There's this journey of our life we have been through till now. It starts at the beginning with us being a newly born kicking our legs,out of the joy of feeling the warmth of the outside world.
We cry out loud for we miss the protection of our mother's womb but we smile occasionally in the warmth of the love we receive held in the arms of our loved ones and we still know that, that one small smile across the once tiny,soft,beautiful lips of ours defines the word Heaven and it is what we still die for.
As the journey goes on,a truly happy one indeed.. we enjoy ourselves everyday...learning to talk..playing with toys..being fed by our mother..watching everything..noticing intricate things..smiling without reason and laughing beautifully at everything that is amusing..
But the journey took us further into the horrendous path this world has for us with all those smiles we once had gradually fading away, we wonder where have all those smiles and all that happiness gone through ?? did we drop it along the path or did we have it in one of our pockets but not know in which one it is in ??
Once life gets into the groove...things around tighten..it feels like the four walls are closing in...Like we are trapped in a cobweb of time and commitments But We in the futile attempts of getting away from those commitments and pressures, we start to pretend that we are someone who we are really aren't. It is like a Halloween costume that we wear but only everyday. Even though we hate to get into it,we do it...just to hide our feelings and in due course we learn to put on false smiles especially when we are being crushed inside.We lose ourselves in the process."I am fine" are the only three words that ever comes out when somebody asks.
Why is it that we don't open up ??
Why is it that we don't find that true happiness we once had??
What has shut down our natural feelings to come out??
Why has it created a lump in our throat??
Why is it that we do things that we actually hate ..but do it with a wonderful smile??
It is true that Nobody in this world is truly happy...the four letters P A S T always affects us so much that it always keeps warning us...cautioning us and pulling us back so that we don't get hurt again...This automatically makes it an instinct to us to think twice b4 doing or saying anything...in such a case...
Where is the "real us "???
Why should we live with the fear of the past ??
Why should we fear to trust again ??
Many things have changed us...things that happened in the past...that are happening now...and the thoughts of things that will happen in the future...
We often tend to please others...make them happy...is that working out good?? we don't expect anything in return..but when we do so much to make others happy..so much to spread their lips..and see them happy and when we don't even get a glint of acknowledgment,...it hurts..and kills us inside..it just squeezes our heart and pours our sorrows out...but conquering that pain and keeping a smile on our lips ,sometimes seems the best way...rather than to speak our mind...
So when we keep on doing things to satisfy others and mending ourselves to the situation..
When we turn back and look at our lives,what have we really been through?? are we there in every episode of our life ?? or has someone made us play our role ?
Are we living our lives as we wish?or is our life under the influence of people around us..??
When is it that we are gonna smile naturally again??when will our heart feel secure... happy...with absolutely no fear ?? when are we gonna stop holding ourselves back ??
So many questions...yet no answers...so should we conclude that this is how life is meant to be ?? It is not so , Life is created not just to enjoy things but to explore what this world is to offer, It is to experience all the ups and downs,hatred,fear,love,happiness,despair and everything...
We should learn to get up each time we fall and to be strong. We brought nothing coming into this world and we aren't gonna take anything except for the few loving hearts in whom we live and rest.. Live life the way it is meant to be, Forget and Forgive and Life moves on bringing something new to us one day or the other. Bring light to others life and never live in ur own world of darkness and Make others happy for you to be happy yourself...!!!
