I remember, some years ago, I was in my first serious relationship with someone. I was younger, -obviously-, back then. But one thing I just realized is that how naive I was in those times. I was oh so young and so foolish. I made many, many mistakes that somehow I felt like those years were the shittest part of my life.
There was one moment where I quite recall the moment when I was being so naive. This person I was having relationship with, he was not the best person with the best personality, no. He was full of bullshits and whatsoever. And yet, I loved him on that time. You know, when you love someone you tend to look at his/her on you best point of view. He/she always does the right thing, he/she does it because he/she loves you, blah blah blah. When you love someone you pretend that even if he/she does a very wrong thing, he/she must has good reason why he/she did it. Love makes you a fool. I was being made a fool because I was young and naive and I was in love.
That time, I got blackmailed by someone, that person was a girl. She sent me those prank text messages. She swore at me. She used those unkind language which I was not so getting used to hear, back then. She called me a slut and that I stole her boyfriend. What the fuck? Well, I was still this teenager back then so I cried, reading those messages I cried. I was so into the feeling “what did I do wrong?”, though now I know, not everything happens because we’re doing the wrong thing. Shit happens cos it fucking happens. Do not feel guilty if you know you don’t make a mistake. It’s simple, yet it’s hard for some people.
So after all those insignificant tears, I called my-so-called boyfriend. I wanted to tell him about this blackmailed thing. I wanted him to support me, like, “it’s okay dear I know you did not do it”, or.. you know.. those words. But instead, after I told him that she said about me stole her boyfriend, he said, “well, did you do it?“. You know, I was so fucking-broken-heart ed when I heard that. I was so damn naive I did not think that, well, the question was actually obvious to be asked. So someone said your boyfriend/girlfriend stole their girlfriend/boyfriend, the first thing you should make sure -of course- is the truth. Back then I thought when you love someone you are not supposed to ask about the ugly truth. Back then I thought love made everything right. Well then I was wrong.
I remember that naive me and I looked at myself today. Years after that moment, and I feel grateful that I am not that quite a fool anymore. I feel grateful I make friends to ones who have good minds and good hearts that I could, -say-, improve my way of thinking in life. Well, still, for a seventeen-year-old girl-not-yet-a-woman like me, this change could be something more. I hope I am on the right track. I know that I am on the right track, of my life.
P.S: About the one who sent me the prank messages, I met her like many months after that thing happened. Didn’t even know her, said she didn’t know me either (what the heck?). She said sorry, though. I didn’t give a shit about it.
