Confounding thoughts...galore

This transition phase…gap between ISB n joining IIM’A is a tad difficult to handle. I thought I had already “Forgotten and Forgiven”, but it seems it isn’t so. ISB had made sure tht I didn’t get much time 2 think about her. But now I have a plethora of that, at least till 25th. I have definitely not forgotten the infidelity part.

Then the mind wanders to the land of “What if...”, We could have been so happy together, celebrating my success…planning for the marriage....It was supposed to be just like a run of the mill love story- “problems initially…villain comes in…love takes stand, problems taken care of…get married…The end”

Then the wonky heart says, never mind….talk to her, at least maintain the friendship…But the mind vetoes the statement…
Friendship---> Love, Okay!!
Love---> Friendship, NO, Never!!
I had said earlier, “Better to have loved and lost, then never to have loved ever”, but I have my reservations now. I wonder if the feeling of ‘treachery’ from someone you were in love with was worth, the feeling of ‘being loved’ by the same person.
{I think it's okay to crib...once in a while!!}
Relating to the characters from “F.R.I.E.N.D.S."... I was like ‘Ross’, trying to make his relationships work anyhow (wudn’t have got divorced thrice for tht though!!),
But now I want to be like ‘Joey’, emotionally non-attached…totally… But of course this is not reel-life. Maybe it was better to have..., Maybe not!!

Hoping never to come back to this issue again...Going to make some use of this second life now…gonna work my fingers to the bone 4 the next two years at Ahmedabad…but also, gonna enjoy every moment…Not just ‘Exist’, but ‘Live Life 2 the fullest’…

‘Life’, I’ll be living thou…

If you could forger her so easily then I dont think it was love.. Forgetting her is hard. In fact saying that you have forgotten her is lying to yourself.. let us not lie. Let us admit that it has happened. .. It happened and happened for the good. I am sure you have grown as a person... she has taught you to love.. she has given you those rare moments which no one till date has been able to give you.. respect her for it. ..
it is better to have loved and lost than to have not loved at all... come on.. you know what it is to be loved... think of the golden memories of love you had.. at times these small memories of love is enough to keep life going... be grateful to her as she has given you those memories... you have something to cherish... you have a few good memories and a few bad memories.. remember a bed of roses has thorns in it as well...

and dont lose hope... you will surely have someone who will love you unconditionally for what you are.. you just have to wait for her...God Bless you and may you get the strength to go through what you are going through now...

Your well wisher...

Definately it is... feeling bad, low, cribbing, et al is a part of life.. let us not run from it...
This will not last long with such high intensity as time is the best healer....

I am going through the same shit, but as you say life goes on...

Touching Post! I can understand your situation since I have also been through a similar situation. I would like to say only one thing: Time heals everything. Just give yourself sometime and start loving smaller things in life...

I know you have been through this and I am more than 100% sure, you will come up with flying colors to inspire people like me forever!!!

Ciao!!!

Relationships are complicated. Sometimes its not u being unfaithful or u r partner being unfaithful. "Love was unfaithful" so u split ways.
I read somewhere that, "God takes away something important from u r hand in a jiffy so when he gives u something priceless u r hand is free"

wow... really well said..

we can say that we need a ray of hope... it is hope that keeps us alive... so if we are losing something today i guess we must hope that something better is going to come our way tomorrow

Rajat said...

Rajat - I know exactly what you are talking about. Sometimes when relationships end - The "Dream" of a relationship does not .. but trust me .. not getting what you want ..can sometimes be the best thing to happen to you. Ofcourse - the sucky part is that we dont find out until much later in the game - But meanwhile .. Time will outweigh this moment. Trust you are well and having a good time before hitting the books again !
We had our first mid term today- bet you arent missing ISB now !
until next time
