||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.

'Introvert!' 'She's not much of a people person.' 'He's weird.' 'Annoying.' 'Perfect!' How dare you? How dare you limit an entire person, his whole life, her complete individuality to a single word? How do you describe a person you have barely, superficially known for only a chunk of his lifetime in a few, simple words? Is this why we have eulogies? To make up for all the limiting things we say about people when they're alive. Is it a way to apologise for trying to put down a number on the distance between their being and the horizon? Are we trying to make up for the infinite possibility in them that we carelessly ignore? 'How would you describe your personality?' 'I'm lazy. I prefer pulling up my blanket to turning off the fan 'cause the switch isn't an arm's length away. I put down books when I don't love them anymore because they remind me of how my preferences change....

||Fall, Comfort Shows and Escapism..

As I find myself three seasons into my favourite show again, I involuntarily see the patterns and lack thereof every time I’m inclined to watch it.  Gilmore Girls. If you seek me out on a random day and ask me my favorite show, you may never get the same answer twice. I don’t like being held down to favorites and my mood swings like a chandelier most days. But if you ask me which show I gravitate towards most, this is the one I’ll quote. If you see me talking in weird phrases and references that don’t make sense, this show is the culprit. Having watched it over 7 times in just 3 years, it amazes me how I’ve watched F.R.I.E.N.D.S. way less times even though it might be the show I look to for comfort. If you ask me what I watch when I’m sad, I’d probably say This is Us. Somewhere between the spectrum where one end is F.R.I.E.N.D.S. and the other This is Us, smushed between How I Met Your Mother, Suits, The Office, New Girl, and a number of other shows I like to rewatch, is Gilmore Gi...

||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 ...
