Getting Used to Losses
written by: Kashish Pathan
That absolute fear you feel in your heart when you get something because all your life you’ve been used to losing things and people, now when something is in your hands, you dread embracing it wondering if it’ll last since nothing lasted in your life so far, whatever came, was for a fleeting moment and eventually was meant to go away. You’ve become so accustomed to numerous losses that you’re all willing to let anything go happily before it goes on its own, as in your hands, nothing endures. The moment you take it, it slips away. You’re given nothing but taught to let anything go, it hurts a great deal although. Sometimes it feels like you were destined to lose everything so you’d never be able to embrace anything in your life and call it your own. On top of that, it adds more to your loss, when you realize you got nothing even as a replacement for your losses to alleviate the pain you’ve endured. You start waiting for a replacement, but perhaps there’s no replacement for your losses. All you get is that pain that eventually ceases to be felt with time. You sit and reflect on who you could call your own, what you could call your own, every time you tried to make it your own, it just vanished. Now every time it gives you a knock that something is coming your way, instead of embracing it, you’re preparing to lose it. You’re learning to let it go wholeheartedly because if you don’t, it’ll go away before your eyes in the blink of an eye like a butterfly.
