Life's not easy, jackass. You gotta take it real slow. You don't always get what you want. Do you? Sometimes it's just the opposite and sometimes it's just not enough. Sometimes it's unanticipated and sometimes it's predictable. The thing is, do you or do you not, always tend to get over it?
Yes,what if you were capable of knowing everything ? Would you really be happy then? Would you be able to stop the inevitable?
What if you knew already that you're favorite character in Game Of Thrones would die in an episode going to be aired on your birthday? Would you not celebrate your birthday? Would you skip that episode? Well,if you think yourself to be a die hard fan,you might as well just do it,but that my friend,is exactly how you become an epitome of lunacy.
What if you knew the person sitting right in front of you would be proposing any minute? Would you like cutting to the chase and asking the highly strung person to just spill the beans? Would it be able to compensate for the satisfaction you'd get while watching the fidgety human beat around the bush and speak gibberish?
What if you got to know about all your last goodbyes? Would you be able to keep each one of 'em from going away or would you be so mad at them that you'll stop the memories from lasting a lifetime?Are you willing to give up on the idea of a perfect goodbye kiss, coming up all unknowingly just for the sake of not being brave enough to say, "This is goodbye." ?
What if you would have known that the one person you're in love with will leave you one day? Would you be able to stop feeling for that person in a heartbeat? Well yeah, maybe,but what possible explanation would you give to that person for leaving at that moment? Do you really wanna be the one who runs away? Are you ready to trade "I tried.I really thought, you'd stay" for "I'm done. I know you're gonna leave." ?
The thing is,you know a lot of things already and you probably even know that it's of no use. There's no adventure in knowing everything beforehand.
You see, everybody is acquainted with the very idea of papercuts. So what? We stop reading books? We no longer should go through the morning news?
We know,we do terrible things after getting drunk, but who doesn't like to beat the odds? There comes pleasure along with regret when we drunk call the 'don't call'. We all know that when it's finally time to 'go,get graduate' , we're gonna be sad and vulnerable. So ? You decide to not look good because you're gonna cry and ruin everything anyway? What will you cherish more? A photograph of you looking like Mona freaking Lisa or the one reminding you of your graduation speech, which by the way, you started off with a smile and ended up with a tear rolling down from the corner of your left eye?
You need to understand that giving up is not how you should deal with things.People are not always meant to be together and if they are, they find their way back somehow. They always do. You need to believe that nothing would have been different even if you knew then,what you know now. It'd be like, you playing a game and knowing all the rules. That'll make you happy,huh?
Open up your eyes,my love. You're either right where you are supposed to be or you're just at the wrong place at the right time, but you've got nothing to worry about.
