CONFRONTING THE FORMER .....!!

How do you feel when you think of your Ex-boss? Ex-Best Friend? Ex-Enemy? What if you run into an “Ex” on a pleasant day?? What will be your spontaneous reaction?? Well I believe it is another universal feeling like Love and pain??!!
“Damn it, I had to meet this person to ruin the rest of my day!!” is what you would say?

For many, it is an awful feeling to confront the formers. Particularly for no big reason. It can be simply accounted for revisiting the past, which no one wants to do. This “Ex” person will always be involved with an unpleasant incident of our lives, that we don’t want to meet him/her for the rest of our lives. That’s when fate laughs at you.
The moment the person appears before us, a million things run into our minds.
One feels embarrassing, cold, awkward, betrayed, sad, helpless, miserable and what not!!
The intensity varies with the relationship you once shared with the person and after how long this confrontation takes place.
There might be instances when you run into one of your “Ex-friends” who tops the “Hate list” and you had to look terrible THAT day while all you wanted was let the person know their absence in your life is least important!

We dont always “part ways” with our formers. Its always, never turning back attitude. Break ups are never official! Its always changing the mobile numbers, Mail id’s, Bus route, train timings, avoiding common friends and a big list which we are so good at. In most of the cases its not even a good bye. Things are left unspoken only to give room for interpretations that always blame the other person.
How simple will things get if only we chose to talk our mind out? So that we never have to feel bad for what happened? Never having to treat “Ex” persons as a nightmare??

Certain things in life go unanswered many a times. When the time does come for the answers, how good we stand up to the situation and speak out is left to be seen.
“If only I have a chance to get things straight now….How stupid I was then!!!” is all we keep telling.
We might still have our Ex-best friend’s phone number, but refuse to talk to them. “Come on, its never going to be like before” is another convenient excuse.
It hurts at the bottom of the heart when we miss our once best friend. It takes a great deal of courage to speak out and settle things. Courage not to confront the other person, but to confront ourselves, our past, our mistakes. True, it will never be like before, but still. It can make a difference.

While “Ex” so and so always is a headache, make sure you never want to add anymore on the list from now on. Its not going to be easy hiding away from all the people you know!
If you do want to make a difference in life, pick up your mobile and dial the long due call!!

Cheers to Friendship!!!
