It’s funny how things change. It is said that change is an inevitable
part of life. Totally agree. These changes aren’t so obvious and evident
instantly. It may all look the same but when you ponder and look back you
realize how far you’ve come.For example, two people start at point ‘A’ and as time
passes by they reach point ‘E’ in their journey together. When they look back
at the steps taken together and the years that have passed by, they notice the
changes. It’s not only about the change in environment and external
surroundings. But change in their equations, Change in their way of interacting
with each other. Or maybe a change in the way they feel about each other. You
can change in a million ways and still feel the same.
Of course change is important and inevitable at the same
time. We all know this. But I fail to realize the rationale behind change in
feelings for people around you. Especially the ones you called ‘special’. And the logic behind losing someone’s company
– a friend, best friend or special someone- doesn’t make sense. It’s like
trying to convince yourself to forget someone you loved and whose presence you
cherished. Of course you’ll be devastated. But at the same time it’s true that
you’ll get over it. Because Hey! everyone has the right to decide who stays and
who doesn’t. So probably the best way out of this mess is to wrap up the bundle
of memories, lock it inside your heart, wish the best for them and walk away.
Remember that it’s best for you and them too. It is a universal fact that if
something belongs to you and if it is meant for you, it will find its way back
no matter what happens.
In the past couple of months, staying away from home,
interacting with new and different people, I’ve learned a lot of things. Lessons that I wouldn’t have understood if I were at home being pampered with love,
warmth and care. Firstly, don’t take people around you for granted. They’re
there because they love you. Secondly, keep reminding them now and then that
you love them and that you appreciate their presence in your life. If
something random happens and you’re reminded of them, call them or maybe send a
text, it will bring a smile on their face and make their day. Thirdly, not
everyone loves in the same way as you do. Every person is different and so is
their way of expressing! Some might be able to say it, while others won’t. But they’ll
express through their little gestures that would scream out loud that they love
you. Don’t be too stupid to not notice!
And don’t expect everything to last forever. As bad as it
might sound but ‘forever’ is a myth created by people like you and me to make our hearts
feel secure. So instead of wishing for forever, let’s wish for ‘NOW’. Live in the present, Love people now, care for them now, be there for them now.
And forever won’t be too far. Keep smiling Stay happy.
