Pain

Pain is not being able to talk to your old friend.

Pain is seeing their social media and they sharing posts with their ‘other’ friends.

Pain is not being acknowledged by them even if you like or comment on it.

Pain is realising you have been forgotten in that list of address book.

Pain is not being loved.

That Girl

That girl whom I saw first. That girl who instantly took my heart away. That girl who approached me for a doubt. That girl who came late to the class. That girl who then apologised.

I thought about her day and night. I dreamt about her and wanted to drown into that dream just to catch a single glimpse of my moon. She was a glow into my darkness. I was afraid of losing her.

I had feelings for that girl. I believed society will not accept that.

But that is what love is all about. I believed she was the one. I believed that girl was my destiny.

I tried to tell her about my feelings but to it my horror and dismay she ridiculed me, embarrassed me. People beat me because of my love towards her.

I still did not let go. I coaxed her and even tried to seduce her but could not get her.

I was hearbroken. I was depressed. I could not believe that my feelings were so weak. I could not believe that that girl would not love me.

My mind and my body were tired. The soul was in turmoil. I just could not take it more. Not being loved by somone whom you have grave feelings for, that is a feeling you just can not let go.

I quit.

Hurting

It is hurting to see that girl of yours to love somebody else. It is hurting to see somebody else get more successful than you. It is hurting to see your mom in tears because of you. It is hurting to see your siblings get hurt. It is hurting to see your friends hating you. It is hurting to get hurt by somebody you have given your life. It is hurting to let go and it is hurting because it hurts.

But that is what life is all about and we have to take care of ourselves. We have to overcome our hurt and pain and see the life as it is. It is hurting but love the little things that give you joy. Go out and live your life as life is too short to think about things and feel sorry for yourself.

Expectations

Expectations is a big word. It is a thing which one just can not let go. Generally it is seen that people have expectations from their loved ones but it is interesting to observe that one tend to keep expectations from people that just don't gave a rat ass about them.

We as humans should understand this and should try to stop caring about others's expectations. I know it is easier said than done but those who have done that experience tranquility.

I will also like to point out that try not to keep expectations from yourself. Don't confuse yourself here, I am not saying don't have goals or ambitious but keep expectations within your ambit. Have expectations from yourself and work towards them.

My main point is don't have expectations from fellow humans because if they get broken you will sense pain which is long lasting.

Love

You know what is love ? Love is something you can't describe in words not because of it is eternal or what not but because it is so powerful that if you are in love with someone they control your actions, your lifestyle, the way you perform a task and so on. Love is something so beautiful that you literally can't understand it wholly. Love is something bigger than life.

The best thing or the worst thing for that matter can be that love is unexplained. You just can't explain it with any particular "theories" or "formulas".

Believe in love, love others but before that love yourself. Treat yourself with things, spend some quality time with yourself, go out alone for a movie, respect yourself and just enjoy life to the fullest because no matter how much you love somebody..you should be your own favourite.
