People come into your life .
Some stay . Some leave.
Some goodbyes are easy . But most aren’t .
And sometimes you need to slowly let go of people , bidding them a silent farewell because that is the only thing and the right thing to do.
In childhood we don’t realize the impact people have on us, and transient relationships with people in our lives don’t seem to matter that much. When you grow up and realize how human relationships are, things change.
You start wishing that the emotions you share with the humans in your life would stop taking a toll on you. Why does my heart feel heavy, you think?
People who come into your life have something to tell to you, they teach you, they make memories with you, create their own abode in your heart and leave their mark on you.
At times circumstances lead to a break between you and them. Deep down you keep thinking about them and you wish for their happiness. But they become a stranger when you see them in the hallways. You start wondering how things ended and wish you had closure.
And sometimes it is necessary to let go of people who you have deep affection for.
WHY?
Because you need to feel at peace with yourself.
You may not want to accept that they are out of your lives, but to stop yourself from having that constant pain, letting go is necessary.
It’s a kind of closure that is necessary.
AUTHOR NOTES:
- I’ve had a lot of friendship break ups in my life. And I kind of wrote this as my own closure to let them go. I reached a point where I had tried everything to keep them in my life, only to realize I was holding back people who wanted to be free.
- There is another write up based on such a scenario on my blog, a fictional conversation called: Darling and sunshine. If you want to give it a read : CLICK HERE
