When I first heard this word 'Eternity' in context of 'Love', I opened my big hard-cover dictionary to find out its meaning.
At that time, internet was not that popular and we had one common desktop at home. I am talking about 2006 and I was in my graduation.
I have grown up in a very different set-up. We lived in a small house, big house in a joint family, celebrating all big-small festivals, birthdays and anniversaries together with homemade delicacies. Always close to my grandparents.
All I have seen and believed is families are meant to be together, during all thick and thin and love stays forever in good and bad times. Money is important for living but life can be blissful even with less of it.
I have seen my grandpa and grandma growing old together with 75 years of togetherness. And for better or worse, I belong to the same school of thought in the era of temporary everything.
Back during my MBA days, I remember writing a blog post on “How my biggest fear was getting married to person I am not in Love with”, today my fears are even deeper.
I am shit scared.
Few days back, I met a friend while travelling. She was a wife of my ex-colleague. I still remember the time I met them back in November 2010 and I precisely remember it because we visited Trade Fair together which happens in November every year.
I always thought they were meant to be, perfect for each other. It was a love marriage after 2 years of courtship. And I loved listening to their story, it was my favorite.
When I met her recently, I was shocked to know they are separated. And for the most common reason, the guy cheated on her and asked for divorce.
It was heart-breaking for me and I couldn’t stop thinking about it.
I don’t know how to express this but I am really scared. It's not the first and only story I know which ended like this.
People usually say I am brave because I travel solo and go on adventures, but, I believe solo travel is easy, real strength lies in surviving these relationship traumas.
It’s easy to travel in any corner of the world knowing that you have someone in your life with you, on whom you can blindly trust, but living in a devastating relationship is the most painful and brave thing ever.
I am really feeling terrified for past few days for I don’t know what all, may be because of Venus Retrograde and Taurus moon or I don’t know why.
Dear God, please give me strength. I don’t have too many expectations but please help me in getting rid of the pain I am in. And take care of my people. Muuah.
