cliches out of the make-up kit

"It is better to have loved and lost than to have never have loved at all."

We all heard of it, but I first felt it after I lost my make-up kit. 

As bimbo as it sounds, yeah, my make up kit.

See, boys are cars as make up kits are to girls. Well at least for me. It quite gives someone that ego boost and confidence to hold his/head up high (unless it's chaka, the make up and the car that is, hahaha).

Anyways, there, I lost my make-up kit on my way to work in a bus where the passengers and the driver are talking about the snatchers who just alighted. It's always the same feeling of emptiness after it dawns on me that something important has been stolen from me. See, I have resolved implicitly to invest on what I use on my face everyday; besides, make-up makes me feel good. It destresses me when work boggles my mind, and even just the thought of owning my set is quite satisfying already. It may not be the super duper high end kind of makeup kit, but I shelled hard earned money for that, so it's kinda sad to lose it all in just a snap (or hablot of the magnanakaw. amf)

After work I bought the basic stuff I had to use the next day, and though they weren't the pricey ones, for me they quite sufficed (couldn't afford to be picky anyway). That brought some kind of relief; when you think that you have something to depend on the next day. Way some time after that while walking home, I realized, though my kikay kit was very important to me, and though it made me feel empty that I lost it, I was able to get replacements, even that of a lesser quality. I have decided, furthermore, that I will buy those that I have bought before, even not the same ones, but with the thought of 'what is I lose it again?'. But as I rebutted myself, what sense would there be if I'll always be afraid of the probability that I'll lose it? I realized that I shouldn't be afraid to lose because then I can replace what I have lost, whatever the quality of the replacement. The diversion is the process of finding the replacement itself. 

So that's when I felt the meaning of 'it is better yada yada'. 

That the fear of losing can be combatted by the idea that there can be a replacement, a diversion to what you used to have. At least you were able to get a taste of it before experiencing another. 

It's very simple, but once you feel the hang of it, the actual possibility that it works, it goes to become practical.

Quite applicable to a lot really, like in relationships. 

Change is the only permanent thing, so why the heck not?
