From one relationship to another, I've experienced numerous farewells. It could be a day, a week, or a year... I had my share of times whereby I had them returning to different continents, different countries, different states .. some for studies, some for filial purposes. I was always at the receiving end of things. I was always the one that was left behind... Which made me wonder... How does it feel like to actually leave behind people that you cherish...
I always wonder.. does the person who leaves feel as bad as the one who was left behind to wait?
And my conclusion is... HELL NO!!!
It feels way better to leave than to be left.. lolz... Now that I'm traveling so often for my work. I realised. When you leave for a purpose, be it work, family or studies, you are leaving to achieve something. But for the one who was left behind.. all things being the same... it's just a lost... no matter how the other tries to comprehend that there are reasons behind the departure.. ultimately, it's a terrible loss...
Don't get me wrong.. I feel bad for leaving the people I cherish behind too.. Be it for only a day or two.. but I realised that it is incomparable to the feeling that you get when someone important is leaving while you stay put.
So ... I here take a vow... I covenant... My relationships from now on... should constant traveling be required... Let me be the one traveling! I don't want to be left to wait.... :-P
Looking at my schedule now.. I'm guessing I've a good chance of keeping that promise to myself.
:-) ... So I'm happy...
I know this sounds a bit selfish... but to those who have not experienced what it is like to have long distance before.. you don't know what I'm talking about.. but to those who are currently in LDRs. I respect you.. lolz.. but I'm not built for it..
Should I have an opportunity to leave this place one day.. I will drag along that lucky someone.. (or should I say unlucky)...
Not exactly an interesting post I guess... This is what happens when you're not well but you've decided to come to the gym to hang out.. Being at home all the time can drain the life out of me.. Not exactly a very homey person... especially on a FRIDAY night..
