After months I came across something, that makes so much sense and makes me want to share it with everyone. I think every word and sentence has so much substance. I am posting here so I can keep it as a constant reminder to self (Keepsake). ” Be Brave, even if you are not, pretend to be”!
All of us cannot move onto something brighter and better, if we don’t leave the stuff that is blocking us from moving forward. Clear your head or your heart, let go of the old thing, only take what you learned from it. You cannot take everything with you the good or the bad; we can only learn and try to follow the lesson.
Doors will close, people will walk away… So what!! You are still there and you will always be – with yourself!! Be adult enough to know no one stays forever, no one.. Keep moving forward with yourself, be a better person to all except ignoring the people who ignore you or disrespect you or dislike you or even better the ones who have no time for you.. (I am not going to ask you to love them) 🙁
We all have permanent people in our life (mostly family) and of course the loved ones, friends and some well-wishers who haven’t changed over the years. The rest are just tagalongs, pileons, egocentric, selfish, pretenders, losers, cribbers, users, manipulators, exploiters and self-seekers!!!
A very close friend always told me, “Ask God, to remove people from your life who no longer serve you, lift you or contribute to your well-being.” And if they are meant to stay God will keep them. If not, I guess they weren’t meant to be. Closure helps or else the bull shit will follow you.
Appreciate and enjoy every experience. Never run or jump after something. Of course all this comes with maturity or perhaps after you turn 40!! 🙂 You cannot make anything work just because you want it to work for you, be it a machine or a human – if its broken it’s broken!
Be humble and rest will follow (along with the right people in your life – the permanent ones (who love you and are supposed to be part of your life no matter how big or small role they play).
Good Morning,
Week 25 of 2015 – Monday Musings!
We both know that
you like me
and I like you
and it is all about
who admits it
first;
but
let’s go out
and pretend not
to like each other
over lunch.
Maybe we can pretend
not to like each other
for dinner, later,
or breakfast the next morning.
Maybe we can pretend
that we kiss because
we’re drunk,
Call because we’re bored.
We can pretend
not to care
for as long as you like,
but darling, no one
ever choked to death
swallowing their pride.
