TO THE PERSON WHO ‘MEANT’ THE MOST

         
         Life sometimes doesn’t play a fair game with us. It takes away those things that mean the most to us. Walking hand in hand, I dreamt of a “FOREVER” with you. Things seemed to be easy with you be my side. I always wanted to run to you to share every good and bad that happened in my life every day. I knew no one would ever replace you in my life. Everything seemed to be perfect when we were together. I always had a shoulder to lean on when I felt weak. You were the one who put a smile on my face every time our eyes met. I wanted to “freeze time”. I wanted things to remain the same forever. I wished to be yours “Forever”. 

               

           But just then, life made me realize the fact “SOME THINGS AREN’T MEANT TO BE FOREVER BECAUSE CHANGE IS ESSENTIAL.” That was when the reality struck harder than before. Things began to turn meaningless. Something which I dreamt would be with me “FOREVER” just left me sobbing with memories. Life often comes with some unexpected twists and turns. Everything that happens makes no sense at first but with time you begin to realize what change it actually brought in. The past memories begin to haunt you day and night. We think and re-think where things went wrong. How could things end abruptly? Can we go back just once to change everything that happened? How did I not see that coming?

                

           But the answer to all of this is-“TIME”. Time shows us who people really are. Time shows us how life still goes on even if we aren’t ready to move on. Why are we so reluctant to change then? Why can’t we take in a simple change? Why does the change of someone’s behavior break us although we are called as “INDEPENDENT INDIVIDUALS?”  The main problem is – we are constantly finding our happiness in the arms of others. We are dependent on others to survive. We can’t control ourselves and let others control us. We are constantly craving for the presence of others in our lives.

              Life changes with time and every changing phase requires a “NEW US.” Sticking to past and trying to bring in happiness by depending too much on others takes us nowhere. Ultimately we are left with us, at the end of the day. We need our legs to walk through the difficult paths; we need our hands to wipe off the tears we shed. Then why are we still constantly searching for people who would change our lives forever? The irony of life is- Everything that comes to us has to leave us one day. If this is what the rule of life states, then why can’t we handle ourselves when people leave us? Why do we break ourselves then? Why can’t we digest this simple fact and move on?

                              

           We all feel lost at some or the other point of our lives and that’s normal. We need to rediscover ourselves at this point. We need to redefine our path. We need to understand clearly what we want from our lives. We all are unique individuals born with immense energy. When this energy is used in the right direction it could work wonders. Time changes and with time people change. We have to keep improving ourselves for our betterment and in this search; we would encounter thousands of people. Some might become our journey partners while some would just leave us after their part is over. We need to learn to keep our emotions under control. We should realize that no one can bring in as much as joy as we can.

                  

            Life just happens. We have no time to find what we lost instead we should find something we haven’t yet found. We are our own “PRIORITY’. Just as seasons change for better, just as the seeds turn into plant, we need to transform ourselves into something worth the time. We shouldn’t depend on others to make us happy or break us. We are better off without certain people. At times, being selfish is essential if it is for our betterment.

               To the person who once meant the most- “Life isn’t the same always. I know we were happy with each other but as time changes, things between us changed too. I still remember the good times we spent together and cherish those memories. But as things changed, even we had to change. You will always be remembered as the “PERSON WHO MEANT THE MOST.” Remember I am here, just a call away from you in case you need me. But let us learn to walk our own path and define our lives the way we want to. Let us not depend on each other and live our lives peacefully.”
