IBS Part III- And I grew up

We all think at some point that its too late. But my friends, its never too late for anything, especially learning from our own past to live a better present and enjoy a wonderful future !!!

Growing up isn’t as easy as it seems to be. Especially when you’re eighteen and have shifted your school once. Your only friends become your “old friend “ and its hard to keep up with the happenings in their lives, when you’re barely familiar with what’s going around you in your new environment.

So after a year I met my “old friends” and we were catching up on stuff when suddenly there was too much use of the phrase – moved on.

Now since when did we start using that word for friends? Well, since now!

After a year and a half the use of the phrase spread to most of my “old friends” and I still did not understand what they were talking about ! Thats because even a year and a half of staying in a new place, i didn't "move on" ! 

I didn't realized it until this evening when I was going through pictures from the past two years (the years when I shifted) and realize how insignificant in number they were  in front of the pictures  two years before my shift.

Why didn’t I get along with people well after my shift? Why were there so many fights?

The big question why was I so agitated?

And BAM! That’s what "moving on" meant!

It meant waking up and accepting your new environment the way it is, starting fresh, from scratch and still caring for the people who’ve been a vital part of your life.

Now that I am back home, I’ve realized that I forced myself not to move on. I was too scared to do that, I was afraid of losing my “old friends” and in turn I never really paid attention to the new friends I had, to the new life I had.

 I’ve learnt a lesson- to trust my old relationships and move on to form new strong ones!

Ø  Its never really late to learn anything, be it driving or learning a lesson!

Its all in your head and only you can make it SIMPLE !
