The importance of 'breaking up' in life

Break- ups are bound to be painful, they remind us of some memorable moments of our lives that are etched in our hearts, but are those memories, instances and even 'people' worth keeping in our hearts, when they cost us our mental peace?

The importance of 'breaking up' in life

Hey, I am talking to you. Do you know why is it so important to 'break up' ?
This might sound pretty abstract and weird but sometimes it becomes important to 'break up'. And for me this phrase has a deeper meaning.
In life, you have to break up with those people or things which give you pain as if there is a hole in your chest. Be it a failed marital relationship, your friends, an intolerable dysfunctionality between you and your relatives or even objects or instances of our past.

It can be anything/ anyone from your friend to your teddy. Yes, they all are important in your life. But ask yourself, are you happy with them around you? Do you feel relaxed with their presence in your life? If it's a no, then understand it is the time to break up with them as their presence brings you down constantly.

And it becomes a mammoth task to keep the light of your mind glowing in your soul.

You want to get away from them but something stops you. Maybe it is fear, stress or anxiety of the consequences of doing so. This feeling is natural and it happens.

I too felt a similar level of pressure in my heart but I just decided to give up on some relations of my life, on those dreadful moments of the past that stopped me from moving up in life.... And to some extent I have been successful at eliminating them. I am hopeful that the remnants of those negativities will get flushed away from my life soon.

I have seen many people letting go of these pressures of their lives and they have never been so peaceful in their lives.

What I want to say is that do not let the toxicity of those relations, objects or moments test the strength of your mind and your patience. It is always better to let go of them, then sticking around with them for long.

So sit with yourself, imagine your life without those people and I am sure all you'll have is that happiness which you have been searching for long. It will lighten the baggage of tension from your head and make you independent of this cage of failed relations.

Break up, let go, taste freedom and attain mental peace!

Cheers :)

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
