“The Grinch Who Stole My Christmas”

Are you familiar about the movie of Jim Carrey “How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)”? Just to give you a short recap, remember the green, ugly and mean creature there (I’m referring to the Grinch)? He really hates Yuletide season that is why he stole everything from the town, including presents, decors and other stuffs related to Christmas.

I’ve mentioned this because somehow I can relate to the movie itself.

Two years ago, I met a guy. We’ve bump into each other through a common friend of mine. You know the usual things. We were introduced to each other. We started with the stage of getting to know. And as time passed by, we became close.

We started to hang-out and you know to cut the story short, we end up being together.

It was still fresh in my mind that at that time, when I came to answer back his love for me, it was almost Christmas. To be exact it was the 14^th of December.

That very moment, I thought that this would be one the nicest gifts I received that time.

But to my dismay, the word nicest was turned to worst. I have to admit but it was really a big, big mistake of knowing him. How I wish that it was a real nice guy that I’ve fall for and not some obnoxious, selfish and arrogant monster around.

"Merrrry Meeerrry Christmas! BWaHAHAHA!" You don't want a "scary Santa Grinch" for Christmas, right?

He’s the one and only Grinch I’ve encountered my whole life. Just like what the Grinch did in the movie, (I’m sorry to say) but that “bastard” stole away my happiness and betrayed my trust.

I imagine him, no, not just mere imagination, but I see him as the monster with yellow eyes, furry skin, green creature sneaking around playing tricks at his other victims.

The nastiest part of it, I gave away so much love but in return I got nothing. I didn’t imagine that someone would walk into my life and make mine miserable. I don’t know why there are some people like him exist.

I love Christmas season a lot. But for me, that Christmas was truly meant to be forgotten and thrown away. It brought me too much painful memories that I wish again it would just vanish in my mind.

Things already happened and I just have to accept it. I know it’s hard but I don’t want to live my life forever shedding tears for that green thing. Why should I? I don’t want to sound bitter but indeed, it would be a waste.

Somehow there are some important things I’ve learned from what happened. I grew stronger and became more matured young lady upon making decisions. If there’s one thing I would advise everybody, “NEVER GIVE UP.” No matter how big or small your challenges may be, take it as it is.

At some point in our lives, there are decisions we hardly regret. We think of so many “Ifs…” that should have prevent those mistakes from happening. We suffer in the end through the consequences it brings.

I don’t want any Grinch no more. It’s all in the past and I made a promise to myself that I won’t ever do the same errors I’ve committed before. I’m proud to say that where I am right now, I’m happier than ever.
