Never say ‘Never’!

 che2

This is a lesson taught to ‘her’ by LIFE and taught to ‘me’ by ‘her’...!

We all have certain likes and dislikes. Most often we have reasons to them and for a few, we can’t really reason out as to why they fall in a certain category. Well, that’s how it is ...It’s something we feel a certain way; we might not have an explanation for...Without pondering on ‘those’ with no reasons, here is a story about this big dislike a girl always had towards something with all the reasons to support this aversion of hers!

There is this place which was not her birthplace, not the place she spent her childhood, not her native but had her immediate family members there; plus it seemed like she had her cultural roots from there, somehow. She was taken to this place by her parents atleast once every year, especially during her summer vacations in school. Not that it was a hill station or something to revive her in that point in time. Fact being it was a climate even worse than the place she came from.

The family origin had spread its wings ages back on this part of earth and most of them (read kin) had their feet at some point in time, on this land. Hence, they would land up there! A reason quite strong, yet not convincing enough to a kid in high school. She felt nothing good there. Every second she would fight it out with the climate of this place...Topping this, was her body reacting to the ‘almost never changing’ climate, in various ‘not so good’ ways.

She never realized when this lingering dislike became a built-in aversion towards this place. Considering the various ‘not so comforting’ experiences she had, she strongly-willed for herself, “I shall never live HERE!”

She is now all set to hug a new family with the same pride she sees in embracing her first family. She ain’t a little girl anymore. She knows what she wants and doesn’t really have to go by what somebody asks her to do. And look where she is set to place her feet...THE PLACE she had ‘NEVER’ wanted to go! Would you believe me if I say “I still saw the happiness in her eyes”...

A bit of our conversation while I got to know that she would be moving to this place soon...

Me: ...
She: ...
Me: “Heya, but this is the very place you never wanted to go to isn’t it?”
She: Well, yep.
Me: Uh, then how come?
She: Well, because this is the BEST!
Me: You mean this place is the best?!! :O
She: No girl, I mean, the ‘happening’ is the best as I am going to the RIGHT family with the RIGHT people around. It’s the BEST for me. The rest will all fall in the RIGHT place, I know. < a ‘smile’>
Me: WOW!!! Surprising I must say...<with an ‘amazed smile’>
She: Totally! I was surprised myself. Only until I realized why I wasn’t SAD...”Lovely people can make everything around seem lovely.” Know something, now I wish to see the ‘beauties of this place’ which I otherwise failed to witness.
Me (Laughing): Sweets, I still remember how you had ‘not just once’ said “I will NEVER stay there”...
She (Laughing): Never say ‘Never’!
:)
Me: Yea, never say ‘Never’! :)


Moral of the story:
Run behind something you really want, with all the passion and this universe will seem to help you get it.
But, never run away from something you don’t want...’It’ will run faster and make sure it holds onto you even before you realize.
