Do you ever feel that moment when all you got is boredom? Like there's nothing to look forward to, no reason to strive at all and you feel like you're stuck and frozen when there's actually lot of action going on around you. The world revolves and the people you know, your family, peers and colleagues seems like all moving forward, they get married, have kids, settle, get a job, move to different places, travel and so in and so forth; but you?, still in the same place, same status, same job, same salary, same sorroundings, same routine and same problems. You're in vicious cycle that you created and that's what you call "LIFE". Others are envious of what you have and see it as if you are living the life that you have dreamt of, they strive day by day just to have a chance of having the same achievements as yours, but to you, it is just a pathetic boring life!

Most students see life after graduation as an escape to the world of books and classrooms, a grand vacation and well of course, more time for sleeping and relaxation. But what is it as it really it is? It has been 3 years now when "I marched on that aisle with a smile on my face and tears in my eyes, because at last, years of studying was over, soon" and so I thought it would be. Little did I know, I wasn't prepared for the harsh realities of life that confronted me right after graduation. It was so much different than what I thought it would be and these things I wrote in here, will give you an insight of what life after graduation really looks like. No more allowance/baon .

Dedicated for that person who made my life colorful just by being in it for a certain period of time. He was in a long distance relationship and I was in a complicated relationship by the time we got to know more of each other. We became very close for those things we have in common and would spend time together whenever he takes a vacation off from his work abroad. After a few years of being in an LDR and being engaged with his long-time girlfriend, he resigned from his work to make things work for them and take their relationship to the next level.  By the time he came home to fix his papers so he can be with his fiancée which happened to be in a different country, I was in a moving-on state from the break up of my not so good and complicated relationship.
