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.
