Forgetting people you imagined a future with 101

Temporary people teach you some really permanent lessons. Now, with that cue, let me begin with this question : How to forget someone with whom you have imagined a future with?

It is simple. You don't!

When you meet new people and when you pour all your time, space and existence into them, you give away a part of yourself. Now this, is not something you can get back. You can never get the love you've always given away. It always manifests in ways you couldn't have probably imagined.

Likewise, the emotions you feel when you are with someone, is the most realistic experience you get to feel. These emotions never lie. That is just the natural process of how human beings, as a species, socialise with one another. Those emotions always mean something.

People leave. Memories don't. Even when you forget someone's existence, the brain always finds ways to reminisce you of the times when you were happy and sad as well. This is a defence mechanism and ironically, the brain's way of reminding you, what happened the last time when stuff got comfy. These very memories are the ones that you actually own.

Finding yourself and doing the things you love doing, helps you remember what you used to be before that person came into your life. Do what makes you happy. Spend some time alone and reflect on your emotions. Analyse what you felt for them. Try to decipher what you feel for them now, because that will be the most confusing.

Finally, let me say this. No matter how much you hate it, Acceptance is only way you can achieve closure. Bad stuff has happened to you. No matter how traumatised you may feel now, Life will drag you on. Sit down, feel all your emotions and let them flow out. Accept things for the way they are. There is no sensible point in holding onto a relationship that has crumbled.

You cannot control the outcome of everything. That is the single key to finding happiness. Let things flow and live Life as it comes. If people are meant to be in your Life, it will be so.

If something is meant to happen, it always will.
