~Last year, this time~

Last year this time, everything was so different.
Last year this time, I was happy.
Last year this time, I was surrounded by the people I love, the people who loved me, the people who said they'd never leave.
Last year this time, I was so dependent on those very beings that I didn't see it what was coming.
Last year this time, I was scared. Scared to lose cause I had almost everything I needed.
Last year this time, I had many misconceptions that are cleared now.
Last year this time, I was vulnerable.


And now, I'm broken but strong.
I fell a hundred times, but I'm independent.
I didn't believe in love, but I hate it now.

This year , has taught me many different things in many different ways. And trust me on this, it has been a hell lot of adventure plus experience. Love, friendship, family- ups and downs everywhere. Experienced fake promises, fake friends.
But through all this drama, I was consoling myself that in the end everything is going to be alright. What if the end is not alright? God knows who stated this cliche. In my opinion, In the end we have to accept the things as they are. Face the reality and accept the truth. I'm not saying that all this year has given me are liters of tears!! It has given me love, it has pampered me (and I really loved that feeling of being special), it has taught me the value of home and parents, it has given me a dream that I've to work on to make it a reality, it has given me passion to work hard just to see that smile on my parents' faces.
But most of all, it has taught me lessons. And I'm not going to cry or crib for those who've hurt me or tore me apart, cause they've given me an asset- a few lessons. And seriously, I'm really thankful to them from the bottom of my heart.

Yes, I cried. A lot.But I guess, no its all worth it. Better or not I really don't know, but yes, I'm a stronger being now!
And the most amazing(or say amusing!) thing that I've learnt is...that nothing is permanent.
and the 'thing' here refers to everything. Be it friends, love, any situation, pain, joy...Nothing!

                        "This shall too pass"

So, for those in grief, let me remind you, pain is temporary- it may last for an hour, a day or a month. But eventually it will subside. And something else will take its place. And you're the one to decide what.
And for those who are happy like I was, respect and cherish every moment my friend, cause they won't ever come back and you'll miss them like hell when they are gone, I bet.
Okay now I'm getting all emotional. So on the last note, I hope you had an awesome year and have an awesome-er one ahead..!

I've learned...

'I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. 

I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. 

I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life. 

I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as making a life. 

I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. 

I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. 

I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. 

I've learned that I still have a lot to learn. 

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.'

Just read it somewhere, inspired me enough to put to here.

Nobody's first

Priorities! Yeah, priority decides the importance of a task, a person or a thing. The things that are important, you do it first. The people who are important, you put them first. As simple as that! Things have no emotions, but people? What if you're nobody's first? What if you realize that the person whom YOU put first puts you second? Or doesn't really care?

Emotion. It can be your strength or your weakness -your decision. But you know,when you get to know that you're nobody's priority, it actually hurts. Friends, yeah, one can have loads of them, but a true one? Very rare. You can have a bunch of people to hang out with but have you ever thought how many of them really care? What if you get to know that nobody cares?
We all should agree that at some point of our lives we also had or still have this feeling of "nobody cares", like you're not even wanted in this big world, like"Damn, why am I alive?" kind of feeling. And then you think and think and think. A lot. And question your very existence.

Okay, hold on! WAIT!!!
Before you let that feeling creep into your head, I would like you to remind of those two beautiful people who gave you a life. Your parents. Yes, no matter how rude or how wrong or how much you've hurt them, no matter what, they will always be there and you'll always be their first.
We often tend to ignore them, disrespect them, think that they are always wrong and we are always right. But in the end, you realize whatever they did, they did for your own good.Come on man! Why would they do or say anything that would harm you? They are the very reason behind your existence  If you're in any kind of trouble, you cannot guarantee if your friends would be there or not, but trust me, your parents will always be there to catch your back. ALWAYS!

So, respect them, obey them, cherish them. Make beautiful memories with them before its too late. Cause the time gone, never returns. And remember, you'll always be your parents' first :)
