Sometimes, maintaining the Status Quo changes everything !!
Almost a decade ago, my teacher once told me
You are going too fast, you will crash one day !!
Today I was forced to stop and wonder
Have I ran out of fuel ??
I have 7 numbers on my speed dial list, and soon 3 of which will no longer be there. Only because I would not need to call them 10 times or more in a single day.
For past few days, a post that I had written almost 2 years back is hovering in my mind. Yes, I am having the same feeling as I did when I had written the post. It is also the same feeling I had after finishing college. But my apprehensions of people and life after college have been proved wrong. And inspite of this, it is as if, I have to start all over again. I wonder why these feelings are clouding my mind. I wonder if the exodus was one by one and not in chunk like now, would I be feeling the same way?? I am not sure!! But yes, I do know, the feeling is definitely compounded because of the chunk factor. Suddenly all, not one, aspects will change. Suddenly I would not have any of the shadows, which would shield me from the blazing sun. Suddenly I will find myself in the crowd and not among friends. The previous statement would rather be harsh. But each one serves a different purpose in one’s life. Each is unique. No one can be replaced. But yes, the pain can be reduced!!
But, is it pain. No!! It is not the pain. I am sure of that, for I understand. People need to move, for their destiny, for their goals. They have to follow their heart, follow it wherever it takes them. It’s just the void that will be left that’s troubling me. As I think of the void, I think, I feel, and ask myself whether it is cyclic?? Every 4-5 years I feel this way. For every 4-5 years, the set will change. Well it has been almost like this for almost the whole of my life (at least I perceive it to be that way). May be things have to change every 4-5 years. Every 4-5 years, the cake becomes the icing and the icing becomes the cherry. Sometimes a layer is added, sometimes it is not.
But all these rumblings of the mind do not help. At the end of the day, the thoughts just cycle around. At the end of the day, things just change. At the end of the day, Life goes on!!
At the end of the day, I would just wish, they would be happy. Happy in the glory of achievements which they dreamed of!! At the end of the day, I would just wish, whenever they hear some names/phrases, they would say to themselves, I have a friend who is known by those names and phrases !!
Moving out of the comfort zone is never easy. Especially from the comfort zone which is created by the presence of someone else!!
Everyone has a flaw. Thats everyone’s perception. This basically means, everyone of us, hates something of each person. But why do we still gel together ?? There are is a buffer in which we all tolerate each other. Yes, tolerate !! It is a compromise to stay part of this world. This is the human nature, to be dependent on each one of us.
But lately I have realized, the level of tolerance I have within myself, has been on the decline and is touching a new low each day !!
