All our lives until we live we keep on cribbing. We are so engrossed in finding faults and what we have missed that we fail to take in the essence of what is present around us. We forget the undeniable fact that the only thing permanent in the world is change. Something which will keep on changing is change itself. We deny until we have to face it ourselves. We think that we can keep the sand of time clutched in our hands, but least we know that without our knowledge it is slipping by very quickly. While we ignore the basic pleasures of our life and only concentrate on the plastic things present around us, we are unaware that we are losing on the treasure of our life while only focussing on the path.
But we understand each of these things when we face the harsh reality of the life. We think and forget that we are not living in a world of fairytales, but of realities where it will get difficult for us to understand and actually mould us accordingly. It hurts to see people leave your present reality and be a part of our memories. When one fine day people turn into images rather than individuals. Especially if those are your life, one doesn't get to express oneself fully about what they are going through of feeling. What remains is just flashbacks of what happened, what went wrong, how much we tried and what we could have done more. Putting someone from ones life to replace it with mere images, pictures and thought processes is not an easy task. But keep going is the mantra of life and to follow this we need to forget a move ahead, which we do. But till when.
How strong one isn’t determined by the physical strength, but the real test of one's strength comes into play when one is able to hide emotions and feelings for the outer world.
Well if you chose to test your strength, just try to hide your deepest fears and emotions with a smile even if it has to be fake. Just show to others that no matter what happens we are not weak, we have learnt to overcome and we will survive even if you can't. Your strength scares the rest and it just gives you enough time to be self-relieved in your own personal space without others concern. Your strength is also determined on how many people you have who understand you, empathize with you. You will get a world full of people to give you with loads of sympathetic advice. But more than that one needs someone to understand and actually know what you feel. That helps in crossing most of the hurdles easily, half battle is already won with your own struggles and worries.
Yes, it is difficult but not impossible, and moreover it is easier to say. But doing it is the most difficult thing in this world. Something you never wish to do Ever.
