Valentine's

 

Sometimes we learn things the hard way. Actually, the hard way seems to be the only way I learn. Lol.

I was not single all 34 years of my life. I've been through relationships. Obviously, they didn't work out. End of story.

I've had this card since high school

It is still as timeless as ever. LOL!

 

 

BUT there are no regrets. Each relationship has molded me into the person I am now. Each time my heart skipped a bit and each time it shattered into a million pieces, it changed something inside of me. Heartbreaks, after all, are the greatest teachers.

Now my heart is not anymore a heart.

It is a heart-shaped bundle of callous, lacerations, scars, gangrene, and mold. Hahaha! :D

I am lucky to be blessed with a delete function that erases the not so happy memories, a save function that remembers all the good, and a refresh button that allows me to start anew after updating to a newer and improved AND tougher version of myself.

 Happy Hearts Day from my duster! :P

 

In the spirit of Valentine's, I am remembering all the good because these are the moments that keep the heart loving, forgiving, hopeful, and open despite all the callous, lacerations, scars, gangrene and mold. 

Someone once said to me:

"I can't wait to introduce you to the world. Not as Jin Loves to Eat, but Jin, The Love of My Life."

Well, let's just say that until now I am still Jin Loves to Eat. Hahaha! :P

And honestly, I am happy to be. :)

Thank you, Tina, for my Valentine's gift! :)
Now excuse me while I go eat some cupcakes.
