The Afterlife of Relationships: A Theory (Part-I)

We, as humans, may not have a guaranteed afterlife, but relationships do - once they are outdated, they live in a much better form within us.

In last few years of my life, I've taken decisions rather impulsively and logically than heartily. Because waiting for my inner self to come up with ideas hadn't been delivering much, I took a quick glance at what I lacked and leaped forward. It has indeed paid off.

While anxiety comes and goes - it can be related to work or career in general or about not being able to achieve a certain goal you have set for yourself - changes in self stay for longer. The funny part is that this happens to everyone. So new friendships or conflicts may just be because of those changes at both ends. Because inside, whether people notice or not, whether they admit or not, everyone is harmless and friendly, longing for togetherness.

Phases of life and changes

A person, let's say, meets another person who is at the time dealing with an unwanted state of being. The former, let's call this person X, may happen to provide an unexplainable or unquantifiable comfort to the latter, let's call this person Y. Their relationship may thrive but not necessarily because of what they may each have to offer to each other in absence of extraordinary situations but simply because of the exchange of ideas during that very situation.

Perhaps this is why relationships live like human beings, maybe even like dogs.

Sadness is a state of mind, I reckon. Just like happiness. On days when you don't want to get out of bed at all, reading good things about a good person may just rescue you.

Like time and space keep progressing, X and Y may never reevaluate their situations and how they're both sealing with them, but within us live our relationships. We, as humans, may not have a guaranteed afterlife, but relationships surely do - once they are outdated, they live in a much better way within us than without.

We are all Xs and Ys, loving each other as per our own needs and desires, trusting each other for the situations yet to come and breaking each other like atoms, exploding and imploding, throwing god knows what back into the universe.
