It’s wonderful to feel the joy we experience upon any success or gain. More often than people would even imagine as they feel my grass is greener, Truth is since ages, I have lost plenty than gain. Keep aside the pros at the moment 🙂 You will come across many who can be as positive as they can in the worst of times and that’s really commendable.
Have you ever experienced complete silence at midnight? A silence in your heart?
Recently, over a conversation, a wise, matured friend asked me, “What have you lost?”… I smiled and thought; Give me a mug of coffee, a diary and a pen. Oh there’s so much to say and I was speechless.
Vulnerability is inevitable. It has its own pros and cons. Letting people in might seem easy but losing them is even tough. Aha! You’ll wonder how depressing this is…but…This will be understood by some who have actually experienced loss of any kind.  It’s often said one doesn’t lose anything that he never possessed/had. My thoughts differ slightly here. If someone was a part in my life even for a shortest moment, I had him/her. He/She had me. There was care and there was time. There was a connection though it wasn’t meant to last longer. There are people who are right here and in front of your eyes would drift away for some reason. This suddenly diverts me to another topic. They say Love hurts. Actually Loneliness hurts. Losing people hurts. Rejection and Unacceptance hurts. Avoiding and Ignoring could hurt. The list could go on….! There is a thin line that could mean that Does Love cover up for all the pain? OR Does it actually hurt? Why the ache? Why the tears? That’s for you to ponder. 🙂
If it’s destined, people stay with you or they won’t. There are so many instances and circumstances in which we might lose the ones we might have never dreamt of losing. Imagine a lost love, a young widow, a loss of a child, a loss of a friend, etc etc… Some might have spent just a little bit of time with you but that time would have been so valuable. Losing people isn’t always defined alone by the time they have spent with you. The one who actually left you or the one you lost takes away a lot from you unknowingly/unintentionally. It isn’t always the grief of saying goodbye but “living without them to fill the emptiness” that matters. And then someone told me that isn’t it is so surprising to have met someone in your life who wasn’t even a part of you till yesterday and you didn’t even dream of being a part of him/her. Someone who was a part of your life even for a short while and suddenly isn’t anymore is harder to accept by most. It can be difficult to articulate the pain that one is going through. It might be like a pariah.
Well let me conclude…“ Memories are special”. “Memories are beautiful.” “Memories can be painful.” “Memories can be an experience”.
