||Its a complicated world..



People come to this world alone and they have to go alone. To make this journey called life easier, we associate with people, we form bonds. Some bonds are made by birth and blood, some by fate, and some we choose on our own. In the former two cases, not much is in our hands. The latter case is where we make the most mistakes, or in some cases the best decisions of our lifetime. These people we choose come to be known as our friends, a word and a bond widely misused these days. What makes it worse is that however good you think your judgement might be, only time can show you the true colours of any person.

Its a tricky thing, making friends, more like a trial and error method. Some friends are made by chance, while on the other hand, more often than not, the friends you depend on might give you the woes of your life. And that isn't even the worst part, it is when you try to cope with it, when you try to get over them that you realise what a fool you've been. The thing is that we don't even know when to give up because no matter what we're going to regret it even if its the best thing to do.

This world we live in, is full of selfishness and although its not an admirable trait, we need to be a little selfish ourselves to survive here. We need to realise our worth, and make sure we put nothing above our self respect. We need to realise second chances aren't always fruitful, and many times its not worth it. We need to realise that people who hurt us, are going to do it again and we need to take a step back to prevent ourselves from getting hurt. And if they're your true friends, nothing will ever matter, because true friendship is meant to last. Also, once you know who isn't going to stick by you when you need them, its best to stop waiting on them once you push them away, because they ain't coming back.

If you run, and they don't chase you, keep running.. because there's a chance you might find someone you'll be glad to run into.

||Tell me why..

He nudged her to bring her out of her reverie. She was lost again, zoned out, overthinking. "Penny for  your thoughts? Or do you want it to be punny?" She laughed in that way she only laughed with him and broke out of her spell. It was easy being around him, effortless. It didn't matter what she had to do to be near him or how many intolerable yet genius puns she had to endure to hear him giggle at his own damn jokes. Maybe that's exactly why she couldn't describe what about him made her happy. She had been asked that often, a lot, really. And she couldn't figure out how anybody who knew him even the tiniest bit couldn't understand it. It felt natural for her to gravitate towards him because he was it. Not in the epic love story and grand gestures way but just the I-can-just-be-myself-around-you-and-you-put-me-at-ease way. She was wound up and every year of her life and every incident that came along with it had built her up a nice, cosy layered wall tha...

Welcome to this stupid post

  It has been a year and a half since I last wrote anything, well, significant. (Coincidentally, also the exact age of my dog.) So I figured it was time to get out all the stupid. Here goes nothing. He’s twenty eight, almost twenty nine. January has always been a difficult month, it’s been the month of departures in his life. Most people are excited about the hope January brings with it, he’s terrifyingly cautious of the signs it brings - of people leaving, of things changing, and basically everything going to shit. His fears are not unfounded, he’s not a vague person like that. He’s seen things happen, he’s felt things hurt and he’s experienced darkness in its complete, mystifying totality. People think he's naïve, his problems self-made but tell that to the spiraling tornado in his head that won't quit screaming. Fast forward to two years later, it's his thirtieth birthday eve. He grew up celebrating and anticipating this month, now he plans to sleep well before midnight....

||Friends? Sure..

I woke up this morning thinking about writing this post because I couldn’t fathom how one year we were going crazy with friendship bands, everything was simpler, love was friendship, movies were influential and then I wake up today and it’s a pretty normal day. Also I wanted to try out my cute new keyboard which otherwise seems like money not so pragmatically spent. I wanted to reminisce a little bit about all the different kinds of friends I’ve had over the years. The one you rang first on the landline every time you got the tiniest bit of gossip. The one you went running around the school playground with, jumping off corridors as your fancy birthday dress flew up in frilly cuteness. The one you spent hours with coming up with numbers to cryptic-name your multiple crushes/persons of interest. The same one you found sitting on the first bench after assembly, new to school but so old and wise beyond her age (still). The ones you keep thinking you’ve said goodbye to but they keep coming ...
