I am sitting alone after coming from my friends' get together . To a great surprise, I am not feeling myself that fresh and energetic as I was expecting before joining my sweethearts after a span of approximately 5 years. All four dear and near friends are moving perfectly fine in their lives in terms of jobs, careers, home, family, etc. But one thing was missing in all of us when we interacted with each other. We lost our innocence!our habit of talking openly about each and everything , our desire to go to any extent to achieve our goals, to make our lives happier, and to have an extraordinary relationship ❤ .

Something that was pinching me throughout that time, WAS all this, we were hiding something from each other, atleast we were trying our best. One holds a dominant position in the bank but too busy to think about getting married as one man already ditched her and she doesn’t want to be betrayed again. She was pretending to be super happy with her life but her eyes were jsut reflecting an opposite reality; alone and want someone to hold her hand on every occasion. Second is a friend of filthy rich person and wants her to move eloquently in a social circle. She was trying to look extremely satisfied but her eyes were empty alongwith her heart. We all three were envying her and she was envying Us to live independently, regardless of what another person wants her to do. Third is a perfect couple with her husband and not pretending to be happy but in fact happy, yet she also got tears in eyes when someone asked : “how many kids you have ?” Shehad no one.

Fourth is me , all happy with an amazing partner, we both are immensely happy. Our kids are too amazing that they win various competitions and make us proud. But we are unable to afford even a single comfort in our life. Even my clothes were too ordinary as compared to them.

This is life! We are always at some losing end for something we are desperate for. But that is beyond control. The only possible solution is to stay contended with whatever we have. Atleast it keeps us away from getting frustrated and depressed. Gratitude may help us in countless ways. We just need to practice it quite often.
