Bundle of thoughts!

Right now, at this very moment, a child must have been born with no arms, a mother must have given birth to a dead child, a family must have lost their beloved member, a teenage girl must have been raped and you're sitting there and crying about why God has been unfair with you? You're sitting in a calm place, sobbing, telling yourself that you're worth nothing, nobody loves you, you have rotten luck, you're good for nothing, then you're definitely highly mistaken. Be grateful to God, that you have a perfectly functioning body with all parts intact, be grateful that you get education, be grateful you have clothes to wear, be grateful you have such loving parents, be grateful that you're so privileged! I must have mentioned this one to many times but nothing changes the fact that we're the most self centered people alive. 

A thousand thoughts are in my mind at this very minute, revolving around in utter confusion. How selfish can people be? Someone once rightly said, in your happy times, you're going to see a lot of faces around you, but when your sad and you want someone to listen to you, ask you how you're doing, suddenly all the faces you have seen all through, disappear. You're in desperate need of at least one person to ask you how you're doing or what's wrong, and there's no one. Not even one single soul. You feel so alone now. You feel like there's no one out there for you. And then you think to yourself, you have done so much for people, helped them when you couldn't but you still did anyways and those people don't have the courtesy to ask you whether you're fine? Seriously, this is what the world has come to? 

You're crying, people can see you cry and not one of them ask you why are you crying. You're sad, people know you're sad, and not one of them question it. How horrible is that feeling? A lot of teenagers have issues at home, a lot of them don't have friends because they're made fun of, used and thrown not by their boyfriends alone but they're friends who they thought would stand by them and so many other problems and yet I see so many, putting up brave fronts and crying their eyes out at home. 

Sometimes your dreams shatter down and people tell you that you deserve so much more better and you're worth much more and that God has planned something better for you and you're just there not listening to anything that people say, because when your drams are shattered, nothing hurts more. Words are powerful yes, but not when you have lost something you wanted so bad, nothing beats the pain. Nothing beats the pain of not having someone to talk to when you're in grief. Nothing beats the pain of being surrounded by tons people but still feeling so alone. You start losing faith in everything, practically everything. And then you have two choices flat in front of you, either you screw up your entire life, give up and continue to be the sad depressed soul you already are or stand up! Prove to everyone that you are definitely much more worthy then anyone else. See, once things have been done you can't change it, it's then you learn that you need to face it. So, with your head held high and shoulders broad walk with your chin up, face the truth, like I've mentioned before, don't run away from your problems, face it.

Mixed Emotions: Part Two.



So recently I was watching this dance show on television and this girl came to perform; now she wasn’t like the others. Normally, standards set by these dance shows are really high and everyone expects mind blowing dances, well this dance wasn’t when I watched it in ‘coming up’. But, when I watched the real thing I was on the verge of tears. This girl I just mentioned, well she can’t hear neither speak and then it left me wondering, we judge people so fast, don’t we? We’re always passing comments on any random stranger, without knowing anything about them and it’s really saddening. This girl, she was so confident, she was smiling. A question that kept lingering in my head for a very long time after I watched that episode was, you know how these people can’t speak or hear or can’t see, but are always happy and we can speak and we’re so privileged and yet we have so many problems, it never seems to end. Isn’t it supposed to be the other way round? We’re never happy with anything, we’re always finding faults. Is this what our lives are worth?

Backward region children. Well, we’re all aware of them aren’t we? We’re always cribbing about how we don’t have the best of the teachers, how the air conditioner of our classroom is not working, how our books have not been printed properly and so on. Ever thought about these kids who don’t get proper education what so ever? These kids don’t have proper education facilities, these kids don’t get brand new books neither do they have proper notebooks or air conditioned rooms and if they can get a sixty on hundred without all of these facilities, how hard is it for us, us who get such good facilities to get a sixty. Look at the difference. 

So we’ve been having student council elections in school lately and as student council elections come near, there comes a whole lot of drama, a whole lot of changes. I mean the people who looked lousy the entire year now look like soldiers, head straight up, trying to impress every single teacher there is! I’m not saying this is wrong, do it. But do it, for the whole year. And seriously don’t lie in your speech, for heaven’s sake. Even if you lie in your speech have the courtesy to live up to it. And then comes to voting, stop bribing people to give you votes. Also, the policy of ‘vote for vote’ is really annoying, such stupid alliances.
