Note to Self....

To the never quitting friend,

I won't ask you how you been the past few days. As I am not here to console you but to have a conversation we didn't have from a long time with a open heart and mind.

I know how you have been spending your days lately, handling weights that are beyond anyone's limit. Attaching a fake smile everyday in front of this world, proving yourself a great actor each day. Facing hurdles everyday, everywhere and all the time. I know how you have been suffering with the everyday tale of your failed and miserable life. With no one to share the pain with, I know and have seen you putting yourself to sleep often in the mornings. Carrying a mountain of miseries and a strong hope of achieving something big, you are unable to move ahead with the rope of responsibilities tied to your legs. I have seen you carry the same hope every morning despite having a wet pillow in the most silent and darkest of the nights.

Not intended to hurt you by reminding you all of these or by telling you things that I think or feel about you. Rather to remind you about how patient you are travelling so long and alone in the desert with thorns and how strong you are carrying all the weight and burdens all along.

You are a Gem! My Idol!! And you are my Hero!!! I have never seen someone like you nor I think there would be anyone as good as you are!

With such a damaged soul and no one to lift you up when you are down, you are never quit fighting for what you want. Even after knowing that it is almost impossible to reach the destination, you never lost hope nor did you ever stopped moving forward. Rising higher every time you fell, you never let that smile disappear from your face. It requires a lot of patience and courage to do what you have been doing every single day. Your quest to achieve what you want didn't end here .You are just tired today. This is not a reset, but a rest.

Only I know what your true potential is, better than anyone else. Standing tall and strong in the toughest of the situations, that's something I cherish and envy the most in you. Even when your mins is conquered by the dusk of the Mediterranean, you never fail to start your day on a positive note. That's why you are my Hero!

Life is a mix of light and darkness. No one knows what surprise it throws at us the next moment. And who knows what life has to offer you tomorrow. It could be the happiest day of your life. Or it could be one of those responsibilities you have to take or one of those problems, only you are meant to solve.

And with all that, here's an advice for you from me, if you are not offended much by this novice advising the master.

You are not lifting the weight of the world. Nor your problems are something which are not seen by anyone before. It is the same with every other person you meet or smile at everyday. Look at your friend or your colleague, carrying the same or bigger weight than yours, yet smiling back at you with the same energy everyday. The weight you are feeling of the world on you is just a dot in the never ending essay called life.

Yeah, I know. It is much bigger in your perspective, than I could ever see or imagine. But remember, everything you face and old is just another test for how strong you are and meant to be. When life throws these kind of challenges at you, it only means that only you are capable of handling and solving them. Why comparing it with someone else's easy going life and losing your hope and value.

Let the whole world be against you. Lose hope and trust in you. But I will be there, with complete belief in your never quitting attitude.

You might have lost a lot of times, but you never gave up. Never moved out of the path you believed to be right. You might be another normal person to this world. But for me, you are no less than a hardworking, determined and a continuous fighter and a soldier. And that tiny bit of smile that's growing on your face now, I see your victory there.

Yesterday was not yours. Today is not yours. And tomorrow might turn out to be the same. But I believe, there would be a day, waiting for you with everything that you ever wished for. And that day, there would be an infinite amount of happiness that would flow out of your heart in the form of tears. And the true smile that your face has been missing all these days, would be there soon, waiting to be yours forever!

Like I said, not teaching the master but just reminding to be you all along this journey and never lose that hope you are carrying since inception.

For they say, "If something is meant for you, all that you have to do in order to receive it is be YOU!"
