I never imagined myself writing this about you, someone whom I always hated. You are someone who don't let me stand firm, makes me feel less, who always overtakes my decision and makes me recall that running away is something better than facing it. You make me stay awake till 4 AM, shout on others, and end up being unsatisfied. Sometimes I have the feel of a thousand rubber bands tied around my neck.
You have made an integral part of my life by reflecting on every work I do and every decision I make. You made me so much dependent that your absence makes me take nothing seriously. Being with you is like standing on a cliff with one leg, and the reason for losing my control over things and myself, and sometimes make me take inapplicable decisions knowingly.
You are the reason for my tension, shivering hands, and sweaty palms before my exams. And you are the reason which backs me off from doing something or taking the risk, which made me tired of missing a lot of happiness in every stage of life.
Thank you to my friend QUARANTINE who made me realize that everything in life happens according to our time, our clock, and at their own pace. And don't let anyone rush you with their timelines. Now we have come to that point in life where thinking about or feeling YOUR presence makes our work worse.
This message is goodbye, to my "PRESSURE", and thank you for making me discern that being with or holding you every second makes nothing better; instead, it makes me weak and mentally unstable.
It's time to breathe and feel every inch of my life.
