I feel sad.

Friendships - Gained and Lost

Sometimes in Life,
We got to take a step back and re-evaluate,
Our priorities in Life.
Essentially,
Every man is an island,
No one is truly altruistic.

For me,
Friendship is of paramount importance.
Loyalty and Brotherhood shape the person that I am today.
That's why I feel extremely bothered, concerned and ultimately,
Saddened,
When I project into the future,
And all I see are friendships being tested and lost.
I will try my best and ensure that my bleak assessment don't materialise.
While it will may be inevitable,
That bonds may not be as strong as before,
With each passing phase of Life,
The basis on which our friendships are forged,
Should not be forgotten and left to dissipate.

I can only hope,
And do my best.

Sometimes,
Adversity can bring out the best or worst in a person.
We shall see.
It shouldn't be that fragile,
But Reality is harsh.
We got to accept that.

It'll be weird...

This phrase keeps haunting me,
Like an albatross that refuses to go away.

Signs

Sometimes,
In Life,
We got to learn how to read signs.
Learning how to read signs is just the start.
Following the signs you have read from random events and/or quotes,
Are quite another matter altogether.
It requires courage at times.
It requires foolishness sometimes.
It requires another sign for you to follow the first sign most of the time.
Stop thinking.
Stop deliberating.
Stop being wishy-washy.
Just do it!
Are you afraid to be the same in valour,
As you are in words?

how happy is the blameless vestal's lot

Life is one big circle and one big irony,
Where we go one big round,
And find that our end point was actually our starting point,
And realising that it's the journey that matters afterall.

Fate is one big inexplicable ferris wheel,
Where we peer out of transparent glass panes,
And wished we were somewhere else,
With someone else,
Yet deep down,
We knew we are already where we wanted to be,
Our links to people pre-destined,
And that all things happen for a reason.

Love is.....
The moment of stark unadulterated joy of freedom.
The moment where the river finally meets the sea,
After meandering an arduous journey across chiselled terrains.
The moment wintry frost melts with Spring's infancy.
The moment where time stood still,
And we are encased and entrapped in an endearing cocoon,
Safe, snug and secure.
The moment where their eyes met,
And everyone else disappeared.
The moment where he smiled in his heart,
And she smiled a seraphic resplendent smile in return.
The moment we decide to take a plunge,
A leap of faith into invariable depths of hurt, loss and pain,
Just to love someone.
