I want you to know

Toast to the ones here today Toast to the the ones that we lost on the way Death Die These words have flowed out of my mouth easily in past. Now? I hesitate. I have believed that the worst part about dying is not being remembered by the ones you loved. Now I wonder, lesser the casualties, the better, isn't it? I blame Hazel Grace Lancaster for putting these thoughts in my mind. Wouldn't I want less people to be hurt by my soul leaving the body? Wouldn't I want my loved ones to be happy after me? Would I want them to be crying after me? So I guess the question is can you think of them without hurting yourself and other survivors. Strictly speaking, I want less people to be hurt over me after me. But I believe the worst thing I can do to my not-alive-loved-one would be to not think of him and forget him.

Romance, love, poetry and beauty are what we are alive for. And you say you are afraid to fall in love. You are afraid to end up with a broken heart and ...

So I was watching this movie 'Life as we know it' and got inspired to write this piece. The thing is I believe it to be true. If only we realize it, we could be happier. Not that I am saying that happiness is your goal, but isn't it? Here it goes, Life is unpredictable. It throws curveballs your way , all the time. It doesn't follow your plan. It will give you things irrespective of your opinion on your preparedness or your wants. It just happens and cannot be undone. There is something you can do about it. Accept it. Embrace it.
