You're bugged by a set of colleagues...bugged for fun... all in good fun... and then realise that these fun times don't last forever.. they will end.. they will change..maybe sooner or maybe later.
You have coffee with a good friend... and then realise that people can change... and you never know what could come out of this friendship... are you to be reserved and be cautious of everyone you meet because of things that a handful of people have put you through? or just do good and be you.... coz you never have wrong or bad intentions?
Someone passes a remark or says something relating to the way you look, your weight.... and it brings tears to your eyes, coz that person didn't take a moment to think that there could be a reason to why you're the way you look... there could be health problems... and other things that add to it and as much as it frustrates you on and off, hearing something like that can really get to you..
You badly want to feel a dog's love.... and have had no way of owning a pet for a while... and then you buy yogurt for the dog who lives in the office car park and feel a sense of satisfaction and inexplicable appreciation when the cute creature starts to lick away the yogurt and wags her tail every time she sees you with the look in her eyes which says or asks 'yogurt again?' :)
You are driving your car and is stuck in a traffic jam after a tiring day at work... and look at a crowded bus.. and realise how lucky and thankful you're for the comforts you have... coz what you have and may not appreciate or value could be something someone else is dreaming of getting one day..
Someone you considered a friend talks behind your back and you get to know about it... and the same person pretends like nothing ever happened and talks to you in all normality... and you wonder and watch everything you say... while in your head, a tiny voice with a touch of pain is telling you to walk away coz you will take time to forget about it...
You were just getting into a gym routine and something comes along to screw it up for you, like continuous asthma attacks all of a sudden.. and you're unable to gym for a while... and you begin to feel so unhealthy and lazy... that you start to feel crappy again and wonder when you can get back on track.. is just not fun.
One person gives you nice hugs... and you know that as much as it feels good, it's fake and will fade away at some point in time... sooner or later..
You've come to a point in life where everything that happens in life is seen to be temporary... and you wait for the bad things to go away quickly... and for the good things to come and stay on for longer... but it's the exact opposite that happens... or maybe that's just the way we feel it.

ReplyDeleteIgnore the two-faced people, the insensitive jerks and the fakers. Accept that people will change and there's nothing you can do about it. That you can't live upto the high benchmarks that you set for yourself all the time. Just take time to live and love the people around you. Could be your mother, your brother or the girl from office who brings you bananas. Hugs :)
ReplyDeletePeople change. And sometimes people are brought into our lives for a short season. Not every friendship is meant to last forever, it's a part of life, and the quicker we accept that, the better. Hugs. :)
ReplyDeleteHugs Ld I think cadence put it down in the best words!
ReplyDeleteKeep smiling sweetie, the people who matter will always be there for you!
ReplyDeleteWhat's wrong with the way you look? WHY are your emotions conforming to stupid, narrow-minded superficial norms ah? Take pride in those curvaliscious fabulous hips of yours, woman.... they're far more sensuous than some skinny anorexic twig.
ReplyDeleteAs for the friends talking behind your back... I'd say be the example and ask them directly if the rumour of their backstabbing is true or not. You did, after all, hear it from someone else and not for yourself. there are always two sides to every story.
P.S.I think yoghurt dog has discovered the art of manipulations, because you're not the only one melting and giving in to that wagging tail!
