Realisation of the day:
In life, the two are NOT interchangeable.

Getting used to something is probably the best way of killing a bit of ourselves.

There is a difference between accepting something and getting used to something.

Accepting it is acknowledging its presence and maybe even permanence, even if it may be something we don't like or want. It may be a circumstance or a decision. It keeps pricking and prodding at us, but we live with it.

Getting used to something is like closing our eyes and making ourselves believe it's not there or will not continue to be there for long or, worse, we cannot do anything about it. And gradually the bit of us that would have gotten pricked and prodded does not feel the pricks and prods anymore. That bit of us goes numb and dies.

I don't have year-end regrets or new year plans. Largely because year-ends and new years mean nothing really, just a new calendar. But if there was one thought with which I chucked out the last calendar, it's with the realisation that I am bad at getting used to things.

And I like it that way.
