SEPARATIONS

The whole universe is built up through love and the grief of separation is inescapable. I am referring to that phase which we all go through at some point in our lives. Mine started a few months back and now I am learning how to cope up with it.
It is a surprising fact that how everything is temporary. Seasons. People. Life. While we don't really care about the exixtence of many things, some people's absence really bother us a lot. Doesn't it?
I used to be surrounded by a bunch of people always. I thought that having a huge circle of friends was a prerequisite of a happy life. But that's not true. Over a short span of time I've realised that the people around you don't define you. They don't take you to places. You yourself do.
You think that the people at your school or college with whom you spend a few hours of your day with are going to be there for the rest of your life? Are they gonna stand beside you through all your ups and downs? Honestly they won't. Well a few exceptions are always there. But everything has got an expiration date, even people do.
It is gonna hurt pretty bad after someone's gone. In the beginning it would ache so bad that you will feel your heart exploding through your chest. Yeah, it's that bad sometimes. But you will get better, eventually. I was quite bad at facing separations, especially from the ones I never expected to leave. I used to lock myself up and cry my eyes out for hours. I thought that I was the only one going through such a trauma but now I know that I'm not alone in this war, everyone else is busy fighting their own battles. You see, everyone starts leaving one after the other and the void after they are gone has an indelible impact on our lives. But we can't live with this void forever, right? We gotta hold ourselves together, because nobody else will. We have to learn to love ourself first and keep ourself before others because we were perfectly complete when they used to be a part of our life and we are perfectly complete long after they are gone.
