Dear Yasmin,

Dear Alia Yasmin,

I don't know how this will help but I hope it does. It's not the same, I know, cause I'm just a friend, and he was your boyfriend but on the bright side, there are still people who appreciate you. I know breaking up is hard, I've been through it. I mean not like yours but I've told you things I've done with my ex, and you know how bad I was but you know, sometimes it's better to let go. Sometimes things don't go as you planned it to. Sometimes they suck. All good must end. That's life. It's like the law of the universe, we can't go against it. You out of all people should be grateful that things happened the way it did because who knows, soon you might meet the guy of your dreams. He's probably right in front of you. Jodoh di tangan tuhan kan?

I know, I'm repeating things. I know, you've heard all this but you know, when I get sad, I kinda just want people to say all these things again, cause even if I know already, it's a friendly reminder. I don't know, I guess I kinda feel guilty cause I'm like so far away from you when we should have been together right now but I probably wouldn't know what to say. You're the talker, you're the one who knows how to deal with this. But I guess heroes fall down too? It's okay, we're all humans.

Anyway, yeah you should be glad it happened like this. Could have been worse. At least you're still sane. At least you're trying to accept the fact. At least you're not cutting yourself or doing drugs. See the cup as half full, not half empty. I know I'm not really that good at giving advices or sharing my thoughts, but this is like the best I could do. Terimalah seadanya~

Whatever it is, you're still you. You're still awesome, talkative, confident, pretty, bubbly, crazy and ten million other adjectives Alia Yasmin. It's gonna take some time. But don't stress yourself. Apparently it can lead to death ahhaha. For what it's worth, I love you. And I still count as an important person, don't I? Don't kutuk him so much cause I know you know deep down that he's not a bad person. You don't know his story and neither do I. But I'm sure whatever it is, he has a reason for it. And itu pun, kita takda right to judge. Jangan lupa apa dia dah buat yang dulu dulu tu. I mean, for what you think of him la. Thinking of him as a bad person won't make you forget him. Trust me, I know. It's just gonna get you angry and you're gonna blame everybody for that. Too much negative energy, ugh.

I'm probably taking this really easy cause it's not happening to me. But all break ups share the same pain, I think. I know you're still hoping. It sucks. I know how it feels. My name means hopeful kan, hahah it's a blessing and a curse. But oh well. So yeah, eat chocolates, sing out loud, scream into your pillow. Do something crazy, it helps. Be drunk without drinking. Best kind of being drunk, cause you actually remember what you did. And it's all funny in the end.

And do not blame yourself. You ain't a bad person, sister. We all make mistakes, but that's the coolest part of living.
