The Soulful Atom

For days those hair bands were lying in the drawer.. I just kept holding on to them perhaps hoping that i would use or need them some day.. But two days back the fact suddenly struck me that i haven't used them since last 5 years or so! So promptly i picked them up and gave them away to some little kids who could actually use them!
I liked them and have used them earlier in life so some part of me thinks or perhaps hopes that i would use them again meaning i would go back to being my old self.. But that is not quite possible now owing to the time passed and all the experiences which make people different persons! How many of us hold on to old things sometimes just as a memory but other times hoping that we would use those things? They just lay around gathering dust and creating all sorts of negative energy..
Not only things but at times even some relationships.. specially the dysfunctional types.. Sometimes some grudges that we hold against people, or they hold against us.. Some times the things which are left unsaid undone.. These too gather dust.. We tend to just put things off, try to hold on to something which used to work at a certain point in time, but at times after a few years those things stop being the same way. We never stop to think why things are not working, we tend to ignore it and still hold on.. It gathers dust and creates all sorts of negative energies..
Its time to clear out the clutter! And that's exactly what i did. Not only cleaned out some more cupboards and drawers, but also tried to clear out some long standing grudges and dished out apologies.. Not sure if they will be accepted or not.. But i did my part.. At times even if you are not at fault it helps to apologize to erase out the grudge others have against you.. To ease their hurt can also help you de-clutter your own life! :)
So while i am at it, if anyone out there has anything against me please feel free to call up and give me a piece of your mind! It would help me as much as it would help you.. Thanks! :)
