Yesterday was history, tomorrow is a mystery but today is a Gift. That is why it is called the Present! I used to wonder why is it advised to always value today. If past was worth cherishing and you are full of positive anticipations for the future then why should you not cherish both?
Although a novice in comprehending facts still, I recently found myself juggling and struggling to avert my mind out of it. Graduation made me enter into an entirely unfamiliar world of grown-ups. Being modest in whatever one says, stop being irrational, sulking in the name of maintaining sobriety, being foolishly full of gravity , having more ears than mouth, planning everything before-hand, are some traits that compulsorily befriends anyone who enters this big, new world . Howsoever, life becomes quite a lot heavier to lead. Yet no one can complain because you are paid for it!
Along with this, parting from college friends who were like ice and water until recently pains badly. However , while being together at that point of time when your assignments and concepts were copied and bettered to fetch much more marks than you ,bothered and made an indelible notion that all friendship is borne out of Selfishness! Yet being a child of modesty you could not resist at all! In fact sometimes you thought that all relationships are selfish. At the same time another fact is that some friends that you took least care to make friends were like friends for life, not because they are not selfish but because they knew you inside out! Parting with them was like being alienated! Just because that ‘selfish’ motive of being in the same group/class/college was removed, you start losing touch. Distances play a major role in bothering you. It is now that you realize how important that selfish reason was for all relationships, and gasp in vain if it could still exist in your life. While it was you who craved for some lonely space out of all chaos few months ago, now it is the same you that holds it in great dishonor now. Being alone sucks!
Though an inside voice reverberates slowly, that one fine day all these desperation for the lost friendships will end and anything left would be just plain, simple, good memories!
Similar was the case while meeting old high school friends, some of whom were not in touch since seven long years. Everyone has changed in one way or another. Girls have become more introvert in outward appearance while wanting to be free spirited inside, while boys being bored of their freedom have started turning homely. Yet, it never appeared that a thinnest air of unfamiliarity has crept in. Revisiting school with memories etched in every nook and corner of it did wonders. You had never imagined but yes it did cut out the ‘home-sickness’ that you were suffering from, since so many years. The satisfaction that came bundled together wiped all the empty spaces in your brains. Caves and caverns made in the mind out of ‘hopelessness’, loneliness’, selfishness’, unsatisfaction’ and mistrust’ –all rekindled and vanished with a strong light.
Comprehending the whole scene; while school friends are like ‘Sugar Candy’ that can sweeten up life throughout, college buddies are no less than ‘chocolate truffle’ with a prerogative to tempt and maintain its taste in the mouth for long! So next time if a bitter taste surfaces, how long will it last? The best ones are already seated in the taste buds comfortably!
