She:
|
Do you ever regret meeting me?
|
|
He:
|
What?
|
|
She:
|
What, What? I asked you something
|
|
He:
|
And why do you need to ask such
weird questions?
|
|
She:
|
Because I know as much weird they
are, you will answer me. So tell me, do you ever regret meeting me?
|
|
He:
|
No. Of course not. Why would I
regret meeting you? But I do regret not meeting you earlier than we have met.
|
|
She:
|
Sure?
|
|
He:
|
Yes, I regret that. Wait, do you
regret meeting me?
|
|
She:
|
Yes
|
|
He:
|
Yes? You regret meeting me? Wow. I didn’t know
that
|
|
She:
|
I do. Sometimes though
|
|
He:
|
And may I know the reason?
|
|
She:
|
Well, because I don’t learn. I am
aware that I am committing the same mistake again and yet I don’t stop myself
from committing it. Or may be I can't stop
myself from committing it.
|
|
He:
|
Wait, knowing me is a mistake?
|
|
She:
|
No. I am talking about the habit
that I have. That habit that probably even you have
|
|
He:
|
What habit?
|
|
She:
|
This
vicious habit of making somebody our emotional anchor. Not realizing that
this habit is precisely what sinks us like quicksand

DeleteHey jyotsna!
ReplyDeleteThis conversation really suits me a lot. Though, i do not outrightly express the dependancy part to people. Liked the way you related it to quicksand.
Hi Sarah. Oh, that's me too. And yes, even I do not 'prefer' letting people know that I am dependent on them. Thank you dear :)
DeleteThat can be emotionally draining! And its so difficult to break free from such people who sap ur energy!! Quicksand indeed!
ReplyDeleteDon't know if they sap energy, but it sure is difficult to leave them !
DeleteDepending upon anyone, absolutely anyone, for your emotional health can be really dangerous.
ReplyDelete*Shantala @ ShanayaTales*
Oh yes, it definitely can be dangerous.
Deletewhat a thoughtful post. And it's so difficult not to make the one we love our emotional anchor.
ReplyDeleteThank you Rajlakshmi. Yes, inadvertently we make the people we love our emotional anchor.
DeleteAmazing one....I totally agree. It's this emotional thing always....
ReplyDeleteBut that is how relationships grow ....right ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks babes. Glad you liked this one. Well, but emotional dependency can be dangerous, dont you think so ?? It can lead you feeling lost when the person you have come to depend on, is no longer available... And that is not a very good place to be in !!
