There are
times when life prepares you knowing what you need to endure – Shut up and play
along. Do not get too worked up and throw disgust on yourself. Whiners are
never winners.
When you
earnestly believe and wish for something – it is true that life will magically
align stars and make it happen. On the way, friends may become foes and love may be lost. But, when IT happens, you will know it was all worth it.
The day when
a part of your world looks at you in contempt and jealousy - thank your stars
for giving you folks to beat up.
When every
single hour becomes hard to push and your heart is consumed by grief or pain –
push yourself to study for an exam or learn swimming/car driving/roller
skates. A fear to perform will happen
and it will make you a better person.
Five years
from now, none of this will matter. Absolutely nothing holds that kind of
gravity, except family. Be nice to them. (if it is friends for you, lucky you!)
Pray for
endurance, intelligence and strength. It
is not fair to pray for a miracle, when you are lying around in a couch bag and
feeling like a rotten tomato. The god is not a hairdresser or a magician.

DeleteFelt like you were talking to me!

DeleteI'm sure most of us can identify with that. I went through a large part of teen life with the 'no expectations' philosophy, where as a principle, I would expect nothing towards me from another person - family or friends - and be pleasantly surprised when it did happen. It was sort of peaceful in that there was less disappointment & anger, but also sad in a way to stifle the hope that the world is a good place.
ReplyDeleteShivya, it is immensely tough to have that attitude. *respect*
DeleteAll that matters is how you are and how you are trying to be. God is what you make of him. Very well said! :)
ReplyDelete:) I cant believe I am doing all this talking, you know.
Delete"On the way, friends may become foes and love may be lost. But, when IT happens, you will know it was all worth it.'- Sometimes this realization strikes much later! But it is all worth no matter when and how the realization strikes! :)
ReplyDeleteIt strikes always later, much much later.
DeleteWell put together.. things that are bound to keep you going in life..

DeleteSo so true. "On the way, friends may become foes and love may be lost. But, when IT happens, you will know it was all worth it." I have seen it happen and yes - it was all worth it. definitely worth it.
ReplyDelete:) Been there. Infact, just crossing one more storm.
DeleteYou know what? Sometimes I wonder when on death bed, would the entire life matter?
ReplyDeleteThat five year logic, is so freaking right. It all settles down. Like a Tsunami.
