Purging.
Only if there were some kind of place where we went to purge our emotions, I am not talking about a movie theatre. no. Just a place where you can just be and the people around you are just like you, going through things, and, they understand quite well how it is to go through things. I am not talking about the office of a therapist, no. A place where you can travel to and look around the most beautiful, exquisite scenes, presented just for them, for people with broken hearts, scars, people with incompetencies, and incompetencies that they have never been able to go above and beyond.
Don't we all wish life were like plays? Act 1, scene 1, 2, 3, 4, act 2, scene 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, act 3. Yes, it is not too far off but is it the same? How do you know you're done with Act 1 and now will enter 2? The baggage? Yes, it is the same. But where is the assurance? Have we moved on ahead? Are we stuck? What are the telltale signs? The curtains? Hmmm... it makes one think!
Things would've been much easier! But guess what, dear writer, they are not. Getting back to the "purging place", is there any at the end of the day? Nahhh! There is none but that is what plays and movies are for... they give us that half-assed certainty of what will never be in the "real".
The only thing one can do is be bold. With or without certainty. Cause TBH, she is one tough crowd to please. Nike isn't wrong. Just doing it is our only solution, the only way out. It can make you cry, weep, and beg for mercy, but it will sustain you in the long run. It will please your soul because it knows you did it all. You gave it your all. People who regret are the ones who either sit back and see their lives roll in front of them because they are too scared, or the ones who say, " wish I did not do that, then things would've been better". But does either know what would've been? Uncertainty strikes back. So why is it not better to just do it, and make that leap of faith, to be real it can suck hard both ways, so why not just do it? Guilt and regrets have different forms, they strike, but you are saved when you know you did everything you could've.
So be bold. And watch movies and plays to purge the pain, anxiety, hate, love, and fear. But do it. Just do it. Be bold.
P.S. Trust me, dear writer, you will be proud of yourself. Every time I have done things boldly, without a doubt, I have reaped and reaped. And I have been so proud.
