Rip off the bandaid

Don't laugh na it's called perspective jeez
So recently, my close-to-the-heart long thumb nail got stuck in the elevator and chipped off at the edge. I could've easily took a file and carefully shaped it around the cut, to avoid further wreckage of my beloved nail. Obviously, because turns out hurting myself is one of my hobbies, I clearly did not. Fast forward to two days later, the chipped nail had made its way to its death, and I still, did not do anything about it.


More often than not, things that you know love the most, end up hurting you a lot. You'd think it must be easy having so many people who love and cherish you, sometimes you may not see it, and when you do, it's hard ripping off that damn bandage. You need to let go of that thing that used to mean so much to you for so long. You've grown up together, and now you're growing apart. It sucks, but it's okay. You'll be stuck with  broken nail for a while, it'll definitely not match the others, but you know what? It'll grow back. A phase is over. Maybe they were only supposed to be there till you finished that phase. Maybe they played a role in your life. Maybe they were completely useless, maybe they made zero difference, maybe they lit up your room, or maybe they brought out the worst in you. 
You've grown now, and they might search for the caterpillar you used to be, but do not let that threaten the butterfly you are now.

It's hard, letting things go, but stretching them out, only makes the inevitable, worse. When the time is here, let the birds fly.
