To do without

Ever found yourself wondering if you can do without your best friend(s) or your boyfriend(s)/girlfriend(s)? Well, you can. 

The idea that a person cannot live without another person is just ridiculously stupid. People leave. That’s life. All you have to do is understand life well enough and prepare yourself for the worst. The feeling you get? About something lasting forever? That feeling is a lie. What you should be thinking/feeling is: It COULD last forever and that you sure as hell wish it does, but life can be a real bitch sometimes. Weigh the possibilities, think hard before you go ahead and start depending on other people. Not because you won’t move on even if you depend on that person(and that person ends up dying/leaving you), it’s just that it will be a lot easier to move on if you didn’t depend on that person in the first place. 

I am not saying don’t get attached to someone. Being attached to people is good. Just know where to draw the line. Sharing your feelings with people close to you might give you a peace of mind and strength to face problems (the fact that you are not alone). That’s great. All you have to do is keep in mind that you might someday be alone, and you have to be stronger to face your own problems. Someday. Just some day. But don’t fear it. Don’t be so afraid of the day that you might be alone, ‘cause if you are lucky, that day might never come. All you have to do is be prepared if the day does come, ‘cause then all you have to do is chuckle and whisper “I told you so” to yourself when compared to killing yourself or going into depression. People say being cautious ruins the essence of life. All I’m saying is if that essence is meant to be bitter and extremely unsatisfactory, I don’t want it. I’d rather be cautious than die wishing I was stronger. 

It will be a really stupid world if there were just a few people who were right to be your best friends/partners. In a world that gives us so many options from choosing a shirt/dress to choosing our life partners through a stupid TV show, the window of opportunities is only growing in size. It is true. “There ARE plenty of fish in the sea”. All you have to do is open your eyes to that possibility of your friends/loved ones being replaced by others.

Depending on someone as though your life depends on it is equivalent to digging your own grave

If there’s something I fear, it’s being unable to push back. Being unable to fight the bitch in life. Failing to surpass the darkness that fills the path of travel. 

“Stepping up. It's a simple concept. It basically means to rise above yourself; to do a little more, to show you something special. Life's funny sometimes; can push pretty hard like when you fall in love with someone but they forget to love you back, like when your best friend and your boyfriend leave you alone, like when you pull the trigger or light the flame and you can't take it back. Like I said, in sports they call this 'stepping up'. In life, I call it 'pushing back. But if you look close enough, you can find hope in the words of children, in the bars of the song and in the eyes of someone you love. And if you're lucky, if you're the luckiest person on this entire planet, the person you love decides to love you back.”

I don't know why I end my posts on such serious notes. Although I'm afraid if I ended a post, say this one with "We have bigger things to worry about in life than people leaving, like : "

Or

"Imagine what poor E.coli generating organic cucumbers are going through"

For those of you who know me, I'm sure you'll agree I look pathetic when I try to be funny. And for those of you who don't, well, you'll just have to take my word on this one. 

Anyway, Life is bound to get tough. All we got to do is take one step at a time, just be slow and cautious, not overdoing either one of them.
