Once in your Lifetime, I promise. . .

You’ll meet a person who’ll annoy you so much, you’ll want to tear your hair out from its roots, and the person will tag on to you like a tail. You’ll also meet a person whom you’ll admire so much, they might just give a new meaning to respect and meaningful existence, and you might just know them for a fleeting instance.

You’ll do something you know is forbidden, and particularly enjoy it. You’ll also do something almost religiously prescribed and curse yourself for doing it.

You’ll find that in the most attractive fruit lies the bitterest juice. You’ll also find that the most rotten looking fruit will soothe every inch, every fiber of your being with its pure, juicy essence.

You’ll fall in love with hatred, give birth to hatred for love, become a cynic and curse life as a whole and death would seem a better option. You’ll also appreciate the pristine, indomitable beauty of living, the inevitable darkness and finality of death and the sheer joy of breathing fresh air.

You’ll never tread the untrodden path that your feet longed to feel. You’ll also carve yourself a future out of something you’ve sworn to avoid and find yourself enjoying it.

You’ll run for a mile in someone’s shoes you prayed you’d never have to wear, and would have traded with your own shoes any day. You’ll also run for a mile in your own shoes and wish you had someone else’s shoes beneath your delicate sole.

You’ll find that you’ve lost something that means your existence to you. You’ll also find that whatsoever meant your existence only left to give you another more meaningful, more pure, more enthralling reason to live.

You’ll find yourself compelled to love the person you can never bring yourself to like. You’ll also find yourself compelled to hate a person you can never bring yourself to not-love.

You’ll find yourself sheathing the darkest realms of you from the ones you love. You’ll also find yourself exposing it, without your own knowledge, to your most-feared enemy.

You’ll find yourself forced to do good for no reason. You’ll also find yourself harmed for doing good.

You’ll find that nothing goes according to plan, life’s messed up, you’re on the verge of breaking down and jumping from a crevice is the most rational, suitable thing to do.

Then always remember, every step on hot coal, every little tear, every small smile, every large chunk of happiness is the part of a larger plan made by the Heavens Above. Nothing will ever go as planned, cause you’re never the Planner at all.

What you want is not what you need. What you need is not what you want.

Three words sum it all up: Life Goes On.
