Does it pass? It does

It'll pass

There's a thing about time that it passes. Nothing new right? I know but I think we need to look at this thought one more time. Remember the day when the whole world caved on you or the one where nothing was going right despite you trying your best to fix it or the day where you cried yourself to sleep or the one when you lost a person in your life or the day where guilt consumed you? You remember those days. Now do you remember the day where you were walking on road and it was bright day with sun on your head and you plucked a pretty flower on your way home or the day where you cooked a delicious meal for yourself and showed some love upon you or the one where you met you friends and laughed till your stomach hurts or the day where you partner got you something you very mundane that you told them once yapping or the smell of home and the comfort of your mother, you remember these days right? I bet you do. And you should too but now look back at those times can you feel that exact amount of happiness you felt that day? Can you feel that exact smile you that bloomed on your face when you saw a cute cat on the way? Or you peculiarly remember the utter sadness that the cloudy days brought or the ache in throat after you cried with all you had? Do you exactly feel that emotions right now if I were to remind you of those days? I bet not so much. This is exactly what this is about. You cannot ever again feel that exact same after that moment passes, because it will pass eventually and that’s the ironic part, because time is flowing steadily with the same rate, or is it? (its relative?) and it will pass irrespective if you had the greatest day of your life or you had a near death experience. And as soon as it’ll pass, its left just to be a memory and nothing more. You can now only see the photo and be nostalgic about how good you were feeling or just re-view that vlog you made again.

 

I’m not trying portray that as something not good but what I’m trying to say is that why we are waiting for that experience to pass and time to move on and then to revisit it. Why aren’t we there when its happening? Why aren’t we able to just be in the moment and not in the rush of making Instagram stories for people who doesn’t give two shits about you or why we are isolating ourselves when we need a human connection and emotional intimacy? Just a big Why. If we were to just take a step back and just try to be in present irrespective if its good or not, because if the good one gives you joy and hope the bad one gives you an insight experience of who you are? And what virtues you have as a grown individual. The not so good one gives you an experience that actually makes you grateful for the good ones. To be in the moment is one of the things I learnt this year the hard way after letting myself get consumed in the utopic site of future or the regrets of past.

If I were to ask you right now that what were the best moments and worst moment of the year and if your answer is taking a long pause while trying to remember if you even had one truly happy moment while your Instagram displayed the most amazing parts of your life even though you can’t remember one right now, I think it’s a thing to be a little concerned about and give a thought about.

As a fellow human, I ask you to try to be in the moment this upcoming year as much as you can and tell yourself the contrast of how you felt this year and the one before that. On that note, I wrote a lot this year through jumble of emotions in the form of words to immortalize those moments and emotions in ink forever and wrote a poetry collection called ‘Draft of Emotions’. A small poetry book talking about various emotions that I felt by being in the moment and not waiting till it becomes a mere memory. This year went off in the most unexpected turn of events and my book contains my experiences of it, do check it out by the below links, its available on amazon, Flipkart and book leaf publishing website. Click here for paperback. click here for E-book

I ask you to read it in the hope of letting you experience some raw emotions again or to take you back in time where you felt like that and to inspire you to try to be in the moment, with yourself, with the nerves, with the foot tapping on ground or with the laughter and smiles with your loved ones or with your red teared up wet eyes in the night. Just be there. With yourself. And the next time when you’ll look back at it, that experience will alter something in your head. 

Read it and do write how it made you feel and give your valuable feedback. You can leave your review in here in comments or this accounts inbox. Tap here
