Life’s unpredictability “ART Of LETTING GO”

Unraveling the Myth of Friendship: “A Journey Through Nostalgia and Adaptability”

Life has an uncanny way of taking us down unexplored paths, and sometimes, the dreams we hold dear are left in its wake. 

There were no disputes, no heated arguments; we never even had the chance to discuss the potential future that lay ahead. Instead, we simply drifted apart. 

When we bid farewell, it was with a touch of innocence, an assumption that the bonds we cherished would remain unchanged. In our minds, life seemed as straightforward as the tales told in movies and novels – friends sticking together through thick and thin, fulfilling each other's dreams, standing as bridesmaids and groom's best men. The notion of friends unwavering through life's trials, granting each other's wishes, and standing beside one another on momentous occasions was our shared ideal. These cinematic ideals cast a shadow over our reality, and as a result, promises made in the spirit of those ideals began to unravel.

Yet, this very idealization of friendship led to promises that ultimately crumbled under the weight of reality.

Revisiting these memories, there's a touch of nostalgia and I find myself chuckling at our youthful naivety. The remembrances of trips taken, movie nights, the anticipation of starting families together, and the dreams of being a part of each other's weddings are evocative. They stir feelings of nostalgia and yearning for the past.

With hindsight, I wish I could journey back and speak to my younger self and reveal that life rarely aligns with our lofty expectations. In learning to manage these expectations, I might have spared myself some of the heartache that arose when reality proved to be at odds with our visions, perhaps the pain that accompanied unfulfilled dreams wouldn't have cut so deep.

From songs like "Thamana haat" to "parelima," I'm led to wonder if we can ever recapture the essence of what we once shared. 

I now strive to release the heavy burden of expectations that has weighed down my heart more than I could have ever imagined.

In this ever-changing journey of life, the lesson is clear – this contemplation serves as a reminder of life's unpredictability, to find balance, to appreciate the present.

It's a call to embrace the beauty of adaptability and to free ourselves from the constraints of our own expectations, fostering a deeper appreciation for the ever-evolving nature of love and friendships.
