Have you ever loved something so much that you let it go? I know it’s a very strange question. A sane person never lets something he loves leave him but there are times where a person can’t help falling in love with something he knows he can never have. In a general sense I can give you many examples like many of us love those fancy cars The Brits and the Italians make. Deep inside we know that we will never be able to afford them but still their aura attracts us to them and we fall in love with them.
Getting back to my point, all of us have this thing in us that we cant help falling in love be it with things or people. However, there are times when we don’t get what we want from life and although it’s a common happening in every human’s life we have different ways of coping with it. Some of us soldier ahead without regretting the fact that we didn’t get what we want, other seem to get unhappy that they didn’t get what they wanted and they continue to live with a depression and then there is me. Like most of us in this world today I am an emotional fool. I find peace in small things, my family, my friends etc. I have been through many situation where I didn’t get what I wanted and frankly speaking I know its not the end of it. I know that I still have many things to lose. I have my way of handling with it. Till very recently I wasn’t very stone cold with my emotions. I used to cry secretly, feel bad and after a few days sorted my head out and was back to normal. Off late I have lost my feeling towards everything. I realize that I am in a way becoming a dark person, a character who likes to be in the shadows away from everything.
Recently I saw this movie named ‘The Crow’. The protagonist loses his fiancée a day before their marriage and is murdered by the group of thugs who rape his fiancée. After a year of in-existence, he returns from the dead to avenge the death of his fiancée and sets out to kill people. I realized the intensity of the character of Eric Draven. This guy saw his fiancée being murdered in front of his eyes, very painful for anyone. He lost everything he had. While watching the movie there was a particular line which caught my attention. In one of the scenes Eric says “It can’t always rain”.
That line caught my attention for a very simple reason. It showed hope. The character of Draven who had absolutely nothing to live for still hoped that he will be with his love someday, somehow.
Somewhere I compared myself to the character of Eric Draven and I realized just because I don’t have a few things in my life doesn’t mean it’s the end of it. People need to realize that even if they let things they love go away, they will still always have a reason to be happy, maybe not in the same way, maybe something lesser or something greater. Just because a few people are left behind in this road-trip called life doesn’t mean that there will not be any other companion to give us company through life. You just need to realize that everything is not given to you at one particular moment. Its all about going with the flow and taking life as it comes rather than making a castle of happiness in your mind which can be easily destroyed.
