Hi guys!
I am so happy getting connected with you after such a long period of time. Here to share great news with you all. Stay tuned!
Remember, recently I talked about my friend Aashna who was going through a rough patch in her life. In case you have missed the article kindly look back to “Choice or Option” (@sahlucid.dreamer/choice-or-option)
I was pretty occupied with my work these days and it was becoming even harder for me to catch up with my friends for some heart talk. So, yesterday she shared this image and suddenly I stopped all my work and went to her place.

I reached her place and asked her directly “when, where and how? Tell me in detail”
All she said was “Babe, with the right person at the right place and right time everything falls into place”. Of Course I was not letting her move away so quickly with just a Shahrukh Khan (Bollywood superstar) dialogue. Lol. 😂
I said “That’s OK. I know that. I mean all that has happened in the recent past- your breakup, post breakup trauma you have been through because of that guy. How did you recoup? Definitely, I am so happy for you but all I am seeking is a lesson to move on from failures and cherish happy moments.”
After telling her complete story on how she met this guy, who now she is engaged with, she said- “I agree that the decision to separate from the man who I wanted to marry was mine, but you know, when the decisions are yours, they are even more hard hitting. There is a time of darkness, self doubt, mental isolation and complete rejection. Everything falls apart, every single human on this planet looks at you like you have wronged someone. And if you choose to keep quiet and not justify your POV, that’s even harder.” She paused to take a deep breath.
She then started again by saying “I am thankful to god that at that vulnerable moment of my life I had my family, you and Vishal(the man whose proposal she accepted) by my side. He held me when I was nothing but like sand, easy to slip from hand. He made me realize how important it was for me accept the decision I had made even before someone else accepts it. In the period of self doubt he showed a lot of confidence in me.”
She continued by saying “I would advise all the young people out there who have just started to like someone, that, be with someone who is all clumsy around you, who isn’t conscious of what kind of image you will have in your mind of him, because that way he is not only being comfortable but also making you comfortable around him. Be with the one, who celebrates your failure the same way he does with his success. That’s always going to boost your confidence. The one who respects you like a mother, trusts you like a father and cherishes you like a best friend.”
I was in a state of tranquility, it made me feel like I haven’t heard of something like this for ages. She stopped which shook me and that's when I suddenly came out of my bubble. I asked “And how do you know that s/he is the right one?” completely mesmerized. Honestly, I wanted to have the coolest advice from my ‘madly in love’ friend.
On this she said “When that man/woman treats you like a Choice and not an option.”❤️
With that one statement I was all heart for my friend and her fiancé. And along with that happy smile I came back home. Writing this down, I wait for my Mr. Right to meet me one fine day and help me in being a better version of myself.
Do let me know in the comment section guys if you want to know their story. Thank you so much for your time.
