Life is not easy. That is what we have been told time and again by the experienced. But humans have a strange tendency, unless they experience something first hand, they tend to believe they are not part of the loop. Nothing can happen to them. They are mere audiences.
But life knows better. It will throw up the biggest surprise for you when you are least expecting it. The moment you start believing that your future is shaping up the way you want it and you start getting smug; lo and behold; life will step in and make its presence felt. It slaps you hard in the face for being ignorant enough to think that it is under your control. And that is the moment you realise that everything is a farce. All your hard work and worries were nothing but momentary ( and false) belief of having power to rein in life ,in your hands.
That is the moment that is very famously termed as “My world coming crashing down”. The equations change. All that you had believed was yours suddenly becomes alien to you. You find yourself all alone in the middle of a sea of your yesteryear’s acquaintances.
And that is the moment you realise your actual worth. You will be surprised to know that people you would give your life for, don’t really need you in their lives; also you will know the people who truly care for you. You will be betrayed by some, accepted by others; forgotten by your nearest ones, remembered by long forgotten; disowned by your most loved one, included by those you never thought worth talking to. Some will make you realise your special place and others will make you feel worthless. You will break into a million pieces and then will be your rebirth. You will find a hidden strength in yourself and you will rise up and move again
RESILIENCE. That is the word that you have to imbibe in yourself. That is the quality you need to find within yourself to keep standing for the genuine love and concern shown for you. Put up a brave face so that life itself goes on back foot and offers you a second chance.
Leap up that chance . For even though things will not be the same again , you have got to live life as it comes.
Life is definitely difficult. It changes you and your feelings time and again. It is upto you to emerge a better fighter out of it or bow down in defeat and submit to your fate.
Whatever be your reaction, it will take time. It will take time for sure.
