REALITY OF BEING LEFT BEHIND

INTRODUCTION

Have you ever experience being left behind? In our life, we may experience such multiple times. Being left behind is very significant to every being and it varies from one person to another. Some of us are left behind in our studies, some in careers and some were left behind by significant someone. Being left behind is the most difficult we may experience in life and becuase of such, a person may view the reality of life.

Late this October 2023, I experience what it feels to be left behind by significant someone. It was the hardest feeling I ever felt similar to the feeling when I left my family to serve for a religious organization. Earlier this year, we have been discussing with my significant someone about her time to serve with the same organization. If she chooses to serve then we will not be communcating daily for 18 Months, and we will be physically away for that duration. Months pass, the desicion was made and she chose to serve than to stay. At first, I was excited for her because she will grow on the field on every aspect of her life nevertheless, I feel unhappy and all the colors of my life turned dark and gray

IN VIEW OF THE REALITY

The day she reported is the day that shattered by heart. I thought I prepared myself for the duration that she will be away but I realized that once a person in view of the reality, its a different story. 18 months is not a short period of time and also not that long however, such is painful especially if there is no communication. Earlier in our relationship, we developed a bond that increased our deep affection with each other. We had fun, we had misunderstandings, we had dinner together and we had quality time together but at present time those experiences temporarily must be put into hold until the day she will return. Reality is painful but it can be a life changing experience if we choose to face it. Though there are times we miss the moments we had yet if we choose to face the time where we are now then it will change us gradually. Moments like this may come but overtime it will go and all we need to do is to move forward, focus on the bright side and merely focus on what you will become when the person left you comes back. In reality, they always come back therefore, when they come back, who are you at that point in time?
