Just because we can live without something, we don’t have to.

Just because we can live without something, we don’t have to.

These words are so true. They apply to everything that we do.

It is most applicable for the things, feelings, people, etc. we are angry at. It is very easy to say, “I can live without ever meeting a friend. I can live without, say milk. I can live without reading books.” This is what I can do, but it clearly isn’t what I would do.

It’s always with this “What we can do?, What we want to do?, and What we do?”

I love the game emotions play with us. One day, we would be so attached to someone or something that we would believe that we would not be able to live a second without that particular thing. Next day, we would be so mad at something that we would feel we cannot live with that thing. But for all the same, we do live with thing. And if I am correct in analyzing, it’s not due to any force or lack of choice. We do either being aware or not being aware choose to live with the same person, thing, or feeling.

It is same with letting someone go as well. There is a moment when you skip a heartbeat taking a decision to let something go. We know that we want the person or the thing to be there, but we also know that holding things back and tying them to us tightly is not the way of keeping them with you. We know that we are not losing anything or anyone. We let someone go because we know that the person or thing will be there with us even though it’s not physically present.

This is the moment when we are closest to reality. We learn to let go and yet be attached. This is probably what society calling being mature.

On that note, if you are letting someone be a part of your life ensure that you don’t tell them, “I can live without you.” However, if you do tell say something that stupid to them, ensure that they know that even if you can live without them, you don’t want to. On the other hand, if you are letting someone go, tell them that you will be there for them and ensure that you make them feel the same.

Life is sudden. Some things turn out to be surprises and others shock. But if you have the enough amount of courage to say a heartfelt sorry and a genuine thank you, you’ll sail through.

That’s pretty much all.
