I once saw this movie called "A Beautiful Mind". I am sure many of you guys also have seen it or at least read the book. It made me wonder whats wrong with living in an imaginary world of your own as long a you are not hurting/bothering anyone. I could have my own set of friends, stuff that I always wanted to have, do things that I dreamed of doing but never did etc ...
Unfortunately, things don't work that way for one or the other reason. Either people around you start getting jealous and insecure of the fact that you are having more fun than they are or for many of the physical aspects of life like food, cloths etc you need to be in touch with the real world and can't live without it. So, for practical purposes the imaginary world doesn't work.
We all know that in the real world sometimes we get into situations we don't want to be in and feel really bad about the whole thing. That's the precise reason why we all feel "Reality Sucks" at times.
Thanks to our maker, whoever that is, he/she has given us a few good things. Things like the ability to forget and forgive, ability to analyze what went wrong and realize our mistakes, ability to make some changes and move on. Because there is nothing we can do about what happen except for learn something from it and move on. I know that really sucks, because we may have found something that we thing is really awesome and want to hold on to it no matter what. Like this one thing may bring the best out of us, still we just can't hang on to it, we need to let it go, cause as my friends say "somethings just aren't meant to be". I too can't understand when they say this, I felt many times when I heard that "That's crap. No one decides what's meant be for me, I decide that". But I am starting to realize its not crap, somethings aren't really meant to be and we really need to let them go. It's like when your are on a bike and you fall when you are riding too fast, you need to let the bike go at the earliest to minimize the damage to you. The longer and harder you hold on to the bike, you get hurt more.
I am sure, there is reason for everything. I have seen this before, when I got into my second job, after 3 months into the job I didn't understand why I stayed. I kept saying to myself "I can do this", but all the time I was hurting my self more and more. Once I let it go, I felt so good. At the same time, my joining that job was very much necessary as it taught me a lot about myself and how I work. That knowledge help me do my job faster even today. I am getting the appreciation, whatever little it may be, that doesn't matter, at my current job is all because of that. So now I understand why I had to go through those difficult times and why letting it go was the best thing that happened. And I see that "Everything Really Turned Out To Be Awesome" :). A happy ending after all.
So we need to hug reality and stick on to it, cause we don't have a choice. And hope that everything will be fine and eventually we'll realize that things did turnout to be good actually.
