You have friends. You have relatives. You meet people, eat drink and laugh together. You realize its time to get serious in life and search for a job. You earn, party, save, build a foundation for so called future. Ever realize your future has all the previous things in store?
The days you and your cousins played hide and seek and lock and key together. All of them are so spread apart now, All you do is whatzapp them on their birthdays and anniversaries. The days you come late after playing with friends, come home and make plans for next day, call up and ask doubts, share lunch during breaks, where are all those people? Yeah, in your facebook friends list, all you do is see photos and may be message them. When was the last time you picked up your phone and called your school friend to tell them, you want those days back?
Your once upon a time best friend, now so busy with her husband, do you feel bad? Yes, its the same case with all of us dont you think? Your crush now having a gala time with his new girlfriend. You get that pang of jealousy, even though you are married and have kids. SO SO true.
Why do you think all the above happen? Because we expect something out of everything we do. We help, but expect a similar help or appreciation. We call up someone. But the next time you would want them to. Because we dont talk. Yes, we dont talk. You feel like talking to your friends, call up. You hate your co-worker? Tell him. You want to tell someone that u miss her to the core? Whats wrong..you never lose anything by admitting it.
Life is stressful. I know i have written very arbitrary things in there. But each and everything is a cause of frustration and may be they add up and you end up taking all of it on your mother the end of the day. Not worth it. Truly not worth it. Just talk. It helps.
