You know 'Ted Mosby' from 'How I met your mother' series? (Um, well, who doesn't). He reminds me so much of myself. (I bet there are quite a few of you, thinking the same). Okay, not totally..but, um.. in some ways? Yes. Those red boots of his? I wouldn't even think about them, ever! But, yeah I do like beatles boots.. now that's a different story altogether :) I believe in destiny, soul mate, finding "The one" someday, and I am usually as optimistic as Ted is. Usually.
Few years ago, I had said to a girl.. "If you are ready to give up on us then this here.. this isn't love. It is something, entirely different." and a couple of years later, I was surprised to see Ted utter these lines, in one of the episodes -
"If you’re looking for the word that means caring about someone beyond all rationality and wanting them to have everything they want, no matter how much it destroys you, it’s love, and when you love someone, you just, you don’t stop, ever. Even when people roll their eyes or call you crazy. Even then. Especially then. You just… you don’t give up! Because if I could give up. if I could just, you know, take the whole world’s advice and move on and find someone else, that wouldn’t be love. That would be, that would be some other disposable thing that is not worth fighting for."
Well, in my case, my "Robin" has yet again proved that this isn't love. She gave up. She has her own reasons. Um, I have been hung up on this girl for well over 6 years now. (Mostly, on and off) But, never really could move on. May be I just did not want to move on - The universe has kept showing me these signs all along.. I just.. couldn't! But, I am willing to now.. I have to! Why now you ask?!
Because like Ted once said "Sometimes things have to fall apart to make way for better things" :)
