I do not really wonder how the people from my past are doing.
I've moved on.
The term "past" refers to those with whom I no longer have a relationship, including friends, family, and even cousins.
Those relationships were broken, and there's no need to fix them.
On Monday, I got a private message from a cousin about another family member that I have been estranged from for over 5 years. The communication triggered a range of emotions, causing me to consider the reasons for our distance. As I sat down to collect my thoughts, I wondered whether to ignore the message or respond.
To be honest, I don't really think there was a need for that message, but I answered.
"He's someone I used to know but have no relationship with anymore."
I was told by someone that I was so maldita.
Was I mean?
Was that rude?
Did I say something naughty?
Or was I a bitch for being honest?
I asked that family member to stay because if we continue to be distant, we may become accustomed to being estranged in each other's lives.
His last messages were hurtful. He said that my sending him a message disturbed their peace. Along with that were "fuck yous."
I did not deserve those words, but I respected his decision.
When he left the relationship, I realized he was true about the serenity part, and that I am also peaceful without him.
I don't hate him. That's a waste of my energy. In fact, I considered it as a blessing in disguise.
I wish him and his family well.
But I don't think I can offer any friendship anymore.
I love myself, and I am at peace.
I am in my 50s, and I am really passionate about being true.
So was I being maldita?

I can understand your concern over the word madilta. You are just being wise to let go and move on. I did that recently to many people and even removed over 1000 from my Facebook list. They didn't hurt or offend me but I had to do soul cleansing and stay around those with good vibes..
I had a long dispute with my brother for over a decade. The moment I decided to really forgive and forget, he came back to me sincerely after seeing how sick I am. I was amazed how the universe works.
Thank you very much for always being there to cheer me up Lili. I truly appreciate your kindness. May God Bless You and your family always 💕💕💕💕

There is no comments section at your Shroom Adobo. So I am writing here. 😂
I really love many Filipino exotic dishes and desserts which have unique tastes of their own. I was very privileged to stay in Makati for a week and explored the Greenbelt area to try all the heavenly food. What surprises me a bit is that Tagalog has so many similar words with our Malay words but not the food or culture! Interesting! Mabuhay!
