As with everything in life, the novelty of anything new wears off. We start seeing the things we enjoyed as chores. I do realize this happens with everyone and for every little thing, a new job starting with feeling proud and worth something to seeing it as a something we just do to earn a living. Why the change is perspective? Only because once we have anything included as part of our day to day life, you tend to take it for granted.
A new relationship, the excitement in meeting the person every time, the urge to tell him/her everything about yourself. The feeling of not being able to stop talking and not wanting to stop talking open up and lay it all on the table, watch them react to your good bits, the bad bits and then leash out the ugly's. Moving from emotional closeness to physical intimacy and feeling insatiable and just drinking in the other person with a passion you admit you have never felt before. All this and more for the initial few months and then we settle in a rut to long comfortable silences, to life taking over when their calls/messages become something you dread, when you feel the need to escape when the intimacy and the person become part of your everyday life and your mind wander to think whats next. Why do we crave something so much that once we get that very thing in life and two seconds later you think is this it? I'm bored already!
The what's new era we live in has this concept so ingrained in all of us that its a compulsion to continuously prove to yourself and others around you that you are in fact doing something new, really? Who are we kidding after a point in life you do go through a been there and done that phase. Each one of us have wondered at one point or the other is this it? will there be nothing that will interest me in future. its a part of life embrace it and accept it. the last thing you need in life is to think any less of yourself for not doing anything new. its cliche but every day is a new page, you can fill it with something relevant, boring or remotely interesting, but try not to fill it with self loathing and a lack of self worth.
