Looking back and letting go

   I was traveling to MOA along EDSA yesterday (20-Aug-2014) when I suddenly felt nostalgic. Plumbed and appraised my feelings and memory showed me the trips I took along that road.

   No surprise, the trips that held much emotion for me along that road were those trips to the airport, trips that lead me to airplanes that flew to Bacolod.

   The relationship itself was educational.

   There are simply those people that can't keep it in their pants. Or, in this case, keep their skirt on.

   There are also females that forget that they're mothers despite having two noisy adorable reminders of their motherhood.

   Children are, intrinsically, innocent. They grow as they are raised. They love those who give them love. I guess that part was hardest; the walking away from those two girls that became a part of my life for seven months.

   Trust is an act of faith. Trust is the basic foundation of a positive relationship. When trust is broken, it stays broken. Ergo, never break it if you wish to maintain the relationship.

   Since this is about the past, I'm burying this post on the day I was born.

It's sad when a door closes. There's something final about closing it behind you and walking away.

It's sad when what you walk away with are memories that would easily eat up several houses' worth of rooms in a memory palace but you can't keep them all because you want to stop hurting.

It's sad when the photographs you have can fit in a zip file that's less than 20KB yet your memories of the times together are so much more.

And yet, one must move forward.

Despite having read blurbs and spoilers of it, I still bought X-Wing: Mercy Kill.

 I bought it for the following reasons:

  1. I love snubfighter or airfighter combat and maneuvers.
  2. I love how the Expanded Universe develops the characters of the X-Wing squadrons.

  3. I empathize with Voort "Piggy" saBinring.

 The book started with a successful mission that would have a significant impact on the latter chapters. Think kismet. And then comes the various missions that they go through to achieve their goal of gathering enough intelligence against their target. Yes, they are a band of rogues with a noble cause. That appeals to my Chaotic Good nature. "I don't bend rules. I bend them - a lot."

 The book goes through heart-ache and success, loss and gain.

 And you know what rocked? Piggy danced. He danced for the mission, TWICE, and it was pivotal to their success. And he danced because he was happy.

 Loss and gain. 

 Song and dance.
