“Nowadays your ancestors don’t really matter, you are just YOU”…this is what you will often hear majority say. A lot of mismatch follows the truth of the statement. Come to think of it, somehow it could have some truths. The truth depends on how critical you are at looking at it, otherwise it could as well be mere falsehood wrapped in a text.
Time and again we have witnessed or experienced some sort of mismatch in our life.When we talk of mismatch,emphasis are in incompatibility, incongruence, dissimilarity or even conflicting personality,interests, tastes,and even our perceptions about different things. This takes me aback about how two people meet when then they are completely strangers to one another,become friends,but fail to be best friends, simply because of the mismatch that exists between them.
Figure out this with me and share in my line of thought.Having met these sultry lady or that macho guy that sweeps your feet away.At some point you have the feeling that they are the one that life has been hiding away from you and time has come and have been brought to your light. Both of you share in the illusion that ‘ i think you are the one’..you are excited to your bones, little do you know what awaits you a mile away from your utopia moulded convictions.
Sooner than you thought, things start working the way you had anticipated, after some pretty good time, you start experiencing ‘expectations choke’..things begin taking another course.The number of calls that they used to do becomes fewer and fewer, the urge to text continues to diminish,they no longer ask you for night outs, visits to places.This is a whistle-blower of what could be befalling you soon.
Change is inevitable like they say, but drastic u-turn of things do not only amount to the usual change. More is to be interpreted from that, this feels to me that things ain’t right any longer and the earlier the realization, the safer you could be from being deeply hurt.
A times we are led to think that they could be giving us space,but much comes from what we call ‘space’.This where the whole thing about being completely opposite of what we thought comes in.Truth always sets us free, but on the other hand, it is harsh and doesn’t asks for one’s opinion.It hits hard, squarely on our faces, that we cannot dare deny it.
At first when settled our eyes on them, our mind and heart were fast to judge and believe that they really had come into our lives to bring a difference.Yes, that’s true they did that,but the difference comes out to be profound.We gave everything,they gave nothing in return, a good turn deserves another,you will agree with me when i say that unappreciated
act of willingness is equal to rejection.
It therefore comes a time that, one has to take some space in the ‘watching bay’ not that you are afraid of the adverse results that you might get from it, but at least to buy time to see whether its workable and whether there could some similarity after all. That’s why i say that mismatch and mediocrity are step brothers born of ignorance.
