Sometimes, all we know is that we are leaving, don't know weather it is for the destination, or a new journey... if it's journey then we are surely leaving something behind and if it is destination then it is sure that we have left everything behind and now at the new moment there is nothing left new but just an end point which says "Turn back and see what have you crossed and realize how you reached here on the first place" but if it is a new journey and now you are all alone walking on the unknown path then still you can look back as your new path will always encourage you because looking back you may realize that "the mountains you have climbed were harder than the one you are climbing, the path you were walking on was way too dangerous than the current one" and you have crossed it, you have overcome all the obstacles in your way, if you survived that... sorry not survived but lived, if you are alive post crossing those obstacles then nothing can kill you for sure, yes you may have died many lives, walking that street but everything that ends makes way for something new, only two scenarios takes place in such situations, either you are filled with emotions during the process or all the emotions may have died, the second case is obvious and if we talk about percentage then almost 90% population belongs to such categories, they lived ones, they died and the new version of them chose to walk alone not giving damn about anyone who crossed their path in past, present or future, and then comes the rest 10% who chose to live, live even after they died, the new version of them feels everything besides neglecting it, they chose to live that every emotion which kills them, they have chose to embrace the joy and celebrate the period of sadness because they have finally reached to the point where they know that nothing stays eventually every moment everything just pass away, so why not just enjoy what we have!!! Those who died always wished and waited for something big to happen for celebration and those who are living always found some ways to celebrate, small achievements, small moments, short term happiness everything was short because somewhere they knew that "Don't know what is hidden in tomorrow, weather it is going to be good or bad or worst, but all we know is today is beautiful so living today is important, doesn't matter good or bad, if good then you lived pretty well and if bad!! then you can say you are alive" paths can't be the same as always, we can choose to cross them but we can't choose how to cross them weather to cross alone or with someone, but here's the fact "crossing alone will never take you to the experience of being with someone and sharing your emotions, it will make you tough which may be good for you but not for your own people, if they suffer the emotional loss because of you, then I think that's not worth it" and if you chose to cross it with some other trespassers of your way then might be the journey will be easy and besides looking at hardships you will be looking at the journey it will be like when while walking on a road you see a stone and cross it, besides looking at it and thinking "Damn there are too much stones" you will only be saying that while walking alone.
In the end you have to say Good Bye to your journey partner and I guess that's the bravest task to attempt, you know you are not going to see them again, you know that you will never know where they are and where they will be post that single moment... that's where the game of dead and alive begins, some die after that single "Good Bye" and some just vanish off everything and start everything fresh, does it means that those who started everything fresh doesn't felt anything while drifting apart!!! I will say that's not even possible, the fact is they were familiar with the pattern and they decided not to pay attention to that feeling but deep down this is what it must be going on,
"It's the two ends of the same rope, one in one's hand and other one in second's, while saying Good Bye either one of them are going to loose the end and drift apart or both are going to pull it straight and while drifting apart it will break from the mid"
"Existence of two people are like inscription on wall while saying Good Bye either one of them cries and every single word just wash off from that wall"
"Rain poured with a beautiful experience but ended up in disastrous flood who washed away everything and now everything has to be restructured"
"Moon walking along the road side and clouds make their way to hide if off and everywhere the only thing pertains is darkness"
"You were walking along a long road with someone, walked few steps ahead and turned back to see, you find yourself alone because no one is there"
All these experiences they hold in their heart close it down and dump them in corner somewhere which is the darkest place and their relies their all dark experiences of life, that numbness in them in last minute before drifting apart, that silence, that holding yourself together and pulling up your feelings, that lack of eye contact and smile at the end, that no turning back while leaving, that slowing down of foot steps to hold back time for a while, that hoping that "what if it never has to end", that smiling and at the final moment saying "Good Bye isn't it".
That Journey!!! that kills people sometimes and from the next minute of Good Bye divides people in that 90% to 10% ratio.
Good Bye's are hard very hard and when someone asks you "Good Bye is it?" we might understand that a chapter of life is going to close, doesn't matters if you are going to meet again or not, because even if you are going to meet the person again then also something is going to change but in that case the change will be so minor that we resist to see it.
