Separation and other musings

How does one deal with moving away? No I'm not talking about moving on. The whole deal of going away,leaving familiar land,smells,faces,habits and the so called 'routine'.

Well I have been going through this for some time now, to be  precise last 2 months. To go back and explain,yes,finally it is happening. There was that traveller's itch in me which is satisfied. I want that change and it is a happy change. A change of place, life and again the routine. I am no longer alone. I have  a wonderful partner,a great place to look forward to and the joy of togetherness that i longed for. Not to mention family life, a home and the security of settling down. And this is what I have been and I'm waiting for.

But right now I'm dealing with transition period.and in a word it is 'mixed feelings' .Yes if you have noticed the pun, thats how I feel ;). I am not one for good byes because I really believe world is a small place. I will not go into marketing telecommunications and internet and the budding technology available which makes even thoughts,habits and future of your friends across miles available right there to you ! So we are connected. Good! And again I'm secure about that part.

So what's eating gilbert grape? Actually it is one of those feelings which can't be pinpointed right now. I just don't know how much of the missing will be post me leaving. There is the lost feeling of 'wish time could stand' but I don't really want that. There is a tiny regret feeling of 'wish I could have seen B'lore better in the last 4 years' but my positive side tells me, a traveller leaves some place undiscovered so that you come back . Brilliant thought.

So should I resign myself to 'don't worry,chill and enjoy the moment'? Yes that's what I'll do. I wouldn't trade this mixed feelings for anything else. Life is short and let us just live for the moment. :)
