Life happens

It’s All You Can Do . . .

You can try a zillion strategies to forget some things, but, they will never-ever- escape you. Not one moment. It’s hysterical to watch the people who have once told you that you wouldn’t be anyone without them, as if their lives were so important, coming back in your life. But, for what?

It’s pathetic. Seeing them crouching on the floor crying their sorrows. They think that the flame that they have put you through is like the dust that can fade in the air, just like that. No. Just like the forest, once it is destroyed, what happened? Its ruined. It’s gone. Everything in it.

But, it is so beautiful, how you have learned to fight for yourself. So, be proud of that. You can’t do anything for them now! Let them drown in their own tears. It’s all you can do. Except, wishing them farewell, or wishing them to, perhaps, collapse on their knees to pray for their souls to be restored, or to hope that they have found peace after their destruction. But, for you, you can only keep moving like the playful wind because you can breathe now.

Applause yourself for being strong, brave, and for seeing how wrong they were. Now, the best is yet to come. I hope that, someday, they will see the light.  Understand and accept the truth that you don’t need them. You have found a strength that you have never known.

ALL YOU CAN DO IS ALL YOU CAN DO. BUT, MAKE SURE YOU DO ALL YOU CAN DO. SO, KEEP MOVING. KEEP SPREADING YOUR WINGS. KEEP DANCING YOUR DANCE. KEEP SINGING YOUR SONG OF LIFE. THE COMPASS IS IN YOUR HANDS! IT IS NOT BORROWED. IT IS ALL YOURS! MAKE THE BEST OF IT!
