Whoa! Unable to sleep and feeling
overwhelmed by my feelings, I’m writing something after a gap of almost an year.
Isn’t it funny how quickly time flies? A lot of things have changed, including me
of course! Lately I have realized that I’ve
given unnecessary importance to the people and feelings which didn’t deserve the
tiniest bit of my attention and energy rather than focusing on the ones who are
the centre of my universe. Well yeah, this one is about friendship too, but
it’s not the stuff I usually write about.
It’s all about the time,
sometimes love comes from the most unexpected corners. I came across this quote
and in my opinion, no truer words have been said; “The single hand that wipes
your tears in your difficult times is more valuable than the countless hands
that come together to clap on your success.” Friendship knocked me down to the
lowest and left me shattered, and when I was gathering the pieces of ‘shattered
me’, I stumbled upon three vibrant souls who left me completely awestruck.
Fixing the pieces up and bouncing back to life as a stronger and wiser person
wouldn’t have been possible if they weren’t there to fill their love in those
voids, or I should say scars that were left on my bruised soul. When people get to
know you, when they see the darkness of your soul, very few are brave enough to
stay, and after knowing it all, after knowing the real me and my fuck ups, they
stayed. My problems became theirs, and they solved them up with a kind of
compassion that’s very rare these days, for everyone is so occupied with their
own issues, yet they were there all the time to listen to my endless ranting
about life, people, and relevant as well as irrelevant issues. It’s unbelievable,
how someone who is miles apart can understands you so well that they can figure
out you are not okay just by the words you use while texting them. From the conversations about totally random
topics to the deep intellectual 2am type of conversations, unconditional love
binds us together. They are the ones who have been happier than me in my
happiness and worried about me during the bad times. No one has ever cared for me like they do, listening to me and
knocking some senses in my head when they themselves were having a terrible
headache, for the words that were like a magical healing therapy for my heart,
for pulling me out of my pain and making me smile when I felt like my world was
falling apart, traveling long distance in the metro on an insanely hot and
humid day just to meet me and making me feel so special, and for being the best
people in every possible way and uplifting me and thinking that despite of all my flaws, I’m not a
horrible person and I’m worthy of being loved. Little things done purely out of
love occupy a huge space in my heart, no matter I say it or not...and honestly
the list is very long.
As I write this one up with a
huge grin on my face and teary eyes, I reminisce and contemplate all the
wonderful moments spent with them. When you are with the right set of people,
you can make awesome-tastic memories with something like cucumbers, pancakes, cheesecake
which wasn’t exactly a cheesecake, or even saas-bahu soaps. Sometimes words fail to express what the heart
feels and it’s one those times. Life seems beautiful when your blessings are
bigger than any of your problems and fears. It’s not that I don’t have any
problems or fears, but more than that I’m blessed to have them. Their mere
presence is enough to light up my life, like the stars that light up the dark
sky. I consider myself as the luckiest person, for three of the best people in
the world are my best friends. I couldn’t imagine in the wildest of my dreams
that I could ever again believe in the word ‘friendship’, but they proved me
wrong and this time I feel so right in being wrong. I’m thankful for everything
they have done for me, and most importantly for showing me the true meaning of
friendship and for rebuilding my faith in true friendship.
Well yeah, this one was again
about friendship, but a friendship that has made all the difference...
