At last after a long
extended break, trying to get out of the blues of painful lonely experience, an
unwilling yet fortunate weekend was all that took me to a closure of the past.
Sometimes all you need is to listen to friends, even if you don’t think it is
the right path to walk on to. Life might surprise you in ways you can’t
imagine. Holding on to the past, even though you have let it go, is something
no one should fall for. Let it go! Not just the root of the old tree but also
its branches, trunk and leaves that shed along.
A proper closure is as
essential as the nitrogen present in the air we breathe. It might sound
insignificant but it is evidently necessary. This weekend was all about a
closure of the unsuccessful past, leaving all of it behind and starting afresh
with being just friends. Guess what? It all worked out better than expected.
Shocking, but as fascinating as it gets, that is not the only sigh of relief.
When past relationships end with a proper closure, and then is the time you
realize internally, that was indeed a 100% closure. Like many unnamed quotes,
this one says – “Exes can never be
friends”. I apologize, but I beg to differ. A personal experience tells you
more than others’.
Life surprises you,
shocks you at times. This weekend had much more to it than expected. With a
perfect closure and enjoying the company of newly retrieved friendship, there
came a point and in a flicker of light I realized, I was just standing and
staring without even showing the courtesy to shake hands. Before others
realized, I got myself out of my romantic slumber stare and introduced myself.
Initially it was more of me shopping with my friend from the streets, while
this could-be-new-page-of-life hung out with my closure. We did exchange
glances amidst, or at least I thought we did. ;-) And then the sun took the
blanket of night clouds, and disappeared right in front of our eyes. The
concept of pre-party drink-up came to life when we headed to Yacht. With little
birds revolving around our head, we headed to the party we didn’t want to go.
Thanks to our friend, ‘coz of whom I was left slumber staring romantically, we
had to go to the party instead of walking on seaside with hand-in-hand (who
knows). Getting more birds to fly in our head, dancing together, walking
together, sitting together, talking, hugging, and the exchange of looks said it
all. There was a spark, a spark I’ve never felt like before, a spark I had been
waiting for! Sleeping next to the ocean, gazing at its shining face, the curvy
boundaries, was all I could do all night. Just the thought of it makes me
smile.
While bidding adieu,
however sad it was to leave the ocean behind, it was amazing of how it went.
The ending of the weekend was indeed a start of unfolding this new page of
life. Quite dumbstruck with the entire two days’ events, finally a new chapter
might just get unfolded with an amazing new story to last. Mumbai is indeed a
place to love. And now I have my reasons to love the place even more and visit
more often. The ocean shining under the sun is what I like. With positivity
around, Mi Piaci Ocean!
