Passion is Thy Name!

I learnt something important recently.
.
Human beings have this reeeeally bad habit of taking things for granted. Some folks pin it to a certain gender but I personally think it’s an innate weakness in all of us. Not just to a specific gender or age group.
.
All these years, I’ve thought it’s tied to a certain personality or mental as well as relationship maturity. Of late, I was proven wrong. I came to realise that it’s in all of us. Having said that, all is not lost. There is still hope, if we believe in the constant need to improve ourselves to be better partners, better friends, better family, or just better human beings.
.
I am happier these days because I finally allowed this realization to sink in. Not only did I stop taking things and people for granted, I also (more importantly) cut off any opportunities for folks to take me for granted. I made a 360° turn and made it clear to the folks around me that I may not be around forever for them to take for granted. Only thing constant in Life is Change - a wise saying indeed. Even our seemingly strong BN received a reality slap, FIVE times over, in our nation’s recent General Election.
.
I love the people in my Life for many different reasons. However, I have learnt the difficult lesson of letting go if I need to. No matter how strong the love still burns. Yes, I am that strong.
.
I endeavour to stop taking things and people for granted. I hope you do the same too. Or I will cease to be there for you to take for granted.
