Hello Stalkers!

It is actually difficult to see things coming when we presume it is far away. But when we are at the state of experiencing those things, our whole belief-system gets altered in one second.

Life is too short…

Whoever said that, I never really agreed to them for a very long time. Because, hey, life is a hell a lot of burn in one day straight and it felt like every second passes an eternity. Then who will say life is very short, brother?

Are they kidding me? — is the first thing that comes out of my mind.

What now? 🧐

Well, let me tell you a story I lately came to know about my friend. She lost her mother during the public exam time and she’s stronger than what I thought about her. Past month, she lost her grandpa. She was still doing okay…

Past week, she lost her grandmother (the only woman left in her house). She didn’t come to school that day while we were watching a movie played in our auditorium, recommended by our principal.

She was so hyped for that movie but never got a chance for that. Her brother is working at U.S., so couldn’t make it this week, which means it’s her and her father only.

You know, she was one of the brightest girls in our school. You can always spot her laughing every time. She wakes late, brought up with silver spoon. Of course she is rich, but never shows that or brags.

Her bedroom would probably cost my entire house.

Her brother is the sweetest. She goes shopping with him every month to buy things. They had early-morning 2-hour bike rides to reach a destination just to eat what they like. He brought her up more than anyone in the house.

This man’s gonna get married the next month, which means her sister-in-law (a friend of her’s who’s always been and being supportive in recent days) would also leave for abroad. Her dad would leave for his business daily; coming home late.

Her maternal relatives only visited due to property-sharing from her family and nothing else.

Her words pang my heart from inside out when she told me that she feels she’s stuck in a loop. The big old house is empty. They turned from six to three.

Getting hit by the news-Putting leave for school-doing rituals-sitting in the midst of wails-recovering from that-resume studying — isn’t that frustrating?

I was flabbergasted when I come to know that she wakes up at 4 am every fricking day and cook for herself and her dad. Also, if she wasn’t, then no one would clean up the aftermath of cooking in the kitchen.

Believing in God was never her cup of tea but she turned an atheist once her mother who worshipped God everyday is no more. She quit drinking beverages containing milk just because her mother was not anymore to make her bed coffee, and other untold things.

[Note: I never once had a bed coffee. Instead I’m treated to the yelling of my mother from downstairs. That was a siren!]

What are you talking about? 🥱

What am I talking about?

So far reading you must have known that she had lost three people within one year. The hope each person had about the next 10 years when they were alive, hasn’t given them the chance to be in the future itself.

Hoping doesn’t only imply dreaming. It has the other side of it.

Worrying.

Aren’t we worried about what’s coming next? About what we’ll be in the future? What person will we have evolved into? Do we have insecurity? Do we have enough money? Enough success?

Aren’t we worried about the future which might not have us in picture?

One last thing? 😮‍💨

I read somewhere that we must take up life lessons not only from our experiences but from other people’s too. From my friend’s part I’ve got a catchy one.

We’re living in a fast-paced world, chasing our goal, making one after other for what? Happiness.

Translation: Universal anticipation.

Are you happy now?

No?

Alright, here’s what you should know: Life is too short.

Full quote,

Life is too short to worry.

Are you laughing at me? Probably. I actually am laughing at myself when I agreed to that, finally.

You know why? For me, I have what all she’d lost. Everything. My family, health, sibling, food, bed, books, brain, and what not?

They are the roots of a successful life. And I have them already with strong foundation. But then still I worry about something. Especially future.

About all I realised from talking to her made sense that, we cannot predict the future, yet we still are hoping for it.

I am not saying we shouldn’t hope for a better future. But we worry more than we hope. Our future is just a sequel of our present. If I’m not happy now, that means I am not grateful for what I have now.

And if we don’t appreciate what we have now, may it be people, your own skills, objects or whatsoever, we never get to have once it is gone.

No one is permanent here and that’s not our fault or a cause to sit still and brood upon.

It is the truth and it happens for everyone.

But what we can do about life is in our hands. Only in our hands. We get to choose what we want. We get to choose the people who we want to be with. We get to choose how we want to feel.

And don’t ever miss the chance to DO IT NOW.

When I calculated the number of days I would live (approximately to 100 years) from today, I got days around 30,000 or so.

Can you see how little time we have to live happily and spend time with our loved ones?

Yet, we are willingly or unconsciously worrying about something petty and doesn’t need anything to do with it.

That’s why I laughed at myself.

Look, babe, life can by anything. You don’t have to find what is it (You don’t have time for that shit). But death is the absence of it.

Before you die… Die peacefully. Don’t hold back regrets. Don’t hold back grudges. Everyone are people; individuals like you. Treat them.

Treat them over such rubbish materialistic things.

Does your iphone matter over your mother who is always there for you? Does a slice of pizza matter over your sibling who tries to have an extra bite?

There are lots of shit to be happy than worrying like a cry baby. Get up, say thank you to your parents with whole heart. Celebrate them. You’ve got treasures which a lot of people had already lost before they could make memories.

Because life is too short to worry about things which might not come in the future. Step up and rock your role. Wherever you are be the best in value.

And don’t die before you die.

Ask yourself simple questions, and you’ll always find an answer for that. Because life has solutions for itself inside you. Only you…
