Love over bitterness

There’s this one scene on an episode on Grey’s Anatomy wherein a couple is supposed to go on a Caribbean cruise. They have planned it for a long time and have saved their money. But unfortunately, (I suppose you’re thinking something tragic happened) but no, her husband simply fell asleep and so the trip was cancelled. The wife was very angry. She kept nagging her husband that he’s always like that – tedious and unenthusiastic. Her husband was really sorry for what happened. He came home tired from work and so he fell asleep, that’s it. There’s no intention of ruining their dream tour.

While doing some check-up, the resident noticed a twitching in his cheeks, she run some test to find out why. CT scan reveals he has a tumor in his brain that explains the sleeping problems and personality changes.

The wife got the news and felt sorry for being indifferent to her husband. The husband replied something like this “You said I was boring, and then you are divorcing me. Now, I have a tumor huge as a baseball ball. How I wish you could’ve given me the benefit of the doubt!”

Okay let’s give it another try. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt. But before that, give me an hour to do my yoga, or what Cio told me a while ago that it is merely a matter of “mind setting.” Inhale, Exhale. Repeat it 10x or more while keeping the pranas open.

Getting the picture from a bigger perspective… from now on, I will imagine that people have tumors somewhere hidden in their brain when they are difficult to deal with or vice versa. Because (I admit it) I tend to over think some things (maybe it’s the adverse effect of giving the situation a rational excuse only to end up with an irrational remedy of nothing). It is self-inflicted. And it sucks. Maybe on one part we both did change in a way. We’re not the couple who used to h-h-w-w (holding hands while walking) along the hallway of school. There’s more to each of our individuality that has been transformed. However, one thing that always comes is change with or without tumors in our heads. We have to keep up with it before it ruins our relationship.

It’s is driving me crazy, the things I am venting out here. Do you think I created this mess alone? Could be kasi siya steady lang. Habang ako naloloka dito. Teka, inhale, exhale. Haayy.. I want this to work more than anything else, because it’ s important to me. Teka, inhale, exhale ulit.

Because of the yoga, I chose love over bitterness.

I will leave you with this vid. I can’t get enough of this commercial. I bet the girl doesn’t like yoga at all and Chuck, probably has a tumor. Dum-di-dum-dum-dum…
