NIT NIT: BREAK-UPS AND MOVING ON

Some Breakups are sudden, some happen after a lot of drama and build-up. Some breakups are inevitable. Some are unexpected. Those breakups are the hardest to cope with. Because they hardly make any sense at all. Or maybe they don’t make any sense only for you because you were unable to acknowledge the red flags throughout. But what do you do when such a breakup storms your life? How do you pick up the broken pieces of your heart and move on? Jasleen Royal’s soothing heartbreak anthem “Nit Nit” speaks exactly about this. It is the tight hug to your heartbroken self after you have showered everything to the person you loved but he exits your life leaving you stranded.

//Tera Gaya Kuch Ni

Mera Reha Kuch Ni

Gallan Karan Sach Ni//

There are days when you find yourself absolutely restless after you get dumped. It is very natural for anyone to not be reasonable and feeling like a victim. You stay in your room lying on your bed all day while your pillow witnesses all the tears you shed remembering of all days you spent together, all the things you did selflessly for the person, all the nights you spent giving the person company over phone though you have an appointment early next morning. No one knows the tiny sacrifices you had to make on a daily basis to keep the relationship floating and suddenly all those are meaningless. You play all the moments you shared, all the fights you had, in your mind like a movie all day and you pause to dissect and find your faults. But as you over-introspect you find nothing to be your mistake or someday you feel like everything was your own mistake and you go one cursing yourself in guilt for being toxic. But then what not have you done to redeem yourself? Still you were abandoned and now you don’t know how to convince the person back in your life.

//Changa Banda Bolan Ch Aukha Das ki AeKaun si Galat Te Kaun hi Sahi Ae//

After blaming your ex for long, believing that it was your mistake to blindly trust someone unworthy of your love, you slowly come to realize that sometimes circumstances don’t favor and not everyone prioritizes their lover over everything else and that’s completely fine. Maybe sometimes they grow apart. Or they might outgrow the other person and their paths don’t align anymore. With this realization you start forgiving the person you hated for leaving you and wish the best for them. You remove them from your wallpaper, you stop stalking their social media every hour, you stop waiting for them to text you and you slowly start finding new objects, pets, interests to bond with. You start realizing that love was always self-absorbed and accept that none of you were right or wrong with your choices in the relationship as Jasleen end the song on an optimistic note: Khush Reh je tu main vi Ek din ho jaana ae yaara. Yes, we will collect our crumbling world again and we will move on.
