Move On!

This is the post-game blog. (Refer to Dik's most recent blog about the game)

So after the heart-stopping game, the usuals went to our house. Ofcourse, discussions on who was right or wrong went about. And the most used line that night was "Move on," given the fact that our team lost!

As the night went on, many topics were brought up, but it always just ended up with the game. No matter how much we say we want to move on, forget things or to at least stop thinking about it, we always fail to do so. Why?

I don't get how people have so much hangups in life. Well infairness to them, it will really take time and require a lot of effort. But in any case, time should take it away. Especially when we have so much things to hold on to at present. It is much harder when something good is taken away from us. And we always find it difficult to see through the rough times. But, in the end, the message for us, that will truly free us is "Move on."

This league has brought about so many countless interactions with people Dik and I used to hang out with. After years of you-do-not-exist-in-our-lives days, we find ourselves caught in the middle of a basketball game, greeting each other and just simply being civil. Does this imply a reunion of friendship? Nope. For me, this only proves that we all have moved on. Moved on from the many issues, and just simply let go. And on my part, that just simply meant, I don't need to please anybody. I don't need to make them accept whatever issues we had and most importantly, I don't need to be friends again. We're cool just being civil.

And that's moving on. Being friends again is not the requirement for anyone to say I've moved on or we moved on. I think the most important part is we have acknowledged the fact that we don't need to be friends. We can just be those people who are occasionally caught in one place and manage to greet each other. With no meaning, no malice, and hopefully no issues.

Move on. It only takes one choice, one hello to take all the bitterness aside, to relay the message that you're happy just the way you are right now. No bitterness, no more issues. Just simply moving on.
