Walking Images

Images of life running like a movie in front of your eyes and all you are trying to do is find yourself in it and the role that you are trying to play each time. Unlike movies, where actors play one role at a time, life lets you experience multiple facets of role-playing and rating yourself at different instances and also learning from it. 

How many of us actually take these roles as they come or fight it out like the kid wishing for that orange colour lollipop hoping his tongue to turn orangy? It has taken me time to realise, accept and play the roles that come my way in a way that maybe nobody else did. Obviously, I am a debut at it each time. So now, coming to these roles and their demands. Do we just do what they expect us or do we twist it as per fantasies or more so our comfort?

Imagination has its way of taking you to a different world. Like, a crazy dream of mine where I am reading the obituary of a very dear friend of mine who lost her life to Cancer. And the twist in the dream was the girl whose obituary I saw was her sister. There was a phase where my friends were telling me, worry not, she is alive. However, once I was up, it took me into another loop of thoughts as to why did I get that dream? Wish, we could find answers to all those questions.

Twenty four hours, 1440 minutes, a second, each moment to feel completely alive, cherish and forever. To gain, to lose, to break free, to hold on - isn't that an ongoing process of finding oneself amongst the crowd? How does one become a believer, a go-getter, an achiever, a giver and not just a mere receiver? An important, impeccable element of one's life consists of giving back in some way to this world, this humongous, marvellous, mammoth that let you experience your tiny little world at your own pace with some borrowed space. Each day, when I wake up, I ask myself, am I doing something in giving back or am I being selfish by taking away whatever I get to safe keep?

Being a child, I was always given values to share and care, to smile and dare, to go forward and play, never to back down and give up. These simple values have built in such an unshakable structure inside that it doesn't agree to let go even when it knows that it might end up ruining everything.

So, the question is, where does one stop and how? How does one ask for help when all through life the lessons learnt were to fight it out and never give up? Apparently, life has its brilliant way of showing that you are just a follower and the remote control is never in your control at least of your life. Thus, the only choice left is to go by what comes and keep moving forward and never look back unless it's to cherish a smile or a memory so divine.x
