The Wallet Theory

Wallets are a lot like girls.. You really have to take good care of them because if you don't, something might just happen..
"I know what he meant. I just lost a wallet, and I just lost a girl. You know, it's exactly the same thing.

One day, when you just realize it's gone, you try to look for it everywhere.. even going back to the places where you could have lost it.You think, and you think hard.. only to come upon a grim realization: it's really gone.Of course, you can hold on to some hope. After all, there have been some very, very lucky (blessed?) people who get it back.

Perhaps you could become one of those people. You sit home and you hope that that someone would call and that you would get it back. But then, as time passes, you realize that it's really gone and you know that it's time to let go.

The first few days, you turn to your friends for support. Some tell you you'll be ok, some tell you that it was your fault and that you should have been more careful. Some would tell you about their own experiences.They give you all sorts of advice, none of which you haven't heard before.

You then go out to find a new wallet, only to realize that you don't really want a new one. You want the old one that you lost. No, you don't want all these better-looking wallets. You want yours because you know how comfortable it was and how important it was because of all the cards, pictures and other stuff in it.

You go out and carry on without a wallet by keeping your money in your pocket instead. You throw away stuffs that you would have held on to, if you had your old wallet.
And then, finally, you find a new wallet you like and you start to settle in.You start filling your new wallet, little by little. It still doesn't feel as comfortable as the old one but it's getting there.Then you start putting in cards and pictures and other important stuff in the wallet. Soon enough, there is as much stuff in your new wallet as the old one.

And then, after some time, you feel as comfortable with your new wallet.And then you realize that you've almost forgotten you ever had your old wallet. Sure, you still remember most of the stuff you lost in that wallet. But then again, you don't remember the feeling of hurt that you felt when you lost it.That's because that wallet you lost is no longer your wallet.

You're no longer holding on. This new wallet you're holding has all the important cards, pictures and stuff that you need. This is your wallet. And this time, you tell yourself..
"I'm never losing this one"

ripped this off somewhere. i felt it made alot of sense. the ending may signify a beginning of something better. think of this story when u're feeling heartbroken.i know when u're in a midst of heartache nothing goes into your ear. but time will heal all wound. it really will.

no one's nursing a heartache or anything, just a really good story i came across.
