Mind, Body, Soul
Already
Forgotten
By Mona Lease
Greetings, Gals!! Thanks to those of you who have told me you've
enjoyed a column of mine. Last week's column seemed to be a hit. I
heard a guy was reading these columns - or at least the last two.
Welcome aboard, sir! Not to be repetitive but - a lot of this material
works for most relationships...friends, siblings, husband/wife, etc.
The Art of Letting Go - Chapter 16 - "Read This If You Can't Forget
Someone Who Has Already Forgotten You" - Rania Naim
There are two main reasons why we struggle to forget someone: 1)We
believe they are the one for us. 2)We fear that we will not find anyone
better.
However, we should all remember two things: 1)If someone is the right
person for us, they will come back into our lives no matter how far
away they drift. 2)You will always be able to find someone better, or -
rather, someone just as good who won't forget you.
Feeling forgotten or neglected by someone you care deeply about can be
one of the most soul-crushing and excruciating feelings in the world.
Instead of forcing yourself, in vain, to forget that person, I want you
to free yourself to remember them.
Remember them when you are alone at night crying, remember the pain
they put you through, remember how you almost lost your breath because
of the tears you shed over them, and remember how you had to hide your
eyes so no one could see them.
Remember them on your birthday, remember that they are happier with
someone else. Remember that they want to grow old without you.
Remember them when you are lonely, remember how they once promised not
to leave you, remember how they left you staring at four walls.
Remember them when you attend an engagement party or wedding. Remember
that instead of being your plus one, they are your minus one.
Remember them when your family asks about your relationship status,
remember how you could have easily avoided that question had they been
there to answer it. Remember that they didn't want to give you an
answer or even help you find it.
Remember them when you're having a blast with your friends,
remember that this is how they should have made you feel, but they
decided to be strangers. They decided they'd rather treat you like a
stranger not a friend.
Remember them when you're smiling because someone appreciates you,
remember how they didn't and remember how they slowly took that smile
away from you. Remember how they chose to make someone else smile
instead.
Remember them every time you want to forget them, remember that they
are not remembering you, and remember that they want you to forget them.
Remember them when you finally get over them, remember them when you
see them and no longer recognize them.
"Sometimes all you need is for someone to just be there, even if they
can't solve your problems. Just knowing there is someone who cares can
make all the difference." - sun.gazing.com
The best is yet to be!! MONA
