Info

Error 404.

There is this very special account that I need to definitely login into. It felt like the only window through which rays of hope could possibly enter; there were mountains, oceans, skies, worlds across it. I definitely need to login into it. I started to age with grey hairs among their sparse black peers, with night-sky black shadows of sleep-free eyes, with a compromised hunger, well, sometimes on a rage of binge. It is okay. As long as I login to that account, I am cool with my premature aging. Besides there’s no age limit, right? 

But. I can’t login. Got coached by the greatest, crammed thousands and thousands of 19 digit combinations, swotted a million pages about the best password and tried to battle it out through it- error 404 happened. I can’t login. I am an intellectual, hard-working one who made an ample amount of sacrifices but I can’t login?? So I am a failure failing my parents’ hope, hopes of bunch of known and unknown people. I can’t login to that shimmering  view outside my windows, filled with bright-eyed, younger, happiest, deserving people. I deserve my dark, stuffy burrow; gets cozier to crawl into after a couple of failed login attempts. 

Nah. 

Not at all. Life aint a four-walled box with single hole. If it is a cardboard box, you can fucking poke through it; if you’re stronger, just break through it. You  can’t login to become the bright-eyed happy deserving dude? Screw it, be a bird. Fly off. Not everyone has the same road, we carry different maps, we walk different speeds, we see through different eyes. When we all are so different, how is this a race? When you fail to login into the life you want, take your time. How is it a failure, when you stand up everytime you fall? It is just that you are temporarily stuck. If you ever get suffocated in your burrow, remember you always have your wings. You can get back after a nice, smooth flight.

I can’t login. Error 404 happened. It is okay, nowadays my burrow ain’t bad and I am sure I’m about to figure out my password. I know you people will too, the people who can’t login.
