It's A No Deal

When do you say enough is enough? When do you decide to get up and leave? As much as we want to be that super fighter with a mean ‘never say die’ attitude and as much as we want to be that tough chick who kicks butt all the time, there are going to be instances when we are going to be tried, tested, and pushed to our limits. We all have our own boiling points. Some can take the heat pretty well, while some get out as soon as they see steam coming out. But sometimes even the strong ones who initially chose to stay get burned. No matter how resilient you are, things will take its toll on you at some point or another. You’ll get tired too, and the white flag will eventually have to be raised.

Making the decision to pack up one’s bags is the hardest thing to do, because there’s always that sense of unwavering hope in us (it’s supposed to be the one that keeps us going) that maybe just maybe things will eventually fall into the right place in their own time. It plays non-stop at the back of our minds that we start believing in it and postpone our happiness for it. But we eventually get exhausted from waiting for it to materialize. And then you discover that it’s not going to happen anytime soon. That’s when you start bringing out the bags and start packing. It’s when you suddenly know it’s not worth it to stay anymore; it’s when you believe you deserve better. Be it in career, love, or life in general, we all deserve no less than the best. It’s something that we never negotiate for.
