For the co-warriors, trying to
move on!
Stuck with some old relationships, people, moments, night
long phone calls or over extended coffees with someone from the past? And the
same doesn’t happen anymore and you know it might just never happen ever again?
PLEASE MOVE ON!
First things first, the good news is that you are not alone
in this. An average human has a life expectancy of 65 years of which the first
half is when you start exploring the doom of a lonely world called love. By the
time you hit your late 20s, you know it wasn’t love or anything even in the
closer proximity. You argue with yourself in terms of analyzing if it was just
infatuation, compatibility, comfort level or just a habit and maybe then just
abandon the topic saying – You don’t know what love is! By the time you say
this, you have gone through multiple (atleast more than one I am sure)
heartaches and the whole roller coaster rides. And now, it’s time to move on.
We all have a favorite pair of jeans right? Which no matter
how much it fades or even comes apart, we just won’t stop wearing them. Moms
and others might tell you that it’s time to retire this ancient piece of fabric
now but you just won’t stop doing that. Then over the time, you gain some weight,
so naturally, the jeans stops fitting you. Conveniently ignoring your fatal
attraction for the beloved pair of jeans, your body has grown with time- High
time to buy new jeans! So we do that –
get out and search for days to get the same fit and comfort our favorite pair
offered. After days of making those unsuccessful visits to various stores and
coming back empty handed, we finally manage to bring home a new one. This new
one goes right on top of the old one in the rack. But still, the old one lies
right there, peeking through the old one. A few days down, you take the old one
and try it out. It might even fit this time but you realize it has actually
gone too ancient for you to wear it somewhere outside. You fold and keep it
back! Trust me when I say, it will just lie there, idol, for a very long time.
Time passes by and we keep shopping for more. And comes the final day when you
realize that there is not even a remote possibility that your baby can be of
any use to you ever again. And going per the theory of LIFO (Last in First Out)
it silently bids goodbye to your wardrobe one day.
Question to ask yourself now- Are you shopping? Or looking
like a beggar in the same old pair of jeans?
If not, please go out and buy a new pair of jeans. Make that much needed
trip to the store. Make some room in wardrobe and in heart, let life offer you
new colors and get on with it. It’s as simple as that! When trying to quit
something (or someone)“Cold Turkey” isn’t always the best approach. REPLACE!!
Make some room- Move on.
