Temporary Things

Everything has a time-period. This all is temporary; nothing is permanent here.

I don’t remember how many times I felt sad and how many times my heart was filled with happiness. I don’t remember how many times I felt lonely and alone. These feelings come and go constantly, in the same way, people do in our life. My life is the sky and these feelings are the clouds in it.

I feel funny that I once used to think how I could live without something/someone. Well, I am still alive without those. Things or people do not control our life unless we ourselves let our life to be controlled. Those hopes and hopelessness are long gone now. I have new ones.

I used to wish (maybe I still do) to have a group of few friends, living in the same neighborhood and being together always. Perhaps, this was childish of me because it ain’t practical. Friendships change. The strengths of relations change. Either it gets stronger or it weakens.

Only on the departures, we actually feel how fast the time flies. Our month long vacation becomes just a mere few days to us when it ends. It feels like just a few times ago that I joined college but the reality is I am two years past my college days already. I was happier than the happiest while travelling and that joy lasted for those few days only; I was feeling blues over the end of the tour and that sadness was just for the time being.

People come and go. Some might gonna stay in our life forever but the ‘forever’ also comes with the expiry date. If only we could check the expiry date of ‘forever’ as we do on the materials we buy, it would be better to know it beforehand but well, we cannot buy ‘forever’ from the stores.

Things get normal eventually.

Like a cup of coffee, that I just finished sipping. A couple of minutes and it’s already past. But it did make my taste buds feel something, if not fully satisfied. And there are always more cups of coffee on the way to wait for.

Or like the ripples - even the smallest of stone on hitting the water can generate it, and they make peace with water after taking their time. They are impacts, short-lived but considerable enough.

Things will change with time; change is inevitable.

The sun and the moon are but permanent. They are permanent in their existence, in the fact that they are there. Days and nights are not.

Before the time rushes to the expiry date, let’s try to make our aliveness more lively and not waste precious time to nitpick the procedure of change that is happening every moment that we would just not realize until a while later.

I call it the wonder of life and the beauty of its temporary elements.

In the hope, that things will get better soon :)
