I have a confession to make. After my Switch Blog, I still lost it where certain people are concerned. I tried successfully to keep my emotions in check for a few months but then I Yet Reacted to a trivial issue. But then for someone outspoken like me to keep feelings bottled up so long, it was a straw that broke the camel’s back and that’s not much of an improvement, is it ?
Then by chance, attended a Meditation Seminar which resonated of my Better Half’s words. Penning down a few milestones of my journey in the past few weeks. Input anyone ??
* I need to just accept that there just Are people who I cannot get along well with and maybe shouldn’t try too hard after a while either.
* If you are sure that you deserve respect, you don’t really need it from anyone else.
* I love myself : caring about myself is the First step in being able to loving others. Hurt affects no one but yourself. In the end no one stands up for you but You.
* By holding on to others’s actions, even though the situation doesn’t change, I get ridden with guilt for feeling the way I did and acting the way I did, ending up hurting / upsetting the one person who I truly about. And nothing / no one is worth that kind of attention.
* Whatever goes wrong, May be a consequence of some subtle action on my part and I need to take responsibility for that. I may not be able to change the past or the people involved, but I may change the future by letting go of the subsequent reaction.
* A lot of the hurt and pain, that I’ve felt over the years has left a bitter residue. But if I go to Really think about it ; I don’t really have a good memory of more than a few incidents over the last decades, so what’s the point of fretting over similar trivial things today?
* Maybe giving up hope of getting through to some people would a good thing. Just letting their words / actions wash over me would be better than fretting over why/ how they do what they do, for someone whose not changed in years, is doubtful to change now.
* People’s feelings, other than family : change over time. But one doesn’t realize some of the changes till one is in the Actual situation in person.
* For most people, out of sight IS out of mind. Someone I am fond of told me recently ” We are so used to Not having you around, that now even though you are here, don’t really remember to keep in touch. ” Cruel ! Yet so true.
* The funniest thing is the same applies to me. I realized I myself, don’t feel the same about most of the people I Thought I was attached to over the years. Doesn’t hurt as much to be sidelined as it used to. Or maybe I’ve it’s more coz I too have gotten used to being alone 🙂 After a time, people are just easier to remember as a figment of memories.
* In the end, people are left wondering how did a straw break a Camel’s back ??! No one else can really Feel the load that was there before . So better to stay Light. Being carefree would be so much easier …
Food for Thought :
A lovely dialogue from the funny movie Ghost Town :
” We just get the one life, you know. Just one. You can’t live someone else’s or think it’s more important just because it’s more dramatic. What happens matters. May be only to us, but it matters. “
i agree completely with the dialogue
i believe in living life at the moment and to the fullest..after all we have only one life
nice insightful thoughts u have adisha
Right! Coz at the end wat matters is what matters to us.
Hey! Thanks a ton 🙂
You’re a cute blogger 😀
of the many things mentioned, i learnt most of them hard way in past 1 year… so i totally agree.. realized one thing new from this post .. thanks for that 🙂
found the post more idealistic honestly.
“I realized I myself, don’t feel the same about most of the people I Thought I was attached to over the years. Doesn’t hurt as much to be sidelined as it used to. 🙂 After a time, people just become a figment of memories.”
thats true.its just normal to sideline and accept being sidelined after sometime..ur brain does the best thing fr u by trying to block off every pattern tht creates more hurting..and hence the best way is chosen by erasing past memories tht are considered redundant and a pattern is fixed to adapt according to changing situations and hence u learn to adapt..our brain doesnt keep more than what is required..
time heals all wounds certainly..
take care
live life to the fullest, kya patta kal ho na ho!!!

@ golden vulture – Thank you so much. It’s nice to have someone appreciate my words. Thanks for visiting .
Everybody knows it, but the way you pen it all down is wonderful!
I think writing in points is a lot more difficult than what one may think, and their impact is always greater because of their directness. Loved the way you handled that!
