Fall Is Beautiful!!!

Still not ready to welcome the cold nights so here is something that I wrote almost a year ago for the red and orange leaves falling down from the trees.

Autumn, for many people feels like the ending of something beautiful, an end of a story. But for me, it is the start of something more exquisite. For me it is a journey painful yet beautiful. Yes the tree is used to the leaves and they are the ones keeping it happy and fresh, but it is also necessary for those leaves to fall down so the tree can become more beautiful the next time. I don’t know why but the trees and leaves are like humans to me, like our relationships and every time that I see an autumn leaf falling down from the tree, somewhere I feel someone walked out of a human’s life. I feel like us humans are like the tree and its leaves. You are tree in your life but you are a leaf in someone else’s life. And so like that, there will come a time when you will be destined to fall down from that tree or someone you hold dear wil go away from your life. A tree you thought would never lose you, even if you are decolourized because the tree promised you eternity. A tree who you thought will carry your sins and mistakes on its chest like a battalion in the war. But no, it doesn’t work like that. Life doesn’t work like that. you never thought of what you would do if you fall from that tree. No human is perfect and people are bound to become strangers. People you thought would be your ride or die. Sadly, no one ever dies from breakups. And breakup of any kind. If you are a leaf and you know that you have fallen from a tree, more than once, you need to keep walking until you find that living on your own is not something that should be discouraged. Living on your own is better than living with people who don’t value you as much as they value others. standing up feels like the most difficult thing because always, your conscience ask you to save the relationship rather than saving your self esteem. But you must know that if you are cutting off someone and in the return you get tranquility like never before, go on and do it before it kills you. It will feel like fall, maybe at the end you are the only one standing and every leaf is fallen to the ground but remember that both you and the leaves will continue the journey and you both will find the lives that were meant for you. Never settle for something which causes you to suffer everyday. Being in a society where relationships are given the status of God, it gets very hard to cut ties with those hurt us constantly and having a mind that tricks you every time you think of ending ties with someone is the worst curse. But, if you finally do it, just know that there will be times you are going to regret it, times when you will think the WHAT IF and that is when you needs to be the strongest. One vulnerable moment and it all goes back to the way it was. Falling is painful but beautiful and important. So, if this autumn you were the tree shedding leaves from your life or you were the leaf that fell from the tree, do not worry because you have a long way ahead.
