To me, from me with love.

To me with love,

Remember this time in your life. What does not kill you, only makes you stronger.

Turmoil and me go way long back. Sometimes, I cause it.. sometimes it's by the people around me. I know the  "This too shall pass.." line, but the patience in waiting for it to end is what drives me crazy.

I wish I could hide under a big rock waiting for my world to turn. I learnt that every time I fall, all I want to do is hibernate. Different people deal with things differently. The way I deal is, facing it all valiantly but hoping I could run off to the arctic circle.

It's all in the mind. My best friend and my worst enemy is my mind. My mind tells me to be patient at the same time is screaming on the emotional roller-coaster!

I once read that happiness is a state of the mind.I heartily agree. But I wonder how many times human beings out there say, "I am happy".
I have said those three words very often in life for the most mundane things. "I am happy" when I eat my chocolate ice cream. "I am happy" when I listen to a song I've just been thinking about. "I am happy" sometimes for reasons I can't fathom.

But, when the going gets tough and I'm on the verge of a break down.. All I can think of at the moment is getting the issue at hand, right. No amount of ice cream, kittens or songs derail me. I am single minded on the turmoil and nothing seems to rev my spirits up.

Then, I forget it all, and with a large smile on my face welcome the world again. I have my knocks. I fall down, scrape badly. But I always rise to stand. I never give up. I never lose hope. I realized that being a cynic in this world is easy, but having hope in the face of difficulty is tough.

And what makes me go on is the thought that I deserve a happy ending. :)
