Make Room For Life

I've been whining about my love life (or the lack of it) for ages. I bet my friends are so tired of listening to me.

Last night, I was with my let's-hang-out-because-of-coding-day buddy and he gave me an insight. He told me that in order for someone new to come in, I will need to let go of the old one(s). If I want to bring in something new, I will need to make room for it. I must have looked blank because he went on to elaborate. He said, just like if I want to buy new clothes, I will need to make space for them in my closet and in order to do that, I will need to give away those that I no longer use. I need to move old stuff out of my house to accommodate new ones.

How profound is that? That never occurred to me! I thought I can stuff everything in boxes, drawers, or jars stowed away in nooks and crannies for future reference. So naturally, I argued my case but he was firm about it. He told me that it is a MUST or I will never succeed in finding the one that I needed.

I MUST make room for life for it to happen.
