Epiphany of my life
Believe it or not, my life was perfect.
Two dotting parents, one very affable younger sibling and a human-friendly atmosphere to live in. I was in the place close to heaven.
I got what I wished for, needed or wanted. I was wanted. I was pampered. More than anything I was not exposed to anything that distresses humans.
Though people crave for a metro-city living with perks of having malls, high end stores, extravagant food joints at a spitting distance, I was very satisfied living in the two-bedroom rented apartment in my small town. It was so peaceful to be away of unnecessary stuff that clutter your mind for no reason. I believe in living simple.
Life was simple. Get up - Do your chores - Pray - Eat - To school - Back from school - fresh - eat - play - pray - read - watch tv - dinner - sleep was my routine till I was 14. I was happy. I was in the top lot at school. Loved by all.
But the perfect never lasts a life time.
With passing of the mother, life took a sharp turn and almost prod me to be a more mature person than I was mentally.
That was my moment of epiphany when I had suddenly been exposed to the fact that I was all alone to live with my miseries.
No parent can be your shield all the time. No siblings can be a part of your agonies. No friends can bring you comfort every time you feel lost.
Complexities jumped over me as if I was the easiest, most vulnerable pray.
Unwanted things started to barge in.
Unimportant stuff began to make their presence felt.
Unbearable instances initiated themselves in my life.
Then I heard someone close say to me - "Life is not what we want but what is given. Life is not what we expect but get. No point in life is a end but a bend in the road. All you got to do is keep moving on - AHEAD"
And I smiled again. Embracing the fact that no one has the control over life. Hence why be sad for a thing that's out of our capacity? Rather jump into the chaos and see where it takes us!
Life is beautiful, just like a rose garden. Some perish, some blooms and spread fragrances. Its cycle. Its meant to happen. Just go with the flow and learn to live fullest. That's 'Epiphany of my life'.
