What is being lonely ? Lonely, when you are surrounded by your own people, who probably care for & love you the most ? They ensure that the things are at your service even before you could ask for.
And then you start craving for something that was not so absolute & flawless yet perfect for you. What was your past. What you used to enjoy. Those fights, arguments, discussions, secrets..
Every small detail of those moments when you had lived a life. You were solely responsible for your deeds. When you had made friends and enemies on your own. Those friends who don’t love you as much as your own people. You are not the first priority in their lives. But still you want to go to them, have more & more of them. They were just like you with negative & positive traits.
Back then, your identity was the name given by them. Now, you don’t exist without your surname.
That was the time that showed your true identity, your choices, your taste, your character.
What you live now is fake. Ye sab to dikhawa hai, donning a mask of a gentleman, an obedient son or daughter, a loving sibling, perfect husband/wife.. everything picture perfect. 100%. So much perfect that you start hating it.
Sab kuch to hai, ab aur kya chaahiye ? (You have everything, what more do you want now?)
Aur ? Then the realization strikes. And strikes hard.
This is what you are going to be for rest of your life. Your life is no more yours. You are busy in performing the rituals of expectations, duties, responsibilities etc. and pleasing your own people in your own house. And you’ll continue to do so. Their taste is your taste. Their rules are your rules. A place where you should have been the most comfortable, you feel withdrawn and caged. What an irony !!
Pleasing.. .. the hated word in your dictionary has now become a norm.
When are you going to live ? Your OWN life in your OWN way ? When will you get that ‘Aur’ (more).
“He never drank. He never had sex. He never played any sport. He never loved. And when he died, the insurance companies denied him any claim. They said he never lived”.
This was one of the quotes I received in mail today.
However, this post is not related to it.
