Hello. How are you?
I think sometimes we should be in party mode. Partying is very, very important. And when I say party, I mean spending time with your loved ones: your friends, the people you like to spend time with, people who make your time worthwhile, people who make you feel happy and energetic. People who make you laugh, people who laugh at you, and people who let you laugh at them.
Friends are one of the most important support systems in our lives. Our life is incomplete without them. It can never be complete. It can never dare to feel complete without our friends. Family holds a very important place in our lives and in our hearts. But the way a friend re-energises you, refreshes you and rejuvenates you, nothing else in this world can do the same.
Life is hard. Life is full of struggles. Life is full of challenges. Life is full of fights, and in those fights, we win and lose many times. Winning and losing is part of the game. But with your friends, you always win.
Let’s keep this in our hearts: time spent enjoying is never wasted. Whenever we get time, whenever we can manage, we should try our best to reach out to our friends. If possible, meet them. Let them share their love, their deepest fears and the things that bother them, and at the same time, do the same yourself.
Sometimes I feel that I can only open up in front of friends who I know love me and think the best of me. Whether I share something good or something bad about myself, they will feel about it the same way I do.
In life, many of our relationships are not in our control. We can never decide who our parents will be. In the same way, parents don’t decide who their children will be. They just give birth, and then they try their best to make sure this little one who has come into the world is able to survive, sustain and keep going. In a few words, that is the basis of life.
Whenever I am in the company of my friends, I feel very lively. I don’t miss a single chance to pull their leg, to abuse them and to laugh with them. Some of my friends tell me that when I don’t abuse them, they don’t feel the connection. So they request me to abuse them, and then they laugh and say, “Yeah, he’s back.”
Tick, Tock
All in all, I am grateful to the Almighty God, in whatever shape and form it is present among us. Osho, one of the most famous spiritual leaders, argued that there is no God, and that God is a man-made concept, created to make men and women confident enough to fight and win the challenges that life poses. In the end, in my view, praying to God does change things, especially things we cannot see.
It’s a crazy world. There is no way to make complete sense of this beautiful and diverse world we live in. We can try our best. We can always think we know it. But in reality, we don’t know shit. We are just living each day, taking one breath after another.
What if every human baby is born with a set timer: a number of breaths written in their fate? We don’t realise it, and we keep running down that timer with every breath. Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock.
Hence, it is very important that we try. That we try our best, to the best of our abilities. That we do the best we can to enjoy the life we have, in whatever way possible. We keep doing it. We keep pushing ourselves. We keep winning, we keep losing, yet we keep going.
If we think deeply, the ability to keep going, keep pushing, keep going, is one of the most fundamental powers that drives our life. We need to win. We have to win. God has given us so much. So much.
The Struggle Is Your Best Friend
There will always be dreams. There will always be places we want to reach. There will always be things we struggle to do. The struggle will always be there.
The struggle is your best friend. It will never leave your side. It will never let you down. It will never leave you alone. It will come to stay with you. If you simply understand this and embrace your relationship with struggle at every corner of your life, then life will show its true colours. Life will make you feel its beauty, its aura and its energy.
We have all heard a lot through our religious beliefs about what happens after death, but no one can say anything with certainty. Nobody knows what will happen after death. Maybe this is the only place and the only time we have. Maybe all of this is an experience created by God to experience itself through us. It’s magical.
Don’t restrict yourself. Don’t let others bring you down. Cry, get up, collect yourself and get going. Because, my friend, in the end, none of it will matter.
And when we reach the end, I’m damn sure that, just like me and just like you, we will all look back at the path we travelled to get there. And when we do, which we definitely will at some point in the future, we will feel how much we enjoyed the path we took, because that path was the only thing that was real. Everything else was unknown. Everything else was fugazi.
I want to look back on my life and feel happy and proud that I tried my best. That I tried my best at every corner of my life, to keep going, to keep pushing and to keep building. I wish you the same vibes, my friend.
If you like to read this, oh my god, we are both in a great place. I will keep coming back. I’ll keep talking to you. I’ll keep bringing my ideas and my thoughts, and I’ll keep expressing them to you. I will never leave you behind. Will you leave me behind? I think not. I think we both know the right answer.
I’m glad that you read my words. I’m glad that you like my words. I hope my words can make a small but meaningful difference in your life. And I hope they help you stay happier and stay more yourself, love yourself more, love your loved ones more, and take care of your family and yourself.
Have a great day.
Love and luck.
