Bound to no-one

“If you don’t have the right people
around you and you’re moving
at a million miles an hour you can lose yourself.”
– Dave Chappelle


Have you ever felt that you have no idea how your life would go without someone you hold precious in your heart? We all have. And, guess what? It would go just fine.

When we are brought into this world, it is after our birth we are provided with parents, a name, relatives, friends, knowledge, wealth and so on. But, ‘Who exactly are we?’ is the question that we need to answer. We are unique in our own way.

If you are of the belief that you are bound to someone, it is nothing but your mind playing tricks on you to believe that. In fact, it is not true. Everyone has their own life. No one’s life is completely and entirely dependent on someone (however close they may be).

‘You’ are defined by all your inner and external traits. When you excuse yourself from the people and the outside environment; when you slowly analyze yourself, you tend to see the things more clearly about what you want in your life and whom you need in your life.

People can be messy and degrading agents. Key to be around them: “Pay no heed!”
People can be loving. Key to be around them: “Well, love them”.

Never attach yourself to anybody in this world in ways wherein you get lost and can’t redeem yourself back. In reality, you are not attached to anyone but your own self. So, stop cheating yourself by thinking that your life is dependent on those people around you, which most of the time, is never true.

Whenever you feel that you are constantly getting hurt, constantly being stepped upon, those relationships are toxic to your mental health, and believe me when I say that they are worthless.

You may tend to think that you would suffer if you let them go, as you’d be lonely. But, know something, bonds should not be afraid of being broken. When you start thinking about how you’d be without them, it is already clean bowled, in your mind.

Toxic and draining people are never good for your health (physiological and psychological). When you feel that people are using you in form (emotionally or materialistic), it is time for you to realize that it is not the right kind of a relation to be in, whichever type it may be.
