Hope

We don’t always get what we want, what we deserve. Not everyone is lucky. I’ve struggled a lot in my life, and I’m still struggling. I had dreams. Big ass dreams. Couldn’t fulfill all of it. Because that’s life. Sometimes we don’t get what we want, so we need to learn to find happiness in what we have. If we are destined to do something big in life, we will do it, when the time is right. There’s a phrase in Hindi, which we need to learn by heart and respect it, “waqt se pehle, aur naseeb se zada kisi ko kuch nahi milta”. I’m not trying to demotivate any of you here. I am just telling you to face the truth. And keep working hard, so that someday you will reach that point in your life where you can actually try to fulfill all your dreams and live your life the way you always wanted to live. Accept the reality, but never lose hope. Hope is what keeps the fire within us, alive.

Writer’s life.

We’re going to keep writing, forever,
for, we can never stop,
for, we won’t stop.
We can never be empty,
empty, of emotions and feelings,
’cause, just like a jar,
when it’s empty,
someone comes and fills it again,
and that’s the beauty of it,
of us, of everyone who writes.
They can never stop,
for, it’s an endless loop,
and endless cycle.
We feel. We write. We vent.
We do it all over again.
– Words matter.
– Abhishek Gupta.

Why?

It’s your choice, to choose,
happiness over sadness.
I’ve heard this, from many.
Well, I chose happiness.
I chose bliss, over sorrow.
I chose freedom.
Then why am I still imprisoned,
inside my own head, with sadness?
Why am I still, alone, trapped with rage?
If it was my choice, then,
why am I still drenched in
pain, sorrow, and suffering?
Maybe, ’cause, I chose happiness,
but happiness, didn’t choose me.
– Bipolarity.

Be truthful.

Why lying to someone, anyone,
that you love them, care about them,
When you have no such feelings, in actuality?
Why faking that love, that care, that affection,
When you don’t have it for that person?
What’s the point of being hideous here?
You tell them, that you care,
and that person believes you,
and then, what do you do?
You shun them when they need you.
You break their heart, for you lied, to them.
Why this duality?
Embrace what you are.
You don’t like somebody?
You don’t want that somebody, to be around?
Tell them, that you don’t want them.
But don’t be a dual faced person,
Who makes the life of others, miserable.
How would you feel, if someone,
you consider your own, someone you love,
someone you think care about you,
would do the same with you?
Feeling it, yet?
That emotional breakdown,
That feeling of betrayal,
That trust being getting
hammered into pieces?
Stop being frivolous.
Embrace your reality.
Embrace yourself.
Be truthful, to yourself,
and to others.
Love is divine.
Or at least it is considered.
So don’t make it dirty,
with your heinous acts.
– Love and be loved.
– Abhishek Gupta.

Anger.

All these years, all this time,
This rage inside of you, this anger,
It has all accumulated, inside,
waiting to burst out, to bring destruction,
to bring the wrath, upon everyone.
This anger, you can use it either,
to bring destruction or use it,
to achieve everything in your life,
which you always desired,
which you always wanted.
All you need to do is, use it wisely.
Forge your anger and displace it,
to a place where it’ll help you,
help you to excel, succeed, win.
Anger, if used, in a proper way,
displaced to a proper place,
can help you find and explore,
a person, who was concealed inside,
a person, thriving for success,
who was, all this time, hidden inside you.
He can help you, to get what you want,
to become what you thrive to be.
To win this quest, to search this person,
you need to embrace this anger, and,
use it to solve this quest, to find where is he.
– Anger, if used properly, is the key.
– Abhishek Gupta. 

Pretentious.

There’s a difference between,

Luxurious and Exorbitant lifestyle.

Why do we need to show,

that we have an extraordinary life,

a life, better than the rest of the humans?

A baller, leads an extravagant life,

and it’s something understandable,

but why do we need to pretend, 

pretend to be a baller, 

when we’re not, what’s the catch?

Ordinary people, we all are,

Ordinary, is our lifestyle,

and it is not something 

we should be ashamed of, 

why should we be?

The most successful people,

Those billionaires you know,

you’ve heard of, who have become,

what they’re today, by sheer struggle,

did you know, prefers to live, a minimalist life.

‘Cause, it’s beautiful.

‘Cause, it’s amazing.

‘Cause, it’s quintessential.

– Don’t be pretentious.

Proud.

You grew up too early, kid.
Things never were easy for you, I know.
You were left alone, you were just a kid.
A kid afraid of this humongous world,
but you couldn’t show.

You couldn’t make friends,
You lived in a world of your own.
You cried alone, you didn’t go out much,
No one was there to console you, help you,
You did that, too, on your own.

Things were not easy for you,
But you understood everything,
Never complained to mom and dad,
Why did they go away to work,
Leaving you all alone.
For you understood,
they did that, for you.

You faced all the problems,
Which a kid wasn’t supposed
to handle on his own, but you did.
You did and you overcame those barriers,
and you excelled at whatever you did.

It’s me, your future self.
I’m writing this letter,
on behalf of your family
and me, to tell you,

” You brave, brave little boy,
We’re so proud of you. ”
