We have all had a pair of shoes that goes with every outfit. The size, the color, the heels, the design- everything makes it a perfect fit. When you bought them you did not know they will stay with you for such a long time. All you knew was, they are neither expensive nor cheap and they aren’t that bad after all. Gradually you realized that these are the shoes for you. This one pair, that is always there no matter what. So you convince yourself that you cannot find a better pair.
Just like that life sometimes blesses you with that one person who will always be there for you. You would not know this when you first meet them and it takes a really long time to realize how important that person has become. Suddenly you become so dependent on that person, just like that pair of shoes. Whenever you buy a new dress you just know those shoes will match. Similarly, you always know that that person is there for you. Sometimes you tend to take them for granted and other times you know that the only person you need is them.
But sooner or later that shoes get worn out. May be one of the accessories went missing, or the heels broke, or may be someone borrowed it, someone who did not fit in the shoe, and returned them back all torn up. And so does this happen, with that precious pearl of your life, your support, your strength. You know it is time to get rid of the shoes. They are no more adding value, in fact they are making you look ugly. But your heart never accepts this fact and it won’t let you throw them away. So you still go around wearing a broken pair of shoes, confident about how you are looking, just because once they made you look the most beautiful.
Finally a time comes when you start noticing that the life of the shoe has come to an end. It is time to replace them. So you decide to get rid of them and throw them away with a very heavy heart. And the same way, you need to let go off that person. Sure that person was very important to you, sure you thought nothing can change that. But just like shoes, sometimes relations also break. The sooner you accept this, the sooner you will find that new pair. It is not like you cannot live without them. You might have to wear a mismatch for some time, but eventually you will find that perfect fit again. It wasn’t your fault that the heel broke or that someone else was a misfit. But next time when you find that perfect fit, make sure you take care of them. Keep them close to your heart…
