A single word has triggered a storm today.
Many a time, a word, a casual reference opens the floodgates... but I successfully keep it shut. For one must move on. What exactly does 'move on' mean anyway?
Does it mean shutting down everything you feel and building another life on that very brick?
Does it mean hiding every single tear, for one has duties everyday that one must complete?
Does it mean swiping right and left in pursuit of the next relationship? And then looking at perfectly good profiles and not feeling a single spark.
Does it mean believing that all that I have felt, all that I have experienced with you, however virtual, meant nothing? Practicality shall win?
Does it mean living a full life, a busy one with continued pursuit of intelligence, wealth and meaning... and yet, when the day ends attempting to fill that void?
If the answer is yes, then I have definitely 'moved on'.

Good one !!! We all go through this state one way or the other for different reasons. Moving on in my opinion is to cherish the good moments of the past (gratitude) and accept the negative moments (Roses have thorns). Grow stronger by learning to smell the roses without letting the thorns hurt us as much as before. More times we get pricked, more the immunity.
