You know, sometimes you miss a person a lot you once were with. You wanna talk, go out and relive those good old times. You wanna laugh together, tease each other and spend those evenings just listening to each other's hearts out. But then at the back of your head, you know you have traveled a long way to stop those tears at night and it took a lot of strength to stand up on your feet and discovering newer things in life. Not the bad memories, not the pain you so strongly felt but the good moments give you so much of trouble and if you've felt deeply for a person, it isn't easy getting over all those times. People around you who love you will yell at you and tell you that your feelings are not valid and that is utterly ridiculous and stupid of you to think about someone who has hurt you so deeply. But wait, it is you who deeply understands the depth you both shared. It is you who lived the relationship. It was you both who made all the promises. If that time, your feelings were validated by yourself, they why not now ? Sometimes, it is fine going back to the memories of that person, missing and feeling low. After all, you have a heart, you didn't play and you were true. Things do not work at times. What sometimes seems forever, ends abruptly on a bad note and we feel we could never get up. Why not? We are dynamic. Change is the only constant. It takes time because your mind and heart needs to coordinate and pick you up from the emotional trauma. But it definitely will. Experiences make us better. We learn and strive for better things in life. And there's no easy path in even acquiring maturity. What you've gone through and eventually would go through will only make your thought process grow. Trust me, nobody can make you feel wasteful and unwanted till you lower your own self worth. Your happiness lies with you. Watch a movie, hit the gym, read a book, go for a drive, listen to music and think. Think about yourself. You always do not need people around you. Take out time for yourself. Discover and analyse all about you. Make a bucket list of things you wanna do, places you wanna travel, and more. Listen to the advice of others but then analyse and see the consequences for yourself before taking a step. Nobody other than actually knows what would get you satisfied. Cry out loud as much as you want to, get a punching bag if you feel that angry. This life of yours has been exclusively gifted to you. Just know it is okay to feel low, miss a wrong person and act completely illogical at times. You do not always need to rationalize things. You'd only grow stronger and learn. Be peaceful to yourself, be content in yourself and not to the world. Cherish your good times. Smile at old pictures and messages. Life is too short for vengeance and hatred. Hate is a very strong word. Don't hate love because you bumped into someone wrong for you or a relationship that didn't turn out well for you. Don't judge anyone new based on your previous relationship. Remember, every person and every relationship is different. Yes, be cautious but do not give anyone that much of power to make you lose all your faith in love. Enjoy the little moments, feel the butterflies in your tummy, get adrenaline rushes and stop complaining. Just be optimistic and love yourself. And again, nothing is wrong in missing someone from the past. It doesn't mean you're weak. It just means you endure and cherish the times spent with that person. Things do get better, it gets easier somehow. Everyday is a new day. Step into the life of just yours. Your actual journey would start the day when you you are responsible for everything that is happening to you. Now get a drink, look at the mirror(you're beautiful) and plan a great weekend!
