a letter

as i was going through my things, i saw this letter given to me by one of my roomies many years ago. she used to write letters in those small papers she always had, usually when our other roommate and i were fast asleep. i remember i asked her a question, which at that point of my life, an immediate response was greatly appreciated. and she replied with this:

you cope by returning to the people and your life with them which you somehow left when your world became him. and you cope by finding other worlds in which to move; and you cope by turning to other people whom you don't really pay attentiion to before and discover the treasure in them. you cope by surrounding yourself with people who you know loves you and try to spend more time with them. you cope by turning to long neglected harrison's and robbins. you cope by calling family and cousins and long time no-talk friends. you cope by learning something new to do. you cope by immersing yourself in all these. then you rise above your sadness coz there's life waiting after him...MAYBE AN EVEN BETTER LIFE.

reading it again, i thought of sharing it to others who has the same question in their minds. oh, and in case anybody's wondering, the letter did help. all thanks to my roomy. and it's about time i share it with others too.
