Too Good at Goodbyes

I want to thank you today. It's because of you that I'm not afraid. Not afraid to cut people out of my life. Not afraid to say goodbye when necessary. Yes I miss people, but I don't break when they leave. I have learned how to not get attached to someone so much that you can't stay away a single day. Not to do so much for anyone that you end up hurting yourself.

You made me see so many places. I traveled hours just to see you for minutes. Money didn't matter to me in front of my love. Yet all you did was to move on so quickly and so easily. It was so easy for you to play all this time. I knew all of this, at each and every moment, at each step you took away from me. But I had blind trust, it was optimistic bias that make me stand so long.

Now the thing is.. Did I stop trusting people? Did I distance myself from everyone. Did I stop making efforts to keep loved ones happy fearing that I would get nothing in return. They say it right, if you get your heart broken you are on the edge of a cliff. You either fly high or you fall down.

So today I was in college and ran out of money. A friend called me and asked to get something to eat. So I got something for him without letting him know that even I was starving. Yeah, so the answer is yes. I can still do this for people. Stay up late to hear what has given them a hard time.Make them feel better.

The difference is, you taught me not to expect anything in return from anyone. I cross limits for people. I can still travel for hours to meet someone. Still trust people. But I don't break anymore when people leave. I live carefree and have no hard feelings left for you. So I'll treat you with a smile if we ever meet accidentally. Just a thank you post because, my world revolved around you, but now I'm the center.

Lying Out Of Love

There was a group of three girls who planned to go on a jungle safari. The one who knew driving well was a calm person and the other two simply freaked out at minor inconvenience. Together they planned and settled at making it a three day trip for Jim Corbett. So soon after the classes got over on Saturday, they started packing bags. They told their parents that they were going on an educational trip so that they won't worry. One of them took her mother's car. They were all 20 and found themselves capable enough of having their shit together.

On Sunday morning they started off, and had a great day. Next day too they clicked loads of pictures, relaxed in the resort and had fun swimming. Then it was their last day, they listened to pop songs and enjoyed their safari. Soon it was dusk and one of them dozed off. The girl driving was also kinda sleepy. Suddenly a black buck appeared out of no where on the track and the other girl panicked and shouted. The girl who was driving got distracted and moved the steering to save the animal. And the next thing they saw was their car crashing down a big pine tree.

"Whose idea was this?" the owner of the car shouted. "It was me." they replied in union. All her mother could do was laugh. They were grounded for one week.

Whenever someone lies to us we just get angry. We take steps out of wrath that we later regret. But sometimes lying is not for selfish means. It is for the people you care for, people you love. Sometimes it becomes necessary to soothe a person with sweet lies rather than bitter truths. 

Well if you think that a person who lies to you will hesitate or won't be able to look you in the eyes you are so wrong. Compulsive liars can lie straight to your face and you won't have any lie detector in the world which they cannot fool. They have a greater part of grey white matter in their brains. Studies even reveal that intelligent people lie more often. They take it as a measure of smartness.

Anyways it's the purpose that matters. Not telling anyone to lie more often in any way XD. It is completely wrong to cheat on someone for own personal benefits. If your lie leads to the downfall of another person, if you hurt someone bad intentionally so hope karma screws you. Yet it is not so bad if you do it for the right purpose.
