Not very often do I realize this, but somewhere I feel, when I do, that it gets lonely sometimes in this World.
Usually surrounded with friends and loved ones, I don't always realize this very often. As life always gives you your solemn moments to realize what you need to in your life. But then again, you can always choose to be an escapist or can also think about facing it.
I have learnt to face it. It was a regular Sunday, and I wanted to go for a movie. Asked a few friends, but realized that their better halves kept them busy, so some time for friends was not a good idea. It is shocking when you suddenly realize that your so called best friend cannot be with you, because she has other priorities. I could not go for the movie.
I don't know, if I would have done the same thing if I were in their shoes... but people have their lives to live... and it is no where close to the life that I live. I live for my friends, but in reality my friends live for some other important people in their lives!
I think I spent a lifetime walking with some people through thick and thin, but those people have walked ahead and far off. That is when I realized, that I am not covered with friends... I am almost alone.
Make believing that friends will always be there no matter what.... and also that every promise made during college days in awe of friendship would be kept. That I would be sheltered by their love. But in and outside, I have managed to make a mockery of it all!
Don't mistake this to be a sad tale of my life. It is a realization... that in the end of it all.... An individual is alone... every one is alone.... in life you walk in and walk out alone, people's presence in life is more of a comfort for the time being... because different people may be there at different times to fill in…but only for sometime. May be they have their own reasons to be with you. The reason could be anything… class notes, emotional help, time pass etc…
Being emotional and holding onto things does not really help, because people come to go. It is important to hold this in mind… it is important to live for yourself. Ultimately the only person who will remain common between yesterday and today is YOU.
Being alone helps. I have learnt it in my own way…. And there are people in your life who will teach it to you… every now and then.
This does not mean that you don’t hold any one close to your heart and look at every one with a sour feeling. What it does mean is to just accept this as it is.
Come on, there will be a time when I may meet some one like me… and then there would be no goodbyes…. How wishful… but what is life without a hope for a better tomorrow :)
