And, you thought story-telling could always be as soothing as watching a sand castle on a busy beach? Not that I am saying that I do not like listening to stories, but I am very certain of the opinion that you and only YOU are to know your story, no body else.
At this point, when you are about to confuse me with a Traitor, for asking to only believe in yourself and not in others, which includes your best friend, your family, your lover or anyone else, the only prompt I want you to keep is a chunk of self as serendipitously yours.
Yes, I will always ask you to LOVE yourself. ❤️
Yes, I will always ask you to LOVE yourself. ❤️
So, this thought is not mine, really, but have been learnt over an experience of about 5 years now. The problem begins- When you tell them everything about yourself. That's when it starts. You should share everything but YOU with your selective everyone. You would agree with me when I say with a raised eyebrow- "A lot can happen over a year". Your 'best friend' could become an 'only friend' and a mere 'classmate' at the end of time. Yes, things change, for good or bad, but they always do. But, your words once said, can only be forgiven, or be used for revenge but cannot be forgotten. When I call out the word mis-use, I don't mean a betrayal from them, but giving them (who might not hold the same importance in life anymore) a few pages of your personal diary might make you insecure about your privacy and repenting over value of time. Which brings me to saying this:
You don't need another Human to complete YOU.
You can LOVE, only when you begin it from yourself.
I will tell you a thing- Shhhhhhhh! It's a clue again, not my story. I know exactly what its like to lay next to someone and still feel alone. I know exactly what it's like to get damaged out of something you can't help falling in Love with. But, I am not asking you to stop Loving in either case. One thing if you're seeking my advice would be-
If and when you hug, hug harder. ❤
If and when you laugh, laugh louder. ❤
If and when you smile, smiler wider. ❤
If and when you Love, Love longer. ❤
Create a happy nest of yours, decorate it with what you have as your own set of values, and let it say for you. The ones who will Love what your nest stands for, will always STAY. They are the keepers. And about stories, have you ever wondered- Will anyone ever be able to understand your stories in the same intensity, or under the same wavelength as you? No one. You deserve to let your dear ones have a clue about who you are but keep the stories intact. They are utterly precious. They are yours. They are you. The real you. ❤️
I love this one-
I will never ask you to stop Loving people. Some of them will always stick to your ass and stay by your side. Some of them will turn dormant in touch. Some of them will get boring. I will still inspire you to stay busy in your hustle and let no opportunity in life turn into a regret. Be busy in making yourself a better You and let the mirror be your only competition. And, who knows, when you are really busy in the making, someone falls in Love with the process? ❤️
PS- All the 'Love's in the post have been capitalised for you to notice. It's, of course, of the highest honored words.
Don't you dare stop being you! ✌🏻
Love! ❤️
Love! ❤️
I won't counter you on any of your thoughts shared and beliefs poured in this write-up but I still think that there's a difference between stories and secrets which is 'Secrets are meant to be kept and Stories are meant to be told'. Now, it depends on you to decide for yourself what is what.
ReplyDeleteAbout change of terms with people, I know exactly how it feels when someone use a secret to take revenge from you. My case wasn't a small one either and the lesson I've learnt from it wasn't to not trust people but to take time in trusting people and if you never find someone you could trust completely, wholeheartedly, that is purely fine, okay, wonderful because you have YOU.
Another point: I hope you know that humans have a tendency to form or create stories if they aren't told one. Your just giving hints might led to a new set of story which they again can use against you when time demands (Gone through that too!).
To conclude, I won't ask you to look up to people you could trust because there are some trustworthy kinds out there, NO! All I will ask you is to make sure that what others do to harm your image or by revealing things after you guys break-up (from any relation be it friendship, LOVE or anything) shouldn't affect you if you have invested your trust in them. Just learn a lesson and move on.
PS: My wish for you would still be same but with a slight update. So, Mr. Lalit Bhandari, I hope you fine love, love that is build up on one of the most important factors called trust. (I wanted to write either in your own self or in someone else but I am not mentioning it here because I want you keep you open to thinking and create perceptions about this one). ❤️😍
A wonderful peice of write-up. Keep writing!
I totally respect your opinion. The most distinct feature, we as human beings, share is that we have around 7.125 Billion different opinions and they all make sense to every individual. I get what you're saying, however, I might not be able to think the same way. like you read, Love remains a constant, come what may. It's just that mine and your idea of revealing stories will always be different. Forget, secrets. :P
DeleteAnyway, I look forward to your comment, everytime. Thanks for taking time out to write. :)
Come what may, though! ❤️
DeleteCome what may! <3
DeleteSo now that I know where is this coming from, I can totally relate to it. I think we all have our ups and downs in life but life should just move on. I also agree that you should love yourself more. People often forget how beautiful they are and as you said,we are the UNIVERSE in ourselves. We don't need anyone to complete us. If you have a companion, great! If you don't, big deal! Raise a pet instead and I am sure that will be a much fulfilling experience. You will have the best companion for life!
ReplyDeleteLife is simple and let's not complicate it.
Breathe. Accept. Move on.
You had my soul with this comment. Maybe, because I think it was very important for me to include pets in this write-up and that should've completed this post in a much better way. I'm glad that you well-received the point I was trying to make. Nobody else can know the value of time more than the one who's gone through it. To even think about looking for companionship in others is shaking your self-confidence of creating your own world of happiness and that's what I want people to learn through this post. Simple as that.
DeleteAnd, thank you for taking out time to write. I'm guessing, it's your first comment on the blog. If it, at all, motivates you to jot something down, remember that you have your first reader ready!
When you really can, you should. ;)
Once again, a great piece..Love your opinion! 😀
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. It's people like you whose words push me further in writing more. :*
