Every moment is a choice...

...to stay wherever you are or to move on.

And so....Im moving on.... I have a long way to go and cannot afford to waste my time on the past.
People will continue to treat you like their property if you dont extricate yourself soon enough.

Since Im not very good at pointed personal mudslinging, it will suffice to say that people befriend you and thwart you as per their need for your services. People you thought had genuinely changed go back to their old ways.......throw their weight around trying to show who's boss in the friendship. I have done a jolly good job of delivering my "services" to them though....but I did not get remunerated as expected. I dont even care about the damage it might cause to the semblance of good ties I have with them right now if they were to read this. I dont even care about the fact that they tried to spoil my party every step of the way(and then blamed me for spoiling theirs).....because once I leave they can never really get to me again. I have forgiven them....but I will not let their shadows linger over my life any longer. I refuse to stagnate in the pain of betrayal, broken trust and fair weather friendship. My ship has to move on....it has to dock in other ports ...and witness new places, new experiences...and...most importantly...new people....nothing is permanent except change
Fate holds me back....tries to anchor me to all the people I thought would come aboard to share my journey with me.... but they all got off the ship together, leaving only my family and those dear friends who pledged their support through storm and sunshine.
Fate has done its job....it has taught me the lessons I needed to learn to get to my destiny by working through all of these people at various points in time. But there is one lesson I am now in the process of learning.... pulling away. Once I pull away, fate will cease to stop me until I have to learn something new

Goodbye dear people.... My sympathies lie with you who refuse to see the good. I shall be miles away 'ere you even realise. I dont know if you regret this, but I certainly dont regret leaving you. It is only the pain of pulling away that I feel....the last lesson is being learnt.

My destiny beckons me and I must follow the path of change to reach my destiny.
