Yesterday , I watched , as a friend's long standing dream got smashed. I did not move forward to console , because there is no consolation...I have been through that path ever so often. I know how it feels ! Its as if some body has pricked a pin into your balloon of dreams. The only difference in this case being , that the pin keeps pricking even after the balloon is deflated. Then how to soothe the wound exposed to an atmosphere where it cannot heal ?
The best way is to remain quiet in one's pain, cry if you must, because someday or the other you have to get over it, move on because , as they say , dreams keep changing and hope, is one such , "never say die " emotion that dwells in the most negative of us. Sooner or later it will rear its head and work for another dream to get fulfilled !
That's the spirit of man , and a broken spirit is our own creation and not one given by the creator ....So dream on ........to jesbeat it !

The pin keeps pricking just because maybe one does not have anyone to share the pain with...it is easy to say 'Move on. Life will have better dreams'...but that little pin will always cause discomfort...but then you may never get the right person to share it with...that's why it is better to help your friend in pain just so that he/she doesn't go through the same pain as you...
ReplyDeleteAs the cliche goes,life is too short, I think life is really long for us to hold onto anything including a baggage of pin pricks,'cause they will hurt you as long as YOU want them to. When you let your friend be in his pain , it does not mean you are not there for him, it only means you are allowing him to cope on his/her own by being there as a friend , not a crutch....the only way to grow, is on one's own and the earlier you recognise it ,the better......Life keeps on giving chances.....just have faith and patience in it...
ReplyDeletei agree. you shouldnt have to depend on someone else to take you through the healing process. your friends may distract you and make u feel better for a few hours but when you are alone you face ur grief by yourself, and learning to deal with it, again it sounds cliche, is just something that you learn over time.
