Life has only one full stop!

“In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.” 

― Robert Frost

Yeah it goes on and that's where the real essence of life lies. So when you go on a journey and if your car gets punctured on the way, what do you do? You remain stranded there or you change the tyre and move on with the journey? Move on, definitely. But now than you will argue what if it gets punctured again? You only have one spare wheel! Yeah but if you wish there are ways and means to continue with the journey like you can take a lift, you can reach a gas station and get your tyre repaired etc. The main point here is the will to go on.

So why do we act like it is the end of the world when we cannot achieve something we dearly want, be it a person or a thing? At an age where you are barely getting on your feet, you cannot expect everything to be disposed off at your feet. But what happens in this phase, what you go through, prepare you for the battle you are going enter soon. This phase will define your attitude towards life. You can either nag or be sad and waste your time like your world has ended or you can accept the fact and move on towards another goal.

I am not saying that you should be insensitive towards life and dreams, but you cannot allow people or things to control your life. It is not the only thing in your life. How can you waste your life being sad over a person you have only known for a couple of years and you cannot be happy for people who have been with you throughout your journey? The best thing about human beings is that we move on. Time heals everything, though sometimes the scars stay, but which warrior doesn't have a scar! 

“You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.”
― Mae West

We all say 'You only live once' but we gotta understand it too. Life is too short to regret or be sad over anything, so yeah be sad for sometime if your feelings get hurt but then get up and get going. Nobody and nothing is worth your life. There's always a plan there for you but if you don't continue with your journey then you cannot see the things that are waiting for you on the way. If something is meant to happen it will. For simplification, know your priorities. Either you can stop living because you didn't get what you wanted or you can rub off the thoughts and move on with life. Sometimes we hype things so much and give them so much unnecessary importance that we start ignoring everything else around us. If you feel attracted to a girl, you will turn blind to your friends. If you want to get something, you will turn blind to every alternative available. Stubbornness and rigidity is good, but after certain level it turns back on you and you are the sufferer. 

“Things change. And friends leave. Life doesn't stop for anybody.” 

― Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower

If you just broke up with your girlfriend or boyfriend, you will fill up buckets with your tears, behave crazy, stop eating, ignore your friends and the worst of it, you get inspired from freaking movies and behave accordingly. Bullshit. The sooner you accept the truth, the better it is for you. May be your efforts fell short, may be it was not meant to work out, may be either of you were unsure of your feelings, there can be 100's of reason as to why it didn't work out, but one reason outweighs everything against it that "Its a bump, not a dead end. You have to keep moving." And yeah if you think your love is too deep and passionate, you can retire to himalayas and let your love get freezed.

“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.” 

― Albert Einstein

Always remember, you won't end your journey with the same set of people with whom you had begun. People will change, people will leave but against it some people will stay the same, new people will enter your life and some people will never leave you. We already are short of time and we cannot spend our precious time on someone or something that isn't or doesn't wanna be a part of our life right? There is always a replacement to fill in the spaces in our life. Those who say it cannot, wait for a decade or so and you will know. 

“You cannot find peace by avoiding life.” 

― Virginia Woolf

So move on, live on because you only live once. 

There are pieces out there to fit the empty places in your puzzled life.

Wrong pieces will leave because they have to, but keep searching for the right ones.

It's your life, make it large.

“The most important thing is to enjoy your life—to be happy—it's all that matters.” 
― Audrey Hepburn
