You will get by.....

Saw a couple listening to something in the cab next to me. They were sharing the same wired earphone, just like their hearts with his head on her shoulder. I wanted to know what were they listening to, what was it that kept them glued together like that but soon the signal turned green. And just like that something crumbled, something shattered I looked at my chest and it was a hoard of memories that broke my heart again.
Do we really find love again or do we experience the highest form of it only once in our lifetime when we used to love someone with our everything and search for it for the rest of our lives in others until we realise that it was always within us?
Reached home, tuned into some Gazals and the song Phero Na Najiriya took me somewhere I didn’t wanna go at all. Ever blasted music at full volume, in dire hope that you would not be able to hear those voices inside your head? You tell them to shut the f*** up, but they won't. They just keep coming back.
If you end up together it’s love, if you parted ways it’s a love story, But if it never began, it’s poetry. Isn’t it?
And it just stuck me that - Aren’t we all just damaged collages? Bits and pieces of other people who were never ours? Making us full of colours but so much different than we hoped, imagined and wanted ourselves to be. I mean look at yourself and tell me, had you ever thought that you would have made it this far? Your friends might have played a crucial role in helping you heal yourself, but it was you all along who had pulled yourself out of the bed when you didn’t want to, took care of yourself even when everything was falling into pieces. Do yourself a favour and listen to them, the voices in your head, after-all it’s your alter ego trying to have a just a little pep talk with you.
Personally I feel you must suffer in order to realise what you want. You must have gone through impeccable pain so as to understand what is it that you truly desire. And a big part of 20's is about going through this, making difficult choices and missing out on a lot of things. And as Jordan B. Peterson said "You need to sacrifice your weaker self to your stronger self in order to grow". It doesn't really matter if people don't get you at times, all that matters if you do. Outgrow yourself.
Tip: A good way to deal with dilemmas is to flip a coin and listen to yourself, cause when the coin is in the air you would have already made your choice irrespective of the outcome, follow that.
