Short Little Shorties 3

Girl on the Moon

Overthinkers are a rare breed of people. One little odd thing they said in their teens can keep playing in their minds throughout their adult life.

She was no different. That last argument she had with her first boyfriend kept haunting all her relationships. The big rock of 'what-if' kept pulling her down. And that doubt eventually led to a break-up. 

She had 20 of them so far. Enough for anyone to lose hope.

But as they say, fate always has other plans.

21st walked into her life so casually, she didn't even notice him at first. While she was pondering over her blank canvas, he started drawing lines on it. And slowly, he had his picture engraved in her mind. 

For the first time in her life, the picture was so clear that she didn't need the filter of what-if.

After 20 failed relationships, she had finally found the one where she was comfortable to let off all the past baggage. She was once again a girl in her teens.

A girl on the moon who didn't have any gravity holding her down.
