This is epiphany - Time frames of life.

Nobody is really able to put the past behind them, but that does not mean that they cannot move on to be happy, to love someone else. Things start because of possibilities, but as these possibilities are not explored, they diminish, and gets only smaller with each day, till the day we decide to give up.

There are different things that we want at different time frames of our lives. But this does not translate into the willingness to do/give up what is necessary to pursue the things we want for ourselves. Across the time frame, perspectives might change. We might one day find ourselves willing to give up what we did not want to give up previously. But well, time frames works for both parties. You moving into the next time frame might just mean that the other moves out of his, and just like this, you two might want the same thing, but just don't happen in the same time frame. And that's when we think about why things don't work, why life sucks the way it is.

But it doesn't. Things just happened at different times. Cliché as it sounds, it takes two hands to clap. Sometimes, at a certain point of time, what we are willing to give up, the other is not. But when the other is willing to, we might not be willing to any more. And that's life. The difference in time.

I learnt all these from a friend, who fancies a friend for so long but never got to it until she got attached, only to find that she was interested in him in the same time period, but with each day, the possibilities diminish and eventually chooses to give up.

But all these only makes me think that these will all be so much easier should there be no social stigma, no miscommunication.
