Feathers Of Beauty
Ugly past or meaningful present?
Out of nowhere, my mind decided to remind me of some pretty stones gifted to me by that one (and probably the first) friend that I had as a little kid.
Back in school, when we adored each other like fools...hehe!
Then what happens?
Somehow, we lose contact. If a person stops talking to us, how often do we go and ask them the necessary Why? OR do we just sit (maybe overthinking:) and let things flow their way?
Some don’t reach out because of their ego, some hesitate due to their insecurities and some don’t because they just don’t care. A wealth of reasons out there! Either way, the ultimate result is growing indifference and distance that can’t be slowed down ever beyond a certain point in time.
But you know what?
I still possess those stones. Still holding onto a part of that certain someone, somewhere in my life. It is so fascinating how there exists a beautiful mosaic of colorful feathers shed by innumerous souls designing our memory lanes: souls that once visited, stayed, or merely passed through our lives.
And don’t worry! I am not asking you to hold on to your past. But simply want you to see that every life that crosses our path, every energy that mingles with ours, leaves its cloudy remnants. In the form of some lessons, habits, behaviors, anecdotes, adventures, unexpected smiles, insecurities, awkwardness, and just. Memories, scattered here and there within us, like shining glitter!
And that’s not scary. It’s alright. In fact, I think it’s beautiful.
It’s a measure of how much length you’ve traversed till now. Growing up into something beautiful every day. Just like those airy feathers!
