The Art of Moving On

Sometimes life has the habit of kicking us in the teeth, perhaps through no fault of our own.We have two options to dealing with what life throws at us and these are to give up and go into depression or to accept whatever happens in life and then move on with our lives, if we make the right choice then we grieve of course, then pick ourselves up and move on with our life.

"This is it. its time to move on". How many times have i heard this before - yet, every time i am thrown in this situation, its like its happening for the first time

Whenever i move on from a place - its always a bit hard, like now. Moving on from my house, from the locality, from the tube station, from job, from the shopkeeper that is always shouting, from the bus that is always crowded, from the lunch that is always quick, from the Tuesday evening drinks which never start on time, from the pub full of drunk people,and most importantly moving on from friends who i have spent so much time with and whom i might not see again.

I try many things when such things happen, whether they are setbacks in life or moving on from places and from friends. i try to stay calm and composed, i try to stay objective and rational, i try to separate my emotions from reality, i try to show i am very strong and can handle the situation without any problems and i even try reverse psychology (e.g. oh! i didn't want/like it anyways:))

I still havent devised a sure shot formula to come out of the situation, but one thing i know for sure that there are some things i will never move on from. Those are the things which i will keep with me on my life journey and invariably they will be people,not things or places.Moving on is moving forward for many ,but i do think that i dont need to leave some important things behind to move forward.

So here's to all friends and one other person - i will not move on from you:)
