This thing about endings. (relationships, jobs...and so on)

When you think about endings, automatically you get a bad feeling. It is scary.

People are so scared of “endings”, that they close themselves and don’t fully experience things. They do it for their own protection. Fear of getting hurt, fear of suffering, fear of what is next. It’s totally natural. But there’s one problem with that. Nothing last forever, that is a fact.

Differently of most, I don’t see it as bad thing. I don’t think that it sad at all. I think it’s freeing! It gives you the liberty of knowing for a fact that you can change when things are not good anymore. You don’t have to be stuck anywhere, with anyone, in any job. It gives you the liberty of knowing that what you choose today, it’s not a "eternal choice". Gives you the liberty to live today, with no fear of tomorrow. Gives you the liberty of knowing that you don’t get only one chance of being happy. It gives you the liberty of knowing that it is possible to love more than once in a lifetime.

“Endings”, actually, are opportunities of a fresh start. I’m not saying that it’s not hard, that it doesn’t hurt. Because it does! And it hurts even more when you didn't wanted to be over. But as they say, one door closes, two more opens. Cliche but so, so true.

And the beauty is, even the ache will not last forever.

What really matters is enjoying the ride, fully experience everything that life presents to you. Love with all your heart. Everyone you meet has a role in your life, some bigger than others, but it’s important to carry the good and learn from the bad of every experience. Suffer when you have to, it’s ok. But be fully happy when you have the chance. Don’t close yourself out of fear, because life’s passes so fast, and once it does, you can’t go back. You don’t get another chance on that. So, cheers to making each day count.
