CHAPTER-ONE

Do you ever sit and look outside into the vast space with infinite thoughts passing your mind?

I do. This is how I spend my "Me time".

I often sit with my lone self and think about the times where I had to accept and let go. The acceptance didn’t come to me easily, it doesn’t come easily to us, always. Life forces us to grow up at times and get matured.

How trees shed their leaves every year during autumn, how the fallen leaves are crushed like decayed souls, yet the trees stand upright? I guess it hurts them too to accept that once what was a part of it and grew up with it, is existing no more.

But with the crumbling and crushing of each leaf, a new life begins, just like how letting go of one thing in your life brings with it a new hope, a new beginning.

We know how beautiful sunsets are. But is it beautiful only because it’s visibly pleasant? Or is it because back in our minds, we know that sunset brings with it the hope for a better day tomorrow? I know, at times it gets hard to accept things and let it go, but every aspect of our lives has its own pros and cons and everything that happens, happens for a reason.

As I sit with a book on a winter morning, over a cup of hot coffee and slow music from the 70's or 80's and witness how the morning unfolds at noon, the chirping of the birds slowly fades and the sun gets brighter.

How things change from one thing to another! It teaches you acceptance. It teaches you to not hold onto one thing and remain stuck.

I remember my father used to say that it is okay to feel what you are feeling, but it is more important to be practical and not expect much because that hurts you less in life ahead.

The irony is, I had to accept and let go of my father too, and as I pen this down, I can’t stop my tears running down my cheeks, as I remember his voice, his warmth, his smell and him as a person.

He left, but his teachings will remain with me forever.

Acceptance and letting go are two major things in life, and if you can adapt this in yourself, you can grow up as an individual in a better way.

WELL NOT GONNA LIE I CRIED WHILE READING THIS EITHER IT MIGHT BE BECAUSE OF NOT READING THIS EARLIER OR THE SADNESS OF MY TEACHER. IN MY OPINION, EVEN THOUGH LOTS OF THINGS ARE HAPPENING IN OUR LIVES WE SHOULD NOT STOP BECAUSE OF JUST A MERE OBSTACLE. YEAH, SOMETIMES IT BECOMES A BIT HARD BUT WHY SHOULD WE DWELL ON IT. THE THING WHICH IS ALREADY DONE WE CAN'T REPLACE THAT. IT IS A REMINDER TO STOP OVERTHINKING AND GET YOUSELF MOVING. YOU WILL DEFINITELY SEE THE GOOD LATER .

WELL BACK TO THE POINT, PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU FELT WHILE READING THIS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SPARING SOME TIME (⁠人⁠ ⁠•͈⁠ᴗ⁠•͈⁠).

PS- THIS DAMN WORD LIMIT MADE ME RIGHT MY OPINION TOO(⁠ノ⁠ಠ⁠益⁠ಠ⁠)⁠ノ⁠彡⁠┻⁠━⁠┻.

THANKS AGAIN༼⁠;⁠´⁠༎ຶ⁠ ⁠۝ ⁠༎ຶ⁠༽
