Departures

In no circumstance, will you find yourself capable enough to face the fact that it’s time to let go. It closely resembles a gum that never digests. You might be a person with strong will power, but to make peace with the fact that you need to pack your bags and step out of the door is something you’ll never be habituated with.

You might be moving in and out, traveling different cities, rolling like a rock. But when it’s starts thinning, the gut wrenches only as good as a plastic bottle. It takes a toll on you. A big one indeed. When the realisation begins to set in that the people and the places around you no longer require your presence or comfort, leaving it all behind is your refuge.

We tear down to nothing. We begin to wonder what if ‘I am not in the right headspace?’ or is it really necessary to leave? Could I fix it all again? The very moment when you find yourself surrounded with questions like these, you must know for a fact that, you need to go.

You might not have a place or a direction in mind, but to take that step out of your doorstep is the beginning of it all. Being a little apprehensive about your decision is the one of the most common symptoms, but once your feet gets a touch of the unknown world, you start wondering elsewhere.

Departures are as important as a glass of water for a beggar. If you don’t take it anytime soon, you might as well perish in the old attic of far off memories.
