Life is short, live everyday....
That's just what everyone might say.
But life,
It's BIG.
It's LONG.
Oh heck, it's WIDE!
Let no one tell you otherwise.
Your first 20yrs may seem like the assurance of a "happily ever after" if done correctly.
But there is no correct way.
Everyday, may seem like you are not doing anything worth, life is so short.
But it's not.
Take your time.
Do things you love and do something for your loved ones.
Yes, there is a lot of time for most of us,
But remember , there is no time to waste.
Yes life's unpredictable.
And that is another reason for you ,to do you, everyday, step by step.
No, long life isn't assured, but if we make ourselves miserable thinking our life will be better if we do a 1000 things a day, we are still wasting it
No one will live our life.
We will.
Embrace each day you get, cuz many don't get a next day.
Live like you have to live forever.
Speed things up for your excitement, not because your life will be ruined if you don't.
You. Have. Time.
A lot. Or. A little.
You. Have. Control.
Live time. It's not to waste.

Stuff's pretty miserable. I don't feel good. I don't even know how I feel, I guess its loneliness even though I do have lovely people around...I literally don't know...
Started to feel like there is something wrong w/ me. My circle is not one which resonates with me, I still love them but no one is ever "just there for me". 17 ,and still don't have a "bff" other than my sister and mother. My cousins aren't a fan of me either, have one who is my same age but still matches "vibes" with my younger sister. We were great 2 yrs ago but...
I try so hard to be nice to people, yet I see people effortlessly happy, I wonder why I make any extra effort, no one has to, they get on fine without thinking much. Sometimes I feel sick of feeling so much and not being able to cry.
Things which give me happiness like writing or reading novels or photography or nerding out on cosmology etc., I can't do any of it without being guilt stricken every singe minute. Even as I write this I realize I need to complete my Chemistry notes and physics assignments and practice math, afterall its 12th grade, the LIFE DECIDING YEAR... but I seem to do neither hard work for 12th marks nor extra stuff I like.
Sometimes, when I like ,sit down to think, I feel like I'm a no-one sitting in middle of nowhere , meaning nothing to anyone except my family and teachers. I AM REPLACEABLE. The worst thought... I am not an indispensable part of anyone's life other than my family (which is obvious I guess + cuz they are lovely coping up with me)...
No, I don't hate myself. I love myself. I just am at a phase where nothing is moving...All still...and in that stillness, I feel... not very happy.
I wished so much after I came out of 10th, but my life has been nothing but monotonous...
The people I thought were a gift to me, turns out I don't matter that much to them, and I feel guilty of expecting too much. Still, I wonder, is it too much to expect some kind of care or support from people who claim to be yours? Maybe, it is.
We are mosaics --
pieces of light,
love,
history,
stars--
Glued together
with
magic
and music
and words.

Growing up in this world is strange.
As people get older,
friends become the family they choose,
and family-by-birth?
well, it starts to come second to everything.
It grows apart.
It becomes stranger.
Strangers, whom we aren't responsible for,
whom we don't wish to understand,
whos presence start to make us feel embarrassed.
And relatives, oh, the biggest villains of us GenZs.
They make our lives miserable, they lower our self esteem, they gossip a LOT!
Really? Hmmm,
Well, were they the villains when they clapped for you while you had two left feet?
Were they the worst, when they gave you gift money as blessing every time they saw you?
Were they the gossipers when they spread smallest of your success in whole wide world?
Yeah, growing up here is strange,
Where Strangers become family ,
And family...
It becomes too much to handle...

The biggest yet the most painful thing one learns while growing up is that, Nothing Lasts Forever. Time flies, things change , people and places change and so do our relations with them.
Even in any sitcom , you see the cast not only bond on screen but also in real life. Yet , as years go by, they get busy and we hardly see them together. We are left, wondering, if they still matter to each other as much as they used to. What changed? In life, we learn, nothing ever doesn't change. And no matter how much it hurts our heart and makes us weep, we can't control it. The Art of letting go is mastered by few fortunate people. As for people like me ,I still get tears seeing the last season of Girl Meets World, realizing that thunder and lighting was not forever, time and distance came in between, something and everything changed. I get broken-hearted , keep wishing for their caste reunion and Happy Ending. But turns out, that's life.
No matter how much it sucks, each and every life any human lives, it is full of forevers turning to nevers...
