The Eternal

This one's for you, Sunshine. We'll be forever more, best friends for life.

Something about what lies ahead. This is the most hidden part of me thats finding a way out here. Confusions, if any, are understandable.

Here are a few questions that have been bothering me for sometime now.

How many times have all of us felt devastated when something we didn't even imagine in our wildest dreams to happen, happened at a blink?

How many times has our world, or should I say, our own little world, made up of all what we hold dear, has come falling apart, like in one of those sci-fi movies?

How many of us have spent at least one night thinking, wondering, contemplating and crying as never before because things were worse than ever?

How many times have a few things made us believe that with them coming to an end, our life comes to a stand still, a dead end, with nowhere to go?

How many times has such a particular 'change' happened in our lives, that has left us completely helpless, at times at will of the others, though it's not fair on them?

Change. A mere change.

There might hardly be a few people who haven't gone through a transition, that has completely changed them, changed their relationships, and changed the way they think. And despite that, this is the one thing, which we fear the most. Change.

But the thing we forget is, that even after everything we hold dear has changed, we are still there, broken, beat and scarred, but still very much alive to face another day bringing something new. Did I say alive? Well at times, all we need to know about being alive, is that we are still present, here and now.

A new day, a new beginning. Easier said than done, right?

Let's look at a seed. It transforms itself into a sapling, then a plant, then a tree. Soon it blossoms, and we have fruits. We take the fruits, cut the branches. It sheds it's leaves, becomes completely different from what it was last spring. But life does not end there. It's always alive, getting back to the form it was. Providing shade, flowers and fruits.

How easy all of it seems. It was a tree, it remained a tree. What was the change?

It's the process of breaking or being broken, and then making yourself again.

For the past couple of weeks, I have been dealing with a change in my life. And no, it hasn't been easy. I went through all the questions I asked, and here I am. Yes, it has changed. But why to look at it as a dead end? Why not a new start to something more beautiful?

Pondering over it, all I can say is that change is eternal. No beginning, no ending. Perpetual and enduring.

Change.

All I can say is, that I am sorry. I took something as an end. And I am glad to say that I have finally realised that it's not an end, but a new beginning. Whatever led to the change, happened. What it was, it was beautiful, and I cherished every moment of it. And what it will be, we'll make it better. To us, Sunshine. Cheers.
