Carry On...

“Though I've never been through hell like that

I've closed enough windows to know you can never look back

If you're lost and alone 
Or you're sinking like a stone. 
Carry on. 
May your past be the sound 
Of your feet upon the ground. 
Carry on.”

We live in self-righteous worlds of our own… Fair Enough!! How can you blame it when on the other turn of the face you will tell us to be confident of ourselves and be who we really are!! So imagine a world with multiple worlds of each individuals, each with its own beliefs, virtues of right and wrong, opportunities and challenges, excitements and hardships. Imagine a conflict in such a world where you feel you are always right in your own world and hardly care to make people understand because after all, they wouldn’t understand because they they are submerged in their own worlds while nodding their heads and smiling at your face!!

Life is cruel. Life is a challenge. Emotions are dying and people refrain to either accept it or drown in their busy and melancholic lives and would go, “Do I need to cry to show you, asshole!!” No, of course not! All you need to do is this: You need to care to come out of your “world” and see the other “worlds” because this is why we are essentially born for… To give a chance for the other “worlds” to smile, to bring some excitement to other “worlds”, care to listen to the hardships of other “worlds” and be mature enough the accept the deviation of these “worlds” from your own. Well.. This is not it. There is more. Finally, you need to let go of these “worlds”!!

We miss some people.. We miss them so bad that you hardly feel like doing anything, eating, sleeping or talking. We have all these silent conversations in our heads with the people we miss and just wish that they somehow magically are able to hear these silent conversations. In these conversations, we laugh with them, we fight with them, we calm each other down, and this cycle goes on. You read previous chats and see photos in vain. And later, you end up realizing that all these things were utter waste of time and feel like a nail hammered down your heart. Aren’t these relations so weird? We don’t even know how we end up being so close and yet so far. We prioritize relations and then choose one over the other. And before long, you have to let go. 

It’s isn’t so easy to let go… to “Carry On”!! Their names come in daily conversations with your friends and family. They grow up to ignore you and call themselves “mature” and you fight with your own thoughts of “immaturity”. You always think about how they were when they first met you and how you wish that things are always like those times. You think about the time when you cared for each other, smiled with each other and made up after fighting a numerous times. You start to question the very genuineness of the relationship but later feel that it could not have been wrong after all. So, now you are confused, helpless and on the verge on doing something which is not so clever and strong. There you go.. The sweet recipe of Disaster!!

This is not the end. Because people come and go.. But memories don’t! They stay strong with you and trust me, after this short phase is done and dusted, these memories will stay in your head and there would be lots that you have learnt from each relationship.  Maybe it’s not the end of your relationship even. You never know. You can just hope!! Anyways, Life moves on… Life is magical. Let the dice keep rolling.
