THE FEAR OF LOOSING



Hi, I hope everyone is doing well. So today I am back with with what will be my third blog and I am not writing this with a very good and happy face on since its somewhat drawn from a personal experience that happened very recently.

ALSO IF YOU ARE A LITTLE SENSITIVE, I SUGGEST YOU NOT TO READ FURTHER.

Recently, we lost a very good friend of ours who had been a part of our friends group for quite some time. He was battling MND i.e. motor neuron disease for about 2 years before he finally passed away. He was the father of two of my close friends. I haven't been to many funerals in my life or I think its better that I say that I have been to none because usually I choose to stay back at home while my parents attend those because I am not really strong when it comes to things like these. Although, this time due to various reasons I had to go for the memorial which wasn’t even the funeral but it made me tear up as soon as I stepped there. It made me wonder so many things and I will share with you the biggest thought that has been stuck in my head since. The question or thought was that “DON’T WE SPEND OUR ENTIRE LIVES BEING SCARED OF LOOSING SOMEONE OR THE OTHER?” Let me elaborate. There was a time when we were so small but we were scared of loosing our friends and later it was about our grandparents leaving us forever.. then sometimes the fear of loosing our parents scares us… loosing our life partner scares us…. What I am trying to say here is that we don’t know what is going to happen at what point of time but we are always living in a fear of loosing someone who we truly care about. We never know what tomorrow has in stock for us but even just thinking about what MIGHT happen scares us. At least it scares me. Life is unpredictable and things happen. Its not always a cake with frosting on top. People come and go every single day and hence I think it is very important to take in the good moments, live them to the fullest, love someone you love, don’t hate the people you are with because we haven't got a lifetime to spend with people. Time is very limited. Some people have more days some have less. We never know who has what. LIVE WELL. LOVE WELL. TAKE ON THE GOOD MEMORIES, TRY TO BE IN THE GOOD MOMENT WHEN IT IS HAPPENING.

Thank you for reading my blog. This was something that I was just thinking of and I put it down as well as I could. See you next time.

  THE OLDER I GET. Picture courtesy: Google Todays blog is about a song that I found out only recently and I am so ashamed of getting to know this song so late because I haven't heard a song that makes so much sense in a while. The name of the song is OLDER by Sasha Alex Sloan. Today I will be focusing on the very simple yet deep and meaningful paragraph of that song which is: “ The older I get, the more that I see My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me And loving is hard it don’t always work You just try your best not tot get hurt I used to be mad but now I know sometimes its better to let someone go It just hadn't hit me yet The older I get” I don’t think every child will understand this but you know who will understand this the best? US. We are currently at that stage of life where this makes sense to us more than anything else. When she says “ my parents aren't heroes they're just like me” it has no intention to demean them. How I u...
