Past Present Future

You can never go back to what you were. I can never go back to what I was. Our experiences change us. We evolve mentally, physically and emotionally with time. You need to accept yourself the way you’re now. Don’t think of the past, the things which made you happy. It’s in the past. Those people, those things which used to make you happy, aren’t there anymore. So find happiness in the things, the people you have now. Let bygones be bygones. Focus of present, because your present will shape your future. Always remember this.

Never Lose Hope

You’ll fall. You’re supposed to fall. That is inevitable. ‘Sometimes’ you have people around you, who will help you, to get up, but mostly this is not the case. You fall down. You’re hurt. You feel like giving up. But that’s what life is all about. So get used to it. Get used to of falling down and getting hurt. Because that’s how we learn and evolve. And then, you pick yourself up. You guide yourself. You LEARN from your mistakes. Always remember this, “the people you expect to be around, will not always be around, so you need to trust only one person, and that one person is YOU”. When it’s dark, you light your way and guide yourself home. People are temporary. YOU are constant, in your life. Trust yourself. Believe in yourself. No matter how hard it gets, never lose hope.

Excuses

I need some air.
I need some space.
I need to go.

Though the
sentences are different.
But they all mean the same.
They’re just.

Excuses to leave.
Excuses to run away.
Excuses to break a heart.

Cocoon.

You’ve been gone.

It now feels like it’s been forever.

I know, you’re not coming back,

and this forever is going to end, never.
Life doesn’t stop, for anyone, now I know.

Time doesn’t stop, for anyone, now I know.

Lived my whole life in a cocoon, trying to be safe,

but, now, I need to step out, to see this world.

I thought you were my world, little did I know,

how wrong was I, for the real world awaits outside.

But this feeling of emptiness can never be filled,

It’s going to take me a while to accept this.
You’ve been gone.

It now feels like it’s been forever.

I know, you’re not coming back,

and, this, forever is going to end, never.
