Boom! Back to childhood. All the memories flashing at random? Those non-stop laughing sessions, sleepovers playing UNO and talking about what you want to become when you “Grow Up”, endless conversations after school at the bus stop. Those times!! Ever wondered where did all of it go away? Maybe we grew up and maybe became someone but are we still together like we promised?

It’s a part of life. Meet people, spend time together, become friends, grow close, grow up and part away with time because that’s what life is right. We keep on moving forward with our lives, meet more people, make more friends and history repeats itself. And that’s only fair, it is how we are supposed to be. We need to move forward and make something out of this life. Nobody told us how it is to be done. And that my friend is the tricky part!

We initially start by trying to keep everyone happy and gradually, one by one, people start leaving because we cannot keep everyone and ourselves happy at the same time. Imagine yourself performing on a stage to a huge audience. They will pay attention to you for a while, then one by one people start leaving and in the end the number of people that remain with you, the ones that stay with you (or maybe put up with you!) can easily be counted on your fingers.

Promises are meant to be broken. Sure, we humans follow this saying religiously. How much effort do we actually put in to make something work though. We pull back because the other one isn’t responding, stop caring because they don’t care anymore, stop appreciating and thanking for those little things because what’s the need, there is always  a replacement and who cares about a thank you anyways, right?! Wrong!! This is a trap you create for yourself!!

Life is unpredictable. It maybe long or it maybe too short. There is no way to figure that out. So why not just take a leap, go ahead and do things instead of wasting time figuring out life. Grab your phone and make that call you have been wanting to make for a long time but were hesitant to do so, say sorry to the ones you have not made time for and say it like you mean it, say thank you to those who no matter what always stood up for you and with you whenever you needed them. Mend those estranged relationships and give it a second chance. Call those special ones and let them know what you have been doing!! Whether it works out or not is never the focus. The point is, sometimes making sure that you at least tried is…

All you need!
