Adios 2k22.

 TO END WITH…...

 

2022 was definitely not the best year of my life… Especially considering the way it ended. Thankfully, eventually, life converged to being good again. This is the last week of the year. And all I want is to thank my people.  This year taught me that the people you think mean the world to you probably doesn’t give a shit about your existence. And the people you meet most unexpectedly can end up being someone who promises to stay for a lifetime. The biggest mistake you can ever make is probably trusting people. Not really a mistake I guess, but the biggest ever risk taken is to trust people and get carried away by their promises    of ‘forever’. Forever is mostly a myth, unless you are blessed enough.  And a terrifying mistake I did this year is to give people the power to control my mood. The moment someone giving you importance is making your day, it’s high time that you start isolating yourself and detoxing yourself. You are solely and evidently unhappy with your life the moment someone else holds on to your emotions, unless it’s someone you can for real hold on to a lifetime, they start treating you like shit.  I was also taught by this year that I just don’t need toxicity in my life. Thus, certain people are absolutely unneeded in my life. I had this habit of not letting people go because I love them. But I realised this year that yes, I love those people and that is why I can never ever possibly even want to hate these people for not respecting me but my self-respect needs to be in it’s place too, so I decided to let the people go but not the memories, because memories is a very personal thing confined to me and myself only. Whereas holding on to people who don’t wish to stay is toxic. So, I deliberately lost contact with the backstabbers but I still have photos of us enjoying together, in a very precious corner of my gallery which I do cherish in my times of need. No, I don’t reach out to those people who backstabbed but the memories and moments we shared inspire me. Above everything 2022 made me realise that we should not be forcing any bond, be it any relationship. If it is meant to be it will definitely be. And force never builds anything strong but toxicity. So let your people go, if they come back, you are lucky and loved if they don’t you never were loved by them. Accept that. Not everyone can be yours. Not everyone will support what you do. We are our biggest supporters. So, the next time I stand in front of a mirror, I will never say “You don’t deserve it”, but I will say “You deserve even better”. Everything, apparently be it good or bad, happens for a broader and better cause. Have faith.
