Alright,
So, the following post is by someone whose work I truly appreciate. A dedicated
writer, an awesome human being. Thank You Priya, for taking the time to write
this wonderful post for my blog. This sums up pretty much everything this blog
is about. I’m sure life has something amazing planned for you ;D
Everything Happens for a reason
In class
IX, I got separated from all my friends. I was all alone, in a class full of
strangers. Okay, maybe not strangers. I’d known most of them since kindergarten,
but only on a first name basis. They weren’t my ‘friends’. Just acquaintances.
I came home
and cried the whole day. I hated God for doing this to me. I couldn’t believe
HE could be so uncaring and harsh. I was a kid, really; and in my own words, ‘I
wanted to die’. But my mom told me that it was going to be all right, and that
everything happened for a reason. I discarded that piece of advice as
typical-mom-wisdom-that-only-works-for-her-generation. I didn’t pay the
slightest heed to her pravachan.
But, guess
what? IXth was one of the best classes ever, for me. I made three amazing
friends, whom I retained throughout high school, no matter how much the
teachers or fate tried to separate us.
We’re still in
touch, we talk on a regular basis, and we laugh and we gossip, and do all
things we used to. We meet whenever possible, and support each other through it
all.
I had a great
almost-romance, with this really cute guy. It was a year filled with laughter,
fights, issues, what not. And I had more fun then, than I’d ever had (till
then).
And so, I
started believing.
That
everything, does in fact, happen for a reason.
Yes, there have
been times when I’ve doubted this. Times when I’ve thought that the universe
was being a pain-in-the-ass, and I cursed everyone and everything in the
vicinity. But, of course, it turned out to lead to something wonderful-and if
not that, then atleast something which was (painfully) good for me.
We fret about
small, little things that go wrong with us; which do not co-incide with our
expectation of the future. We start playing The Blame-Game, instead of
understanding the truth. The truth, that everything is a part of a bigger plan.
The Plan. The Plan for us all, by Destiny. We’re mere puppets, going about our
life, thinking we’re the center of the universe, while it’s exactly the
opposite. We’re just part of The Greater Plan.
It all happens
for a reason. The reason may be anything, from a happier future, to an
important lesson in life.
He broke your
heart? Maybe he wasn’t The One.
You lost your
job? Maybe you’ll get a better job, which suits your needs better.
You had a fight
with your best friend? Maybe it’ll make your friendship stronger, and more
honest; or maybe you’ll part ways. But it’ll be for the best.
Whatever
happens, for whatever reason, we’ll all turn out fine. It’ll all be well in the
end. Just remember one thing.
Don’t you worry, child.
