A Cup Of Coffee

Won’t you feel good when you get to know that just by being your own self and being a part of someone’s life, you are really making a huge difference in that someone’s life? Just the sound of it makes you feel like a Good Samaritan, doesn’t it?

Okay so, you are you and that someone is that someone. They are at the lowest point of their life. They are hurt and scarred and broken. They are very special to you and they mean the world to you. You can see the greatness that lies within them- that spark, that beauty. You just NEED to help them to see it too.

Well let’s just say, it feels good to help that someone. It makes you feel laudable- helpful and needed. You give their path direction, your help them find themselves, you guide them, and you fix them. Basically, you are their saving grace. That look in their eyes and those unspoken (and spoken/written) words of appreciation in a way, make you feel good about yourself. Overall, it is this feeling of satisfaction that words cannot describe.

You got so engrossed in this and in them that the unstoppable happened- you fell for them. And boy you fell hard! And so, you didn’t stop stabilizing them, you didn’t stop fixing them. Basically, you didn’t give up on them like others did. You want to show them their greatness, importance and exceptionality; if only they could see themselves the way you saw them.

Eventually, you let your feelings take a backseat in order to help them. You take it upon yourself to be there for them, you feel responsible for them and their feelings. You don’t care if you’re hurting as long as they are smiling. Their actions hurt you, their choices kill you on the inside, their ego and their attitude get on your nerves but still you don’t stop working on them.

Well you know what? It’s time you realize that you have done too much for them, so much that the next best thing to do is to stop. Stop yourself from getting hurt over and over and over again. Stop forcing yourself upon them! Stop your heart from playing with your mind. Leave them alone. Walk away. It’s not like you’re giving up, it’s not like you shouldn’t try, it’s just that you’ve drawn the line. It’s determination from desperation. You got attached and one simply does not get attached! Not in this lifetime for sure. You’ve done your bit, in fact you have done far more than you should have. In this process of saving them, you lost yourself and you lost your purpose. Well it’s time you realize that you deserve more. In fact, you deserve the best. And it would be best to just stop. And remember, what is truly yours would eventually be yours, and what is not, no matter how hard you try, will never be.

Let go; letting go is beautiful. So what if they couldn’t be yours? Just embrace the memories and look forward to the future. This too shall pass! So breathe, smile, laugh and giggle. Be yourself. You never know how important “you being you” is for someone! After all, we all are beautiful in our own special and unique ways.
