In search...

In the journey to discover what you want you stumble across things that you never thought you required. It’s the little things that go unnoticed and when you finally have it you realise you always wanted it. As I walk through the similar paths, I realise that even in the hordes that surround us, even in the most crowded place, we are alone. In this loneliness you thank god for giving you those few people who are by your side.People may walk by in a flash but those few never do. Every day you see a new set of people. Everyday you see struggle and you realise that may be in a better position than many. At least you have some things that people struggle all their lives to get. Every day I grow older and every day I learn something new. You leave your past behind and yet so many things about your past make you want to relive every moment. It’s funny that when we are living those moments we wish we could be someone different and now when we are that different person, we end up craving for those moments. Everyone goes through that phase and everyone agrees with me and yet we never fail to enjoy each and every moment. This moment will never come back again and yet the fear of future will make you forget what you need to do in the present. It’s the sense of loss that makes you stop and halt and think, what have we lost and what will we lose. It’s like we fail to realise the happiness that small small things can bring. It’s like we never realise the importance of a firefly until we are alone on a lonely road walking in the night, when the sight of it brings a smile and you want to follow it because it makes you believe in light again. Darkness surrounds everyone and everyone is in search of light and so when we get that ray of light in the form of even a small firefly, we want to become children again following these sweet little creatures who teach us to live life even in darkness because light always is at the end of tunnel. These thoughts are not new, nor unique and definitely not unknown but they are like nursery rhymes that we all know so well and do hum in happiness but fail to remember when we are alone and lost. They are there in our minds but we fail to keep them in forefront always putting them in the back where the chances of us finding it are remote
