Let go.

Growing up brings along many adaptations, additions and of course subtractions from ones life. Whether it is material objects or materially created people. They are friends, family, people who matter, people who mattered, people who once meant the world to you and today refuse to say 'hi' and even those who never cared and probably never will. When one decides to leave, he should. You must not try to stop them or bind them in the clutches of romantic or emotional bondage. Don't even try to make them stay. No don't. Don't try too hard. In the end, you are the only one who is going to regret it. Remember in the end it is always about you. Their sudden absence might create a void in your life. A void difficult to fill with any other. Difficult but not impossible. The most vulnerable positions are of people who matter the most. Of people you depend on. In spite of the independence one would like to claim to possess, there is always one person in everyone's life who is a Watson figure. It is the first number on your speed dial or the first call you make when in crisis. Have you ever thought what would happen when they are gone ? No ? Of course, you have not. That would scare you, probably wont let you sleep at nights. Such is the power of the most vulnerable spot in your life. The person who is your go-to, the one who is always there, the shoulder, the friend, the guardian, the adviser and even the one like your mother when you need just that, might also leave you.

By now we all are aware of the uncertainty of life and it's almost creative ability to surprise us in various ways, to turn a comedy into a tragedy and to do exactly the opposite too. Doesn't that leave us all without a "plan" in the larger sphere of life. If we are so unarmed against this army of black flags and black horses called "destiny" we will assuredly be defeated by it. So, learn to let go. If only we learn to let go of people and relationships that have unwantingly/wantingly created an undoable knot we could help repair ourselves much faster. An amended relationship is never like the one that you used to have. Also, the pain that occurs in there absence is easily bearable when compared with the one that you experience in their presence. You're together and it's still not the same ? Nothing has changed and still everything has? Their absence when felt in their presence is what might kill you. It
will cause immense pain and might break your heart beyond repair.

So keep your guard on. If it is not repairable in the first go, it will never be. This time let them go without the hope of their coming back. Not all those who go are meant to return.


Akhirkaar subha ka har bhula shaam ko ghar wapas nahin aata, kuch log door nikal jaate hain kabhi na wapas aane ke liye.
