Ever since I started watching One Tree Hill, my perception of life has changed. Mainly due to the character Peyton Sawyer.
Peyton Sawyer is one sad character since she loses every single person in her life. And she comes up with a phrase saying "PEOPLE ALWAYS LEAVE".
It didn't make much sense to me back then, but it definitely caught my attention. This thought always lingered in my mind. That what if my life would end up like Peyton Sawyer's too. I was never mindful of people being in my life or them walking away. Because till then nobody left me.
But slowly that silent phrase started it's action in my life. The only thing that I was ever fearful of started happening. People started leaving. It hurt deep but at the same time it filled me up with strenght to accept the loss and I started loving that phrase more than ever.
I felt that sentence has a power and that it is really true. Yes, people always leave!
Since then, I started drawing and scribbling the same everywhere. On the last page of one of my notebooks I had written " People always leave " five times. One of my friends wrote next to each line "not everyone". I was mad at him for doing so. Because for me 'people' meant 'everybody'. Every single person I knew. What did he mean by " not everyone"? When I questioned him the same, he said 'people don't always leave, circumstances make them leave'
Whatever!
Circumstances or not, but people do leave. That's the conclusion. Who cares what makes them leave. Yes maybe my behavior chased them away or they didn't want to be a part of my life anymore. Maybe suddenly I seem so boring to them or they have found better people to replace me with. Or sometimes they think they are a burden to me and don't want to hurt me anymore. Whatever the circumstances or reasons or excuses are, people do leave.
Especially the ones that promised to stay!
PEOPLE ALWAYS LEAVE!
