I Am Not Pregnant, I Don't Even Like Soup, I Don't Even Like Mashed Potatoes - I Don't Even Like Watermelons, (scoffs)... What !
Okay, a week before last week I heard the baby in my stomach ask for money !? Okay fine, a week before last month I heard the people grumbling about the problems of the child who ran away from home !? Okay fine, I keep hearing that MY child is driving 9,000 steps in the middle of NO - where hoping they end up somewhere !? WHO keeps doing this thing, who keeps asking me for things - I don't have a CLUE about, who keeps doing that !?

The Ghost in the Room
Love may end without a result, but it cannot end without closure. We can all accept that a relationship might not last. Time changes, people change, and feelings fade; these are not faults, they are just life. What makes it hard to move on is never the separation itself, but the lack of clarity.

In life lets say we had "900" friends !? After highschool we had "700" friends !? During college - we now have "500" hundred friends !? We get married we have "200" hundred friends.. What was the "Mathematical equation", the problem to be solved !? I have learnt the most horrifying thing in LIFE - No person knows when to END... NO person knows when to NOT exist !?

In life, when your blessings are abundant enough, many negative people and situations will automatically leave you. It is not that you actively cut them off, but rather that your energies no longer align.
