I have lived 4 years of my undergraduate life in hostels. Then I moved to the USA, where I have been living for over six years. But, I have missed something all this time that was brought to my attention recently.
You may have heard a million quotes about change and how we must embrace it and grow. But, really the tougher changes like living so far away from mom and dad or getting dumped by a girl puts us in a situation where, we want to replace or put someone in that position so that we can continue to reap the benefits of that relationship. Sounds very selfish but it is the truth. I have been driven by such urges at several points in my life.
I guess the right thing to do when I find myself saying "Oh my childhood had this" or "I wish she / I had never broken up" is to remind myself that nothing can ever equal what we experienced with our mom, dad or exes but we sure as hell will find newer experiences with a lot of other nice people.
No more "Good things have end sometimes for better things to take their place" crap.
