Boulevard of Broken dreams
I felt relieved and carefree yesterday after a long time. There was something weighing on my mind, some work I had to get done and now that's out of the way I can move to the next task at hand. It's it strange that we running behind things all our life to get them and then start moving towards the next thing. Is the chase ever over?
After getting over with work yesterday I was listening to some music while driving around in my car and felt a little nostalgic so decided to drive past the department in the University that I used to study at. I didn't realize that something so mundane would bring back so many memories. I got into my first serious long term relationship while I was in the Univ. I was so high on the relationship that I completely lost my senses. I started to spend so much time with him that I started to ignore all my friends and also my family. The 2 years at the Univ were spend just running between my Department and his home. I wanted to spend every second awake with him. Well the relationship didn't last and all I was left was with broken friendships and lost time that would never come back. I guess I would never be able to experience those days again. I started to think what a dick I had been and how I had nothing to show for the 2 years except for a lot of tears and broken dreams.
I had started to plan a life with him and then one day it was like everything had shattered and he was walking over the pieces of my broken heart. I kept trying to make sense of it and find the idea of divine plan behind it all and then I realized that I had learned life's most important lesson in those 2 years. The first being that my family will always stand by my side no matter what and even if I screw up things big time when I come back home I would always be greeted with open arms. The second being that no matter how perfect your relationship may be you still need to have a strong support system made up of your close friends to see you through it because a relationship would never be easy. It's never 'lived together happily ever after' it's wanting to live together and making an effort towards it when things begin to look down.
