FALLING OUT, AND WHY IT IS REMARKABLE.....

My own humble estimate tells me that numerous articles have already been written, and continue to be written about the concept of falling in love. When it comes however, to its uninviting opposite which is falling out, the same estimate cannot be told.

Perhaps, the foremost reason why most of us are inclined to talk or write about falling in love is because it denotes something positive, inspiring and stirring, as opposed to its contrary which denotes something negative and unpleasant. In the first place, why still talk about something that is already over and done with?

But perhaps, the reason why people do not want to talk about it anymore is that it reminds them of a dreary past, most particularly those events which resulted to them falling out of love.

Like the falling of leaves, to fall in love is just as natural, and so does falling out of it. And hence, the phenomenon of the latter kind deserves to be talked and written about as well.

Not that it is a taboo, but falling in love is a far more interesting topic, for to chat about it is like going through a story with a wonderful ending, rainbows and all.

And what about, yes, falling out of love? It is the same as going through a story, of which the ending on the other hand is…..not as colorful.

Falling in love is remarkable, and falling out is just as remarkable!

There are a hundred reasons why we fall out. In other words, it does not happen overnight. You do not simply wake up one day with your feelings already deep into the abyss.

We take giant leaps in falling in love. But in falling out, we take baby steps, and this signifies that it is a gradual process. And in between such steps are hopes for reconciliation and a second chance, and more importantly are hopes that your feelings and affection will rise up once again, like an ancient Roman ascending from the catacomb.

However, there are things that are not simply meant to be.

And why is falling out remarkable? Yes it is, because the love that you once touted as the greatest is no longer great to any further extent. The love that you once peddled as immense and electrifying has flatlined irreversibly. Who would have thought that your undying feelings have already faded into oblivion?

Is it not remarkable that something has turned into nothing? Initially there was something, and now there is none!

Indeed, falling out of love is extraordinary. How remarkable that the feelings you always thought will stay forever are now a thing of the past.

And how remarkable, that you have let go of a person you once thought you will keep forever.
