The Rebound (!) Relationship

THE PAST:

What happens when you willingly end a relationship which was not working despite your best efforts? What happens when the initial charm is lost? What happens when however hard you try, letting go becomes your only choice. Either that or a lifetime of being taken for granted. What happens when the person who promised you the moon refuses to even make a call on your special day? What happens when people judge you based on your circumstances? What happens when all they want to know is the details…when you met? How you met? Were you dating? How close…? For how long were you together? What happens when you make a difficult choice and decide you will face the consequences, no matter what? What is this ‘no matter what’!! It is the post- mortem of your relationship – both by those who were involved and those who just love to gossip without knowing anything about it. I say to every girl I know, you are being labelled every time you voice your opinion. You are being judged constantly for making your choices. People grudge your independence, your freedom, the way you think and your way of life. But please, don’t let other people decide what is best for you. Take your own decisions, make your own mistakes. Be brave…

THE PRESENT:

Dear love

No words are enough to let you know what I feel right now. I love the way you understand me. I love the way you have dismissed my past and accepted that what we have now is most important. I am incredibly lucky to have you in my life. Thank you for understanding… Your trust is my most prized possession and I am totally worthy of it. Our relationship is open, honest and true.     I love the way you say ‘Let us build our amazing future together.’ I really look forward to it. I am on Cloud 9 darling; it’s hard to stay still when I am jumping with excitement inside. And Oh!! Did I tell you I am completely floored by the way you proposed!! I have always imagined this moment, yet nothing could prepare me for it when it came.

And you were right. The world does look brighter from behind a smile.
