Tuesday Talks #11 - There's a Moon Among These Stars!

She was taking her last breath. We all sat around her with tears in our eyes. She did not leave until she saw everybody. And when the last member of the family came, she took a deep breath and, never breathed again. There was silence. No more pain, no more suffering, just silence. I still remember how she lay on the floor, looking upwards at the sky, gone forever.

She grew up with me. How can a puppy not be a toddler's best friend? She had a heart of gold. When my little sister slept, she used to sit beside her. As soon as she woke up, this little being would go and continuously look at mommy to inform her that the tiny baby is awake now. The way she greeted us when we entered the house, that was heavenly. She was the perfect definition of unconditional love and joy.

Now, when she is gone, her absence hits harder. Even though we got a new pet, nobody can fill the place she holds in our hearts. It's the same in this world of humans. We miss someone and understand their importance only when they are gone. And when they have gone very faraway, we regret. That regret starts killing us from inside.

Value those who give you their time. No one is free. Why do they message or call you? Not because they're trying to intrude into your lives but just because they care for you, they care about the bond you share with them, they have a good heart. Never ignore these people, never.

One day, when you wake up, you might realise that you lost a real precious gem while searching for another among the fake ones. Once contact is lost, once that bridge collapses, it's really hard to restore it

If you ever meet the next time, you feel that strangers' vibe. Believe me, it feels so bad.

You might think why to disturb anyone without a reason. Sorry to say but your thinking is completely wrong. I bet half of the world population feels so lonely but anybody rarely gets up to cure that. Now most of that happens because nobody is ready to give up their ego!

"Why should I message/call first? They never did!"

(Bruh, they might be shy)

"They might be busy."

(No, they're not)

"School/College/Work over, friendship over"

(Wow, what a logic)

"Oh, they'll gossip about me later on." 

(Let them do, you did your part and that was good *cheers*)

"They'll think I am so annoying." 

(Your heart knows you are doing right, ignore all other thoughts)

Sometimes you never know if you are spending your time with a wolf hidden in the costume of a sheep. Due to that, you unintentionally lose the real ones. It's kinda hard but you can always feel that unique connection you have with someone if they are true. Intuition is a real thing!

This isn't a video game. Nobody's getting a second life here. So stop overthinking. Do what your heart says. Live.

So what's stopping you?! Text or call a person now who you really think deserves that little time of yours. Be it a friend, a relative or anyone else! Good luck!
