HAPPY FOR YOU
Even though you never felt but I was very much around. Every now and then I would check upon the progress you have made. Believe me, as hard as it is, I am being optimistically critical and I hope you will find it all justified.
First and foremost, the cocoon that you were in, has finally been ripped apart and you have meta-morphed into someone bolder, exactly the way I wanted you to be. You finally shoved off your shyness and became more extrovert. I am happy for you.
I worry about the way you still linger onto your innocence. May be its only on the outside. May be it’s a part of your fake demeanour that has tricked many. But if that’s not the case, then, you need to be careful because it’s a weird world. Purity, which used to be a virtue once, is now a handicap. I am sure the impurities of this world have caught hold of you by now. You shouldn’t be pure, because no one else is and its good to be like that. So, even if you are shrewd and foxy, I am happy for you.
You surely have the power to put up through greatest of ordeals and thanks to you my dear, that I have now long withstood mine. I know, whenever you deeply reflect upon yourself, there is that guilt in you that screams volumes but then the boulder of ego and pride could suppress loudest of screams from even the deepest corners of your conscience. Strangely, I could not help but suggest that its good for you. It keeps you strong and hence your psychological fragility is minimized. But a word of caution- use this trait selectively because as indispensable as it may be, its lethal in even slightest mismanagement and I know it pretty well. Keep this in mind and if it fetches you laurels of success, I will be happy for you.
I know its not your way to blab about every small stuff and you prefer unspoken communication, but its imperative to understand that the other person might not be that skillful. Grudges and complaints get buried in this pot-hole of miscommunication giving rise to small shrubs of misunderstandings, which if still kept unheeded shall further develop into giant trees of adversity with roots so deep that it becomes practically impossible to uproot them from your conscience. Talk, talk your grudges, talk yourself through to the person involved. Speak your heart out. I know you do it once in a while but do it more often. It’ll keep you in the good books of others and I’ll be happy for you.
One matter of deep concern is the company around you. Your parameters of selection of companionship are not at all satisfactory and hence as you have witnessed yourself are totally unsustainable. The right kind of people may not long last and people who are insignificant (to say the least) become your top priority. I only advise you to figure out skillfully, with all your wit, the Antony’s and the Cassius’s, since you are the Ceaser of your life. Until you don’t feel backstabbed, I am happy for you.
Lastly, since we both are aboard on ships, sailing on the tides of time, its peculiar that time is unidirectional (forward only) we still are drifting apart. As of now, the distance between us is large but is not large enough to blur your sight from me. But soon, these small observations would fade away. And then, you would be on your own, tackling the intricacies of life all by yourself( I know you are good enough for that). All I can wish for you is happiness. Cling onto some memories that bring a smile to your face (and in your case, if a tear drop accompanies it, perfect!). Its good to remember someone and exult in the past sometimes because that’s how, all along, I have kept myself happy for you.
awsome post....its good to show ur compassion sometimes becoz it shows what u r underneath instead of what u project... :)
