#20 Revenge

Re-engineered with vengeance

-Akila Sridhar

If you rationalise the feelings, you give spontaneous mistakes a chance to leave the room.

Words once said and doubts once emerged, rarely fade away.

Negative feelings and insecurity coupled with sudden rise in self esteem, causes emotions like revenge to appear.

Revenge isn’t all that simple like the TLC shows make it seem -it’s just not that person you are getting your revenge from who has to live with what you have in mind but it’s you who has to put up with you were capable enough to do and spoil in a jiffy- just because you weren’t brave enough to live with what the other person had done. Just because you were in love with a coward, it doesn’t mean you turn into one.

Step 1- you’re the End- goal

Whose approval are you looking for to realise that your ex was a lying piece of crap? Isn’t it enough that you know it? Well what did you do when you realised you loved him? Didn’t you just know it or did you need the opinion of the million social media friends of yours who you last had contact with when you accepted their friend request.

You just knew it. So now you should know when to let it go and move on. Doesn’t mean you forgive him or advocate for his actions, but it’s only making it more clear that you’re choosing your happiness and sanity over him. Punishment enough for him, don’t let him win your attention or your time. Don’t give him what he wanted, give it to yourself. Cheer up.

Step 2- Prioritise people

Likewise, prioritise your opinion in the highway stand in cases the opinion of your sane BestFriend who adults your life better than hers and will continue to do so.

Thereby you would have established two things- you have made a soul sister for life and

Number two- you will continue to love yourself for choosing to walk away than making things worse than before when you were just trying to make a point.

Step 3- Be a proud victim, leave self pity

I’m just saying its okay to be a victim, something to wear proudly even. As long as you weren’t the one you errored, it’s all rosy. It shows you cared and you know your cards. It made it clear what you’re ready to bring to the table and that’s something to smile about. It just proved you have a heart and aren’t ready to live in solitude for you’ve not sinned.

Life tip: Staying in solitude doesn’t prevent you from getting hurt but it’s legally advised or forced upon Only when you’ve hurt someone real bad and should be given time to repent, and not the other way around- Many fail to remember that.

Step 4- Step out of your imaginary world

You my friend, aren’t living in a tv show so all your actions will have a consequence unseen by you and you can not walk out of situation unscathed by love or scars.

You are a heroine and me the friend who always pops up to help and doesn’t fit into the duets.

You aren’t a heroine out of a show which is done in three hours but a Heroine living maybe In a movie or having a line of her own shows called -destiny which has a continuing contract longer than sex in the city or CSI with 33 seasons.

Step back into normalcy and don’t break routines. It’s alright to be picky about your chair and hair. It’s completely Normal and at the same time, extraordinary.

Step 5- Be magnificent

Make your own throne and bed but not by pushing others off of theirs.

Learn how to choose the right seat near the window for air and free timely exit.
