What will you do, if you are lost in the streets? Will you:
A) stay put, cry and wait for someone to come
B) approach someone and ask for directions
C) venture out on your own and hope to find your destination
What will I do? Where is my destination? Why not let me tell you what I have been doing. There I am, still standing right at my original position, and trying to head left. Heading left will lead me into this dark alley. I have tried to walk through it many times, only to realise that I am still afraid of walking through it. Dark alleys are always pictured as dangerous, aren't they? And so, the cowardly me, will always revert to my original position eventually. As cliche as it sounds, there might be a rainbow awaiting for me at the end of the dark alley. And all I have to do is to walk through it and happiness, too, awaits me right there. But I still, do not have the courage to walk through the dark alley.
I did that, two years ago. I finally plucked up the courage and walked through the dark alley. What can't I do it this time round? Every attempt down the dark alley increases my chances of getting to my destination, for with every attempt, I will struggle to move one more inch and one more step. Maybe for every hesitation that holds me back, I will note it down and remind myself what exactly will make me happy. It might be hard and slow initially, but I know I will get through this.
Do I really want to walk through the dark alley? Why not try turning right instead? But I have totally no idea where my right is.
It is like smoking without you knowing that I do smoke.
It is like breaking up without you knowing that I even exist.
It is like deleting your messages without you knowing that that I have once kept them close to my heart.
It is like baking something without you knowing that I have baked.
It is like cutting myself on the wrist without you knowing that the scars even exist.
It is just never-ending and the list can just go on.
If I can do it two years ago, I can do it this time round. And thank you to you for 'enlightening' me. What can I do without you? You are absolutely right. Nothing's constant. But, do remember my promise to you.
