Let's Talk Re Letting Go (Short Film Reflection on Halik Sa hangin)

                 I wouldn't want to dwell about the love of a lost soul and a human and how possible it is to co-exist. I just really want to delve in the part where in this movie, it was manifested that an act of a true love could come in the form of letting go. (I cried like a professional in that part. Haha!) 

                 So, there are a lot of arguments associated with true love, say for instance, the most celebrated arguments, like if you love someone, you fight for that love, or if you love someone, you sacrifice, then you let it go, and if that love comes back it's for you. But what if letting go, for good? 

                Gio (Gerald Anderson) had me drowning in my own tears when despite his eager agenda to bring Mia (Julia Montes) with him to the "other world" finally decided to let go of her, to let go of that love, with no uncertainties, with no hesitations, sealed with a kiss, he let go of that one person who gives him joy and I am sobbing like a loud baby. (The latter's out of context)

               What's the deciding factor that it's time to let go? I say, it's the part when you come to your senses that love is not selfish. There are a lot of considerations that comes with loving. It no longer focuses solely on the two persons involve, and their happiness. What's love if it's wrong? What's love if it's for other people's expense? What are feelings if you know they aren't right, will you live by the cliche of love and fighting? I say, no. There are a whole lot of external factors. True love no longer takes on "you and me against the world", what good a love that goes against the world when it shouldn't be, when there are always ways to settle for everybody's good. Letting go of the one you love because the benefits of that act outweighs your selfish emotions is truly, utterly one courageous, noble act. Not because you didn't fight for what you feel means you're weak, sometimes the bravest act of fighting is when you know when it's time to retreat. (:
