Of The Person Not-In-The-Frame

We owe it to someone. For the soul we carry today. Maybe we don't know who or maybe they've got no idea they've changed our lives. They need not themselves be that important or not even that remarkable. For the closest of friends we have today, for having a friend who we can confide our secrets in, for having a person who knows everything about our life starting from The Bed-wetting stories to The first kiss, we owe them. The person we're so grateful to has no idea about it. Nor do we. Isn't that strange? Like, someone responsible for the human being we are today doesn't even know he's in the frame.

Of Time That Heals

There's always a reason why people are the way they are. There's a reason why they chose to react that way. They didn't do it out of choice. Did she sound annoying? Maybe she had already faced the worse. Did he not care about what you felt when he walked away? Maybe he didn't want you to go through the pain all over again. Did that guy make you feel uncomfortable?  Maybe he was not taught how to respect one's comfort zone. Did she forgive you when you had expected her to slap you? It's because she knew forgiveness would strike you harder than a slap. You cannot really judge somebody. Not even then, when you've gone through the same stuffs. People have different reactions. They say time can heal anything and everything. But what if the healing requires some selfless sacrifices and painful decisions? You never really know how deep the wound is.

Of Trying To Predict A Day

So here I sit, penning something down as the day slowly merges into a slow silhouette of iridescent figures. Like every other day, I sit and wonder how quickly the day has passed and how I could never do the things I had planned. Yes, I do plan a lot. You'd be lying if you say you don't. It's more like a natural human tendency to stay prepared for everything that may come.

We are always ready for the worst.

But, in the same breath, we must realize that each day is filled with surprises. Some days will sweep us off our feet while some will crash us down, ten feet under!

No amount of planning can fully prepare us for what is about to arrive.

But that is life!

It is uncertain. It is a mystery. Yet, it is magical.

If we are hurt, we will heal.

If we fall, we will stand up.

And if we find ourselves lost, we just have to remember that there will be light.

Why so much planning then?
