At the End!!!

I witnessed something awakening recently. I had read about it in books watched it in movies and soap operas and made fun of it until now.

I call it awakening and not heart breaking because it was more of a realization than anything else. It got me thinking we are so oblivious of many things that are there but not really visible in obvious ways. We tend to take things for granted. Depend on things and people.

Partly the society and community we live in sets us up for a kind of obviousness that is unrealistic, and partly the omnipresent media of the sort that shows us green and rosy pictures.

We often assume that people who care for us would never hurt us or would continue caring for us forever because that's how it was so far. Well wake up. Only thing constant is change and people and situations change.

We expect mothers to be either extremely maternal or not, we forget they are humans and no ones just like the other, especially not like what we are shown in Advertisements and movies etc. They are often somewhere in between.

The friend who was your best friend and stood by you the one time you were in trouble may not stand by you next time for various reasons.

The father or brother or sister who bailed you out for getting arrested that night or coming to help when you were getting bullied may not come next time. It can be because they are not around or just because they don't want to, things/situation/people change.

The husband, you think loves you, adores you and dotes on you, may just ask you to leave or leave you himself, when going gets tough.

We often attach and start leaning on others knowingly or unknowingly and people, equations, situations and relationships change. Things just change for plethora of reasons. It's time of awakening, to understand that at the end we are all alone. It's just yourself that would stand by you no matter what.

The children you count on may not be around when they grow up and decide to leave the nest for good.

The house and all those little comforts you thought was your ultimate sanctuary may be destroyed by some natural calamity or man-made destruction.

At the end it's just you for yourself. Wake up and learn to rely on yourself and be with yourself.

Wake up and stand up for yourself. !!

Cheers. :)
