The art of letting go

Describe something you learned in high school.

High school and teenage both are intertwined in funny ways. There is a sudden feeling that everything will be the way it is, the way we are happy for ever and ever. It is still the time before we get to know how cruel the world can be once we step in adulthood.

However I always had this intuition that this will not last forever (I still blame it on my Sagittarius compulsions). Though I never let it show on my face, I just knew I have to let go of the friendships – the ones we wrote in slam books labelling as best ones; the ones we did pinky promises of never breaking; the bonds we think we’re unbreakable.

I know this sounds so distressing, but another compulsion of Sagittarius is to spill the truth as it is. Yes, I have been able to retain my true friends—those giggly girls who didn’t require much effort—they were just there for me always. They are all just a ping away and listen to my meltdowns without any judgment. Yes, there are silver linings because by letting go, I have been able to make most of it.

High school taught me both – The art of letting go and the art of anchoring down.
