Beware the glimmer that hope brings if you have an active imagination.
Beware that uplifting feeling that comes to most of us who allow happiness to walk it and embrace it in a tight hug.
Beware expressing this happiness and hope even to those who make you feel loved.
This is not to discourage you, nor is it an attempt at being a morbid cynic. This is just from the experience of a 26 year old, who refused to accept happiness and then went against her own rules, to be once again forced to go back into her shell.
Never count your chickens before they hatch and never count your blessings aloud. You my friend are the biggest jinx on your fortunes as when you start being content with your destiny, providence finds a way to make you realise it's never an easy road.
We all have walls and we all meet people who make us want to tear them down and be ourselves. Very often these are the people who will shun you once you those walls are down as you stand before them, exposed and vulnerable. It's not that they are bad. They are probably fighting demons of their own. They are probably not even aware that you have torn those walls down, cause they stopped noticing once you told them they mean a lot to you.
Such is the irony in life. You get what you deserve, and then you do stuff to un-deserve the good. If only it were just as easy to be detached from such people or better, turn back time and be done with them.
There is no place for fear in the world of human relationships it is said. I disagree. Fear is what helps you preserve your sanity in times of romantic highs and keeps you grounded when you feel that person you always adored and loved is at your disposal.
Nothing is more pathetic than someone claiming to be in love, and then taking his or her object of love for granted. Do not be that object.
I may have a totally different list of Do's and Don'ts for the 30 year old me when I am 35, but here today, these are the hings I would want to tell you.
Never let people in when you are aware they are volatile and will never put you before themselves. Your efforts and your communication will be of no use. You will be called stupid for writing a mail if you are missing them and you will be laughed at or your spirit crushed for your achievements. If you want to take it in stride, make sure it is worth it. Do not in any form compromise your spirit for another's sense freedom and importance. NEVER EVER SETTLE.
There will be good days. There is no denying. You will be surprised to the point that you feel on top of the world. You will be showered with adoration and love. Remember it is fleeting. Remember that it is also important to hold on to these moments long enough to give a friendship or relationship all your effort, and remember to let go when these friendships and relationships start taking your spirit away or worse, crushing it.
I am an angry person today. Most importantly, remember to remain a happy person, so that you don't need to welcome happiness in your life all over again. It's always there then and no one can take it away. Once you let anger in, it's almost like the most stubborn stain on your whitest linen..it just won't go!
