At some point in your life, you realize that every person is in your life for a very specific reason. They are either here to give you the much needed opportunities that you need, give you a hard push at the back and make you realize the cruelties of reality, bestow you with new motivations, or to make you nostalgic and make you realize how different your life is in their presence. Some leave, some don’t. When some leave, you might not even have the chance to say good bye. When someone whom you care about steps out of your life, you actually feel the fear of losing them forever. Being overly sentimental is my blessing.. and also a curse. It allows me to experience the strongest emotions that a living person can possibly experience and it makes me want to capture every second of it, not taking any chances to leave myself with regrets. But the greatest irony is that it pulls me back when i want to move on. Being sentimental makes me vulnerable to being too emotionally attached to people and this is what haunts me every night. When i close my eyes, i can smell the scents, hear the fireworks, see the eternities. I cannot be the same anymore, because i have my own dreams to pursue and my own path of life to walk. Given a choice, i’d rather be void of feelings because it is really difficult to suppress your emotions, your feelings.
