Ohmygoodness..............

What a beautiful suprise...........

Count your blessings

Lately I've seen the loved ones of friends leaving one after another. Seems like in recent years, these numbers are gradually increasing. As i watch them mourn, I feel utterly helpless cos there isn't anything I can do to make them feel better.

And because I've had my virgin experience of having my most loved one leave, I can emphatize greatly. But on the contary, I'm contented that I was there to tell them 'My condolences'.

Because at that time when I felt the worst in my life, the best friend I was expecting a simple call, a simple text, a simply hug, wasn't there.

I did not bear grudges that this person did not come to the wake. Neither did I blame. It was just your usual expectations turned disappointments scenarios.

But Life is about laughing your saddest moments away. I did not stop at that. I continued giving whatever I could. I continued listening to the troubles, I continued asking 'What are you up to for today', I continued getting this person a share of everything (or most) I had. More often than not, I wasn't expecting a favour in return.

& it is undeniable that the more you give in, the more they take you for granted. You see, the word here is reciprocate. How does a person reciprocate? By writing assurance letters? By cheap talks? What?

While someone else comes in to try to be a mediator, you have to pick an appropriate person. Really? A logically sound person doesn't take sides but tries to salvage the situation to its best. No, this logically sound person will take sides yeah?

My take will be that ignorance and no actions taken would mean not bothering about it. This is a plain and comprehensive thought.

And till today, I'd still say this. All I ever wanted was to be remembered by people I love.

'Hey what are you doing? Let's have lunch together later'

'What happened?' (Spend time comforting)

'I'm getting your favourite food/snack. I'll get one for you'

'Can you come with me to ________?'

'We've never watched a movie together. Next week maybe?'

'Can I come over to your crib? I'm bored'

After all these days that nothing's happened, I know it's not time to sulk anymore. It is to divert the attention to those who deserve it more. Because at this point of time, the most expensive gift deserves to live in the bin, not anymore in my most treasured closet.

Morale of the story : Count your blessings, not ruin them.
