Stepping Out

Does not matter whether we choose to step out from a person’s life or they stepping out from ours, it is still painful, despite the fact that we know it will happen someday, that it is unavoidable, that we are ready when we actually not. Always, we say we can take any blow from anybody at anytime and always, we would break down and cry. It is not something to be ashamed of, for it is what meant to be. After all, we are emotional beings, not robots; if we have no emotions, we are not who we are, we don’t do what we do and we wouldn’t have what we currently have in mind. Distance between two can be so close that they share their minds and souls whereas it too can be as far as the one between two corners at different ends of the Earth. The usual factors; any incident, anyone or any day would break the bonding in between, be it by force or spontaneously. Those who are no longer friends after certain courtship, who spill their opinions regarding the irritations of a person, who take no actions when one chooses to walk away; people who been through separations, on free wills or the other way round. Sometimes wonder, what makes us not brave enough to stand up and say it out loud when a person is leaving? What keeps us away from sharing a piece of our minds with the person we care? What stops us from reconnecting the bonds between us and the long lost friends? Could it be courage? Or maybe, we are the ones at fault. Are we?
