Sacrifices

 you cannot change what is already there and who he already is, my friend.

You cannot change the situation, so don't get frustrated about it.

Learn to move on, learn to deal with this as an adult,

learn to take this as an obstacle and overcome it like a rational adult would.

Learn to keep your personal life private; that way, whatever you have between you and him are SOLELY for you and him.

Learn that you need not always tell the whole world everything, there's no need to report whatever you have done with him in public.

If you are not in a position to make changes,

then learn to make the best out of them.

Have patience, have rationality, have selflessness,

all in the name of love.

Believe me, I stood there in your shoes.

And believe me, any relationship is nothing without sacrifices.

Sacrifices make a relationship all the more worth it.

Sacrifices are what made us today.

You will not learn about someone and yourself without sacrificing something.

You will not see what's right or wrong without sacrificing something.

And above all, you cannot love someone properly without sacrificing something.

It's not going to be easy,

hell, it will be the most difficult thing to do (other than going into labour).

But I will tell you one other thing, it will be worth every tear you have shed and every second you have waited.

And you will find a light that will help you through the darkness.

- Haruki Murakami
