Of letting go.

"But that’s disregard, you find another friend and you discard…"

The Fray

I found it funny how people could cry over about how difficult is 'letting go'...but then some friendships fell apart and I realized what it actually meant.

How it feels like someone just stabbed you in the chest. Letting go someone is the toughest job, ever. It's like leaving a part of yourself behind. That moment, your whole world comes crashing down...

But then you will eventually realize, losing one person does not mean it's the end of the world. Many more people are yet to come, and it's not like you won't be able to live without that one person.Next, you have to look at the positive side of it, let every mistake be a lesson. You will realize about how not everyone lasts forever. Focus on the things you learnt rather than being depressed. And if there wasn't anything you learn from them, I see no point in missing them so much. We often waste most of our life wasting on people who really shouldn't matter,letting them screw our happiness over and over again. You're living this life for a purpose, for a reason. Your purpose is to try to change whatever you can (for the good, obviously) and let go what you can't, because as a matter of fact, it will still be the same. Let go the sadness, the pain, the misery, the trouble..and just breathe.

Another thing, pain humbles you. It makes you realize that life can sometimes be tough. It makes you realizes you're not the biggest fish in the pond. So, a little pain is necessary, to cut your wings and bring you back to reality.

I myself have not mastered letting go, I still struggle, I cry, I scream, but in the end, I realize if they were worth it, they'd be there in my life, and I've got a lot to look forward to. I've got a long long way to go. A lot of new people to meet. A lot of new things to do. I realize, I STILL HAVE THE CHANCE OF LIVING LIFE :')

Metamorphosis.

Remember the days when all that mattered was the flavour of your ice-cream? When skinned knees was the only trouble? When the light under your shoes made you a celebrity? When you could get dirty as ever playing in the sandpit and you didn't give a damn? When no one cared if you were skinny or fat, all that was important if you could share your crayons with them? When we had no enemies, we loved every child in our class?

I DO.

And miss it, so much. It used to be so nice. And now, everything has changed.

You are judged [misjudged, rather], hated for standing up for what you feel is right. The innocent ones have turned into monsters [pardon moi :P] Your 'best friend forever's' have become mean creatures. From being friends with the whole class you've gone down to being friends with a few selected ones. Everyone got too involved with themselves and their friends that they forgot about the people they once called their best friends. Ah, that's life. Sigh.

So well apart from that, even other things changed...there were times when your parents yelled your name and didn't call you up on your Cell. Times when we actually REVISED our papers. Times when we actually SAT in class and STUDIED. Times when we used to pack our bags each evening and plan the day in advance. It might be a dumb idea to do that now, but yeah that's what we all did. :)

In this course of time, everyone in order to look cool changed...

changed for the good or for the worse ?

I have no idea.

But all I have to say is, those were some of the days which will be etched in my memory forever..and beyond. :')

PS : This is one of my shortest, and simplest posts, but it is just about something I really really feel about. So,if you did waste your time reading it, thank you :P

I will be back :D

Until then, CIAO !
