It's crazy how life can get all bizzare in a jiffy. How you're suddenly hit by an incident so grave that it leaves you numb. One such incident left me shaken. But it also taught me a lot of things, which are as follows :
1.Tragic news strike without prior notice. There wouldn't be an offical stamp paper saying ' Regarding the advent of a tragic piece of news'. Nah, doesn't happen that way. IT comes, turns you into a leaky tear monster and seeks sadistic pleasure in making you feel miserable.
2.You've got to believe in it in order to make it happen. Positive thinking works. It works wonders. There's a person who's holds a very important place in my life, and his awesome self was marred due to a sudden and grave incident. However, we both decided to get through it in our own way. Positive thinking. 'The Secret'. And believe you me, it worked. There wasn't an ion of doubt in my mind about the success of our plan. We both realised the intensity of the situation, but our belief in such a crude yet effective idea made it possible for us to get through the thing without being down in the dumps.
3.People you love wouldn't be around forever. no matter how hard you pray, plead or beg, nothing can change the fact that humans are mortal. The incident made me realise the importance of getting those people to know that you cherish them, that you love them with your heart and soul. Some people may find this idea obnoxious, like I did. However, you'd regret not doing it when you see the person lying on a hospital bed, with alien equipments beeping in an eerie way and you feeling utterly helpless. Don't let that happen. IT would leave you shattered.
4.I'm not the kind of person who believes in God. I'd rather call it believing in a supernatural power, not God. However, since the demise of my grandfather, life came into focus. My perspective about a lot of things changed. I started believing in something I waved off as stupdiity earlier : miracles. Ever since my grandfather died, ther's been this hollow space inside of me. A space no one can ever fill up. He was someone I looked up to, someone who made me feel safe and loved. And then, within a matter of two months, he left us. IT was all so sudden, I barely had the time to let it seep in. There's one positive thing I attach to this otherwise unfortunate incident, though. Now, whenever I have to ask for something from God, I've got a very special person sitting right beside him, who'd speed up things by whispering my wishes right into His ears. I know he does that, because I've seen my dreams come true, my wishes being fulfilled.
All in all, this has been one bizzare month. There have been some happy moments, some sad and some plain boring. But I guess that's what makes my life's randomness justified. :)
I've got to say that you're lucky to um, well, reach such realizations and maturity already. OH GOD. Did I just sound like I'm way older to you? 0_o Well, you get what I mean :P
ReplyDelete1) That's soooo the truth! I like how you've put it.
2)Positive thinking! Yes, unfortunately, for that to work-you also gotta be patient, right?
3) Been there, felt that. I went through an instance after which relationships, humans, everything means SO much more to me! Life's too short for grudges.
4) Aw, I like "I've got a very special person sitting right beside him, who'd speed up things by whispering my wishes right into His ears. " a LOT!
And the randomness is totally justified.
