Don’t depend; you are on your own.
While travelling through metro today, I saw this lady who
was a north-eastern, standing with huge bag on her back and loads of money in
her pocket. She was in her night dress, in metro with her sister or a friend, I
don’t know. I managed to get a seat and was busy in untangling my ear phones
which always messes up. As soon as, I untangled and got busy in listen to
songs, my sight goes on this lady’s wrist. And I was horrified. What I looked
at, wasn’t what I see rarely, but still I was like “what the heck!”
Now you all must be wondering “aisa bhi kya dekha”, so this
lady, about whom I am talking since last 10 lines, had huge cuts of knife,
starting from her elbow and ending on her wrist. No single place was vacant on
her wrist. It was all cuts and bruises. The first thought that came to my mind
was, what could be the reason behind this torcher she made herself go through?
A lot of us go through a lot in life. And for many of us, relationships out of
our family are sort of escapism from what we face around us. This type relationship
is the most fragile one; everything and anything can lead to the biggest
mistakes of one’s life. No I am not talking of virginity here; virginity is no
more called a MISTAKE. I am talking about the suicidal tendencies that are
growing in numbers, day to day.
Sometimes not even a relationship, but family matters and
all stuff like that, makes one do so. Cutting wrist, eating some medicine,
drinking poison etc. have turned like a game, for people nowadays. I know and
understand life is not easy to live. But, if you are so weak that anyone and
everyone can have access to take away your life, then life becomes hell. We
all, including me, need to learn every single day that, we, at any point of
life are living for ourselves and are on our own. We cannot be dependent on
anyone, and cannot expect that someone would bring peace in our life, because
to have peace in life, one has to be in peace within them.
Nothing can raise you in life if you are yourself
demoralized and nothing can bring you down if you are respecting your
inner-self more than any damn thing around. This doesn’t mean that you start
misbehaving with your parents or with anyone, as that would again disturb your
peace of mind. But this surely means that we need to grow up, stop punishing
ourselves for things we aren’t even responsible for, tic for tat might work a lot of times but not every time. Value
yourself; don’t expect that someone else would do it for you. Remember, you
came to this alone, you will leave alone. You were never ever born to satisfy
or live on other’s terms but was born to live on your own terms.
