The guru’s suggestion was that maybe she should get her
heartstrings back. In short, go talk to people at the other end of the
heartstrings, close the door and get your friggin’ strings back. I think in layman’s
terms: closure.
Most people fail to realize is that closure, though harder
than a Jawbreaker, is the thing you do before, “The End.” I admire people who
can skip this and just walk away. I’m not sure if it’s plain badass or
cowardice or it didn’t matter that much to them or it was just too painful (as
my friend, I, shared).
Tiptoeing yourself towards the other end of your heartstring
could lead you to two results:
1.
Get your heartstring back and stamp, “The End,” on this
person’s forehead OR
2.
Add another heartstring towards this person.
I only have a few heartstrings out there but believe me,
they’re probably cement flavored Jawbreakers level. Yesterday, I tried to get
back a heartstring and frankly, I don’t know if I got it back or added another
one. Tricky things they are, I decided to back off and strategize some more.
Currently, I’m having a Twitter conversation with two of my
friends about heartstrings. Here are some notable queries about it:
1.
Can you just cut it?
2.
What if the other person won’t give it back?
3.
Does it have an expiration date? (Very deep. Ala
Chunking Express’ “If memories were sealed, would they have an expiration
date?”
I haven’t really pondered on these questions but my top of mind answers would be:
1.
No you can’t just cut it
2.
Please tell me that you’ve read/watched Eat Pray Love.
There’s a part there where Liz was on the rooftop of the ashram trying to make
amends with her husband at the same time forgiving herself and what happened.
(If you haven’t read/watched… RESEARCH!)
3.
Nope, they don’t have an expiration date. They can be
hidden but once it’s tugged by the other person, oh you’d know its there.
I’ll get back to you once I’ve gathered all my heartstrings
back. I’ll let you know how it feels and if it made a whole difference in my
life. So kindly stand by starting tomorrow until the day my fingers are too
rigid to type. Haha
While waiting for our heartstrings to be returned, I’ve
gathered some useful information in understanding the fourth chakra in our body

Good luck getting our heartstrings back! :
siguro tama nga. getting your heartstring back means freeing yourself from all the complications that it once brought you. you still remember what happened, pero it doesn't affect you anymore. makes sense na to me!
ReplyDeleteAs we discussed last night, yung di ka na affected when you see each other... They'll cease to be your priority.
Deleteheartstring shwarstring. ANSABE? hahaha! We are who we are because of the heartstrings we knotted along the way. Like what I always say, everything's a matter of choice. I only see 3 scenarios: sever the string, leave it dangling, or knot it up some more til it becomes 1 big fat tangle. If it's too painful sever it, the reason why its you feel as strongly as this is because deep inside you know you'll never get your closure. Leave it dangling, because you see the good in the scenario/person. Knot it up some more, because you dwell on the "possibilities" or "safety net" and tug the string every once in awhile just to see if it's still there. Choose the strings you want to be tied to you. You may give out as many heartstrings your idle fingers can knot but you only have one heart it all leads back to.
ReplyDeleteWaaahhhh! What if the person is good but not good for you... Especially with the heartstring between you two? The tugging for me resonates the question, "what if?" and question might be good or bad depends on what you do about it and what's the result. Up to this point... I don't know if I want my heartstring back. UHOH!!!!!
