Chai with Archita: Only If, Life had a Manual
Wouldn’t it be easy if life had a manual for how can we manage life? Wouldn’t it be easy if everything goes according to your wish and plans? Wouldn’t it be boring, though?
No one can actually figure out their life, but why do you want it figured out, anyway? You can plan your future (heard of the word ‘security’ right?) but the beauty of life is in its uncertainty. It can be awful as hell, I agree, but the universe will keep bringing problems to you until you learn from it correctly.
you have a picture to paint
you have the freedom to choose your colors
you have a thought — of that beautiful picture yet to be colored —
still uncertain
all you have to do is pick your colors —
and paint your thought
make that certain
make it real
Many times I feel so stuck and lost that no matter how hard my brain’s Google map tries to find routes for my destination, it always ends up re-routing. Has it ever happened to you? If yes, then you are not alone; if no I’m happy for you! (share your coping mechanism tips, I need them badly!).
We, humans, are a combination of bones and flesh managing to manage emotions and life in this world.
sometimes
life can feel like a warzone —
you battling with people
you battling with yourself
life can also feel like
a beautiful garden
smelling hopes,
filled with utter love and
fresh flowers.
life can be overwhelming
and numb
someday
you just wanna scream
and on another
you wish to sink into the silence
and just feel.
it’s unpredictable, uncertain, yet nurturing.
I’m genuinely proud of you for your choice to wake up and face yourself, without giving up, on the sunny days when life fails to give you hope.
Here’s a song for you :)
