Have it occured to you that you want to hold on to something which you feel that you should, because you felt that it is worth holding on to?

Be it a relationship, work, friendship, family, your old junk car, your childhood toy, a business or whatsoever it may be.

I have been holding on… so much because I know it is worth fighting for. It is worth the investment of my time and energy into it. So many things. I do. But I learn it the hard way. Real hard way.

Today, reality strikes, even harder.

Because it has now clearly written right on my face that,

What’s not yours to keep, is just not yours.

or something similar

What’s not your rice bowl, don’t bother asking for it.

or even something similar

What’s not worth your time, definitely not worth investing in it.

But sometimes, I digress. I feel that, I can go against these simple principle. And everytime I do, I lay face flat on the ground. No. Not crying, even. Just re-thinking,

“What the hell am I even doing?”

Because, I held on to these principle to counter the above,

What doesn’t kills you, just makes you stronger.

I’m sure I can walk it through.. very sure!
