Why? Why are there 24 hours in a day? Why do we have 3 meals a day? Why are we always questioning? Why do we always need a reason or justification or some logic? Well fine I won’t question logic. But why do we always need a reason. Why don’t we give our mind some rest and just simply believe what is told or expressed!

Throughout our life we go through a lot of, say episodes, like really a lot of them, and we meet a lot of people. Some stay forever, some leave, some you seriously wish had left but are still there and some leave but aren’t really out of our life! Let’s call these people chapters of your life. Like a lesson has a moral at the end of a story, every person who is a part of your life at sometime or the other, either leaves you with something new or brings up something you never knew you had or felt and in some rare special cases they remind you of something you had forgotten. These are special people you never want to lose. Trust me you don’t.  You know why? Because not everyone you meet will care enough to awaken your soul.

This person could be anyone. A parent, sibling, friend, teacher or just an acquaintance. A person who touches your soul in such a way it is kind of hard to believe that they won’t be with you forever. Once they make you feel what you thought you possibly couldn’t, you get hooked on to that person, like you want more of that person, you want to explore more, you want to know more, you want to experience a new world of possibilities. The question here is do you get to have that person by your side always? Without having to give any reasons or justification. Can you ask them to just be there and not ask any question?

You want to give back to them for making your life beautiful, you want to make them happy, you want to see them prosper. It’s all good till a certain point. This point is the critical point.This point is where there is a conflict of interests. Conflict not because you have other priorities or because you value something more than this person or because you don’t have the same needs anymore. But because you know what one wants, the other cannot provide.

We all know the difference between being born and starting to live and growing up. The chapters of our life start long ago before we realize we have a life to live. We start making choices long before we know we have to face the consequences. We plan a life much before we actually begin to live. So we stick to what we planned. We might not be able to remember and justify why we planned our life the way we did. But we did. Times change, you change, people change. But some things remain constant. Some reasons remain constant. You may not be able to reiterate them. You may not be able to validate your reason in the current times. You may not be able to let them know how you really wished things were. Don’t ask me why..

I cannot explain it to you!
