That tag line, always makes me redirect my thought process to 'moving-on'. Isn't that something we all do? And when we can't, we have a zillion friends who pop out from nowhere, prodding us to. To move on, that's what we are all expected to do. See something sad? Move on. See something good? Enough of the show, move on.
That phrase is so stuck up and so necessary, that all my life, I've told myself to move on, yet found myself hung on to past memories in an inexplicable fashion. I tell everybody, I've moved on, but there I am, trying to win the game, to prove it, when I haven't. I have pretended to move on so much, that I am unable to move on from the things I wish to.
Dad gets a transfer. Have to leave a place with people you've grown up with, played with, fought with, cried with, shared with. But it's okay. Move on.
Come to a new place. Make new friends . Schools over? Move on.
New college. New friends. Some old. Still move on to fresher memories in the make.
Moving on. Is it a part of human nature? Or a 'nature' forced upon. What if, this once. I don't want to move on. I want to live in the past memories. Then?
This moving on that we do. When does it stop? When can we not 'keep-walking'? Is it the sole purpose of our life? To find newer retentions?
Yeah you and I both know the damned protocol. Just Keep Walking.

good point... we spend all our lives moving on, from something or the other. does it ever stop? don't think it will... i guess thats how life is meant to be. now if we choose not to move on, who loses out?
I guess we all spend too much time trying to move on 'cause none of us want to feel stagnated.
But sometimes everyone likes to stay back and feel the pain. To realise what has happened and why it has happened.
But ultimately, we do move on.
hey.. very good write up!
indeed, every one of us, try to console ourselves saying this very phrase "move on".. bt still- deep down- we know tht we can never just "move on"..
bt unless u move on- u wont be able to grow better.. so we "move on" with the experiences of the past- to build the future..
good post, once again!
