You’re by yourself…!!!

Are you going through something in life? Is something/someone’s bothering you and you can’t bloody get over it/them?

Then, this is for you.

I won’t, and for sure, can’t give any solution to what’s happening in your life but talking about things and sharing thoughts might help you or anyone else who’s on the same page, in some way or the other.

There will be times in life when things don’t go as planned. You don’t know what you want in life or where you are going with the current job or the course you are studying, but you’re just going with the flow thinking that there might come a situation where you think you might find a way out and get successful.

There will be times when you don’t know what your likes are, what your goals and ambitions are or what you want to become in the future. You might think that this hindrance is the stopping point of growth in your life and might even get depressed about your present state.

There will be times when you might have someone in your heart, soul and mind but the person you dream of, might not be having similar thoughts. You might be thinking not to be a burden to the person you love and beat yourself up for troubling them.

There will also be times when you might have been together with a special person for some time and then broke it off or became distant, whatever be it, the circumstances, for the separation and you either want to get back together or get the person as a whole out of your directory in the brain.

This is for all of you.

Don’t take things too seriously. Everyone’s going through something or the other. You are not alone in this fight to live your life on good terms. You have many others competing in different categories and levels of complexities in the game.

You’ll have friends, family, acquaintances and well-wishers who want you to win all the time and in every single game. But please acknowledge the fact that it is okay to lose, every now and then, just so that you could understand the fact that Life always makes you realize things when all your chips are down and that’s when you can learn; instigate lessons and values into your life to win again.

Whatever that has happened to you and whoever advises you on how you have to deal about it, will never change anything that has to do with the problem. It’s YOU who has to work on it, live, experience the pain, struggle and suffering and ultimately it's YOU who has to decide, take actions and set things straight.

Yes, it’s not easy but it’s definitely not impossible.

If your heart is broken, either try doing things that’ll help you get back together or get closure so that you can move on and lead a better life than to just crib about your failure in understanding your relationship.

And if your path ahead is as blurred as the vision through your glasses when you just come out of an air-conditioned room or a car, then start introspecting. Give yourself a chance to know more about yourself.

Try things that can make you feel your heart pumping, your blood rushing and the neurons in your brain tingling with excitement. Spend more on experiences than luxuries, those are the things that’ll make you tick and recognize that thing that you most want to do even when nobody appreciates your effort. I guess that’s the best way to know yourself more.

I am among the many others who are along with you trying to set things right, get settled in life, get a love, a high-paying job, have a family and kids and everything that you, me, your best friend, my best friend and all the countless other people can think and dream of.

I only wish you to have the strength to survive, strive, sustain and succeed in life. -Rajiv Nair
