I believe "sudo rm -rf /unresolved_feelings" has linear with this case, reflects the decision made after being trapped in uncertainty for so long. Just like a computer system that requires a specific command to clear junk files, life sometimes demands a decisive action to resolve unfinished feelings.
There comes a point in life where we must choose: to keep walking with the shadows of the past or face them with one final act of courage. I call this the Puputan War, not in a physical sense, but as an inner battle to resolve what has been left hanging. Because life is too precious to leave unanswered questions.
For some, relationships are built on ease and comfort. However, I have
always believed that sustainability in a relationship is not merely about
financial stability but about resilience, survival skills, and deep emotional
understanding. A lasting relationship is not just about material wealth but
about two people who can face reality together.
In psychological theory, particularly in John Bowlby’s attachment
theory, a healthy relationship is one that is built on emotional security and
resilience. This means it is not just about “what can be given now,” but about
how strong someone is in enduring and adapting when facing challenges alongside
their partner.
Many relationships may appear perfect from the outside but begin to
crumble when real-life struggles demand resilience. Financial privilege does
provide an easy start, but without mental toughness, a relationship can become
fragile when life’s storms arrive. This is what differentiates relationships
based solely on comfort from those built on sustainability.
When someone grows up with ease, without having to struggle to achieve
something, their mindset is often shaped within a comfort zone. They may be
accustomed to receiving rather than fighting. Meanwhile, someone who has been
forged through a long journey understands that love is not just about enjoying
happy moments but about the readiness to face uncertainty together.
Psychologist Angela Duckworth, in her book Grit: The Power of Passion
and Perseverance, states that success and resilience in life are influenced
more by perseverance than by talent or initial privileges. In relationships,
this means that couples with high resilience are more likely to build and
sustain long-term relationships compared to those who rely solely on
pre-existing conveniences.
I do not regret the past. However, if there is one thing I must resolve,
it is ensuring that the feelings that once existed do not remain as mere
unanswered speculation. I want confirmation, not to change what has already
happened, but to gain the closure I deserve. If the answer is “no,” then I will
walk away with my head held high. If the answer is “yes,” then I will not wait
long to make it real.
Because in the end, life is not about having everything from the start
but about building something meaningful together. And only those with strong
resilience truly understand the value of a long journey. So, if someone out
there is still doubting their choice, perhaps it is time to ask: Do you only
seek comfort, or do you need someone who will stand by you through anything?
