This one's for you. Yes you, the person who's reading my work right now. This one is for someone who must have fought many battles in life that I know nothing about. But still as you're reading this right now and I want to thank you. Right now you might be sitting on a couch or on your usual seat in the Metro. You might be eating Biryani or sipping tea. You might be at your home sweet home or boarding a plane. You might be anywhere doing probably anything but at this particular moment you are reading my post on a storytelling site because this your escape. Writing or reading is where you find pleasure, you find peace. And so do I. You know nothing about me and I know nothing about you but still I want to thank you. Thank you for the many times you have been the reason someone smiled. Maybe because you cracked a joke or maybe someone cracked a joke on you! For the many times that you sacrificed for your loved ones or even strangers and the many times they knew nothing about it! So Just for one single moment put everything aside and think. How many streets you've walked since you were born and how many of them you can never return to. How many people you've met, how many friends you've made, how many fights you've had - for yourselves or for others for a reason or for maybe no reason! . So many phases came in your life. Ups and downs, highs and lows, smiles and frowns. But here you are as I said maybe eating Biryani or sipping tea, resting on a couch or boarding a plane. You have seen so many things and only God knows if they were good or bad. And between all those things, All those moments, you have woven your story. All those little things... Those little insignificant moments that you never realized were passing by have unfolded the chapters of your life . And through all this journey, all this time you have been doing just one thing. You, have been living. And so I want to tell you. You might have done something that many other people in the world feared to do. And you, surprisingly know nothing about it. You indeed know nothing about anything and can predict nothing. You don't know what your neighbor is doing right now. You don't even know what you will be doing the very next moment! . Your life, your existence is so uncertain. You don't even know how many moments are written in your fate! And despite that, you smile everyday, as you open the same office door and come back to the same room. Without even realising you inspire so many people, you help so many people. And you're reading this right now because you can relate to all these moments because in these moments have you unknowingly learned to live, to smile. You've smiled when you got a promotion, you've smiled when you didn't because you know that if you didn't get what you really wanted then life has something better coming your way. And with smile you have also always carried the burden of being a single parent, a struggling dreamer, a not so intelligent child, a boring personality, a social off and a not stand up to the expectations of those who themselves didn't stand up to the expectations of the same sufferers. And yet and yet, again you smiled, you - survived. I thank you. Thank you for the many times that you were rejected but you didn't give up. For the many times you failed but you didn't give up. For the many times you lost your bestest opportunities and even then you didn't give up. I want to thank you for in these many times you never ever forgot to do the one thing that is completely under your control and is often under the threat to be lost - your spirit to live.
This one's not to encourage you if you think you haven't done any of these things . No, this one's not for the you who is depressed. Because you don't need to be encouraged. The only thing that can show you the good in you is you so go and search it. Because you are you and no one in the world can make you realize that. And No one in the world can let you down except you yourself. So to you the happy to you the unhappy. I thank you for being, you. I thank you once again
For keeping hope of sunrise even during the darkest of nights. For smiling and living through all the problems that life threw at you. For always through everything being you and only you.
