THE ART OF LETTING GO
Hello everyone. Let me clarify
from the start that this post is not at all related to break up which may seem
the most obvious topic after seeing the heading. So, since this is out of the
way, let’s begin by imagining a situation.
Imagine a relationship, a perfect
one. By a perfect one I don’t mean a relationship in which there are no fights
and no arguments, but a one in which there is everything but the love
overpowers everything; kind of a perfect imperfect relationship. Now, let’s set
a premise also for the people in relationship. Both the guy and the girl are
studying and they want to go abroad. But the girl will go before the guy does,
so from now on let’s refer to this situation as “the inevitable”. There is
nothing that can change but still they come into a relationship because
sometimes you just know that you can’t just ever feel fully satisfied if you
aren’t with that person. And when you are with that person, you never feel
restricted by anything in the world. You could just think of reaching the sky
with that person. That’s the level of support and help you have with that
person. Now, back to the situation.
Both are happy every day, loving
each other more with each passing second. With each passing day making plans of
their future life with each other. And by future, I mean marrying each other.
YES, THAT SURE. Why? Because sometimes you just need to convey how far you want
to go with that person, not just by words but also by actions and things automatically
fall in place. They know that they compliment each other very well and they
know they can grow old together. And then one fine day “the inevitable” gets
finalised. And the girl is somehow to scared to tell the guy that she has
finalised “the inevitable”. Because she is also scared of going away from him
and she knows that she will make him sad after breaking this news to him. But
somehow, she manages to tell him.
The guy was prepared the whole
time for “the inevitable” but when it actually happened, everything stopped.
And I mean EVERYTHING LITERALLY FROZE. You must have heard of this theory of
moments, moments of impact that turn your life upside down. When he was
listening about “the inevitable” from the girl, even while standing in a
crowded place, everything fell silent. Its that feeling you get when you stop
feeling your presence but can see the world around you. The feeling of becoming
transparent to the whole world. But he is still trying to be supportive because
deep down he is very happy and proud of her. And he knows if their relationship
is able to endure this brief period of separation then being together for their
whole life will be a cakewalk.
Now coming to the art of letting
go. If you love a person deeply enough to see them excel in life at any cost,
then you have to let them go. And by letting them go, I don’t mean breaking up
with them but simply letting them go physically and not mentally. In life you
will face many situations in which you will have to be away from your loved
ones for a brief period of time but that shouldn’t stop you. Because if in the
end that gets you closer to the other person and makes you better in the same
process then it is worth it.
Always look at the bigger
picture. And that will give you enough strength and motivation to get you
through temporary hurdles.
