Sometimes you feel like . . .

By: Smriti Sharma

At times things don’t fall into place, series of events happen that break you down & that make you feel that the world is prejudiced with self-seeking people. Sometimes you feel like your life is unfolding in a way you never wanted it to be. At times you want to scamper to a place of delusion, a place where you can pay out some time with your own self. Your soliloquy can do the talking and you can be all ears to it. Does it happen? 

At times your only wish is a shoulder to cry on, your emotions load till the brim of your heart and you just want to spill it all out. It makes you anxious and it frustrates you, that moment makes your life a living hell. Sometimes you feel like you had someone, someone who could expend sometime with you when you are low, when you feel that there is not even one person among the millions & billions to shed a tear with you. At those times you just want to cry and cry and cry. Does it happen?

That phase when your someone doesn’t understand you, when your closed ones are busy with their own reservations, when among scores of people, you feel alone, left out and just by yourself. Those are the times when you feel like the world is a selfish place with each and every person seeking for their own good, where each and every person is busy making themselves happy with worldly pleasures and you are left out, yet again just by yourself. Does it happen?

At one point of time, all those promises appear to be pretentious and fake, all those good moments come back to haunt you, all those pictures seem to pierce you and those text messages seem to tear you apart. Sometimes you feel hollow from inside, bland and wounded because of the negative idiosyncrasies committed by people close to you. Does it happen?

Yes, it does happen. At all those times, try to make yourself strong, stop thinking about all those times and simply live in the moment. Forget who broke your heart, overlook those who hurt you, move ahead and make yourself happier. Life isn’t about regretting, repenting or being remorseful. Things will fall back into place, let go of those who don’t deserve you, the ones who will, eventually would come back to you. 

You don’t need to run behind people and seek for attention or to ask for love & care, but just be yourself and you will get all the attention, love as well as care by those who actually do. There are many pretenders, but not all are genuine and true. Don’t worry, when someone close to you breaks your heart, even they get equally hurt like you & realize. This is a small world and everything happens in this world itself, whether it is love, hate, vengeance, remorse. Be patient and watch!

It isn’t about hoping for a better future, but it is about creating one just by yourself. Accept the positive except the negative. Believe in yourself and remember that:

“The woods are lovely, dark and deep,

But I have promises to keep.

And miles to go before I sleep,

Miles to go before I sleep. . . ”
