Hello Folks, I hope you are doing great!
Life has been a rocky business but they say it has its own ways to help you be a person of substance. Sometimes I wonder, if I have never faced any problem, would I be so strong today. It’s so strange, I have cried like 1000 liters of tears all my life, but every tear taught me a new story with a very beautiful lesson like petals of a flower unfurling one by one.
I sit on my couch today and feel like a Buddhist monk who is changed from a girl who got upset on small silly things to a lady who values even smallest gestures in life and ready to analyze thing from other’s person perspective.
The journey has been very tough and don’t know how much more tough it’s going to be. But today I stand with wide open arms staring right in the eyes of life and saying let’s LIVE it. There have been two lessons which life taught me the hard way: importance of family and friends as well as real meaning of love.
After coming to hostel, I went through many lonely nights where maa was not there to caress me at night and give a good night kiss. It has been a nightmare. Every day she WhatsApp’s me positive thoughts, good morning wishes (no matter how rocky her life has been) so that I can be the best of myself. It feels she is at every step of mine, giving me blessings and whenever I fall, she picks me up. How the tree supports its branches with strong roots so as to withstand strong arms.
My sister has become my best friend, with whom I have memories of fights like cats and dogs (how she wore my clothes and I used her ornaments, it was like a world war 2). Never thought I and she can talk on something which we both would agree on. Now I sheepishly smile remembering those moments. This relationship has reached another level where I give her advice on dealing with difficult situations and being strong. It gives a whole new meaning to my life. All thanks to life, the teacher that teaches the hard way.
I don’t understand how can a person live without family and friends, they are like breath of fresh air.
Love, yes love has surely changed its definition from the time to butterflies in stomach to understanding other person’s perspective and giving them the freedom to be themselves. It’s much more than being together forever and taking it to a destination but being true to the one you love (keeping them in your heart), respecting and accepting them the way they are.
It matters a lot to care about the ones you love and being there for them when they least expect it.
“Love is a smile that lightens up your soul; makes you a better person every moment you spend in this feeling".
You must be thinking I must have read somewhere and is writing such big things but this is what life has taught me and seriously trust me it has been very hard to learn this. But at the end of day, my 24th year of life on this planet is transforming me from a girl into a lady. And hope I learn my lessons fast so that I can fill the lives of people close to me with love and happiness.
I hope life brings beautiful things into your life and surprises you with it;s sweet ways to make you a better person every day. Till then take care readers.
Will write soon.
