The insatiable desire… 

There are days when you don’t feel like doing anything. You don’t feel like yourself. You feel like you were hit by a truck. But it’s not your body that has been damaged. It’s your soul that has taken the hit. Perhaps it would have been much simpler if you were indeed hit by a truck because at least then your wounds would be visible to others and they would believe you. Not everyone can see that you’re broken from within. And even if they do come to know, the odds that they believe and try to understand you are far from happening. You wish someone would pick you up and hold you in their arms and say, “it’s okay. Everything’s going to be okay. You can take a break. You deserve it. Don’t push yourself too hard.” 

But here’s the catch. No one’s going to come and comfort you when you need it the most (if not always, at least for the major part of it). And you can’t blame them. At the end of the day, it’s you who is going to deal with things and bear the brunt of it if and when things go wrong. So it’s not wise to wait for someone else to comfort you. 

If you’re lucky enough, you’ll have that one person who has always been there for you when you needed them the most without even you realising it and will be for aeons to come. And if you were given birth by a unicorn, you’ll have more such “persons” in your life. Cherish them. Never let them go. Never turn your back on them for they’ll never do it to you. If you think that you have one such person in your life, this is your sign to go and thank them, to let them know how much they mean to you and that you love them. 

There’s this saying, ”you’ll never realise the value of something until it becomes a memory.” Oh dear, is that true! I’m sure pretty much everyone of us might have realised this at some point in our lives and for those of you who haven’t, I hope you never do. 

But is it too much to ask for a companion with whom you can share your sorrows and happiness? Don’t we all deserve to have that one person with whom we can talk for hours and hours and still feel like only a few minutes have passed on? Don’t we all deserve to have a person with whom even the silence is as comfortable as going home after a long day and lying on our bed?

Is this too much to ask for?

sometimes u meet a song when ur too young to understand it and it enchants you loooooong before you've learned the words to express how it grips at ur heartstrings so u pick it up like a pretty rock and tuck it in ur pocket with a kiss and a promise to say hello and u forget about it until you stumble upon it years down the line and suddenly...oh
