Today's topic seems a lil' bit heavy.
To choose someone I miss who is no longer here would take some consideration and even with that, I might not be able to choose whom I miss the most. Like everyone, I have had my fair share of losses too so most would understand why it would be hard to choose.
But here goes..
The one I miss is a girl I once knew. She believed in love, she believed in magic and she believed in everyone she knew (and even those she didn't know too).
She believed in happiness.. But she believed in sadness too. Yet she was sure, happiness would always chase away the sadness at the end of the day.
She believed that as long as she did what she was told, as long as she tried hard to be a good person, then bad things would never happen.
She believed that as long as she tried to not make any mistakes, she'll be fine.
As long as she coloured within the lines, as long as she followed the rules, she will always be happy. As long as she made sure she never crossed any boundaries, she'd be safe from any kind of harm..
..but then she grew up!
She learnt the hard way, there were more emotions than just happiness and sadness. Not everything was just black and white. There were grey areas which were hard to distinguish and sometimes, the sun didn't come out.
She learnt that you can follow all the rules the best way you can, but sometimes, it just backfires. Sometimes, it's just not enough and sometimes, it could actually break your heart into a million pieces.
She learnt that you could plan, ohhhh you could really plan. But most of the time, things don't go the way you had mapped it out to be.
Sometimes its just a little bump in the road, but more often than not, its a long and winding detour that makes her feel so lost and so out of touch.
On days where she felt like it would never stop raining, she'd sometimes lose hope in ever seeing the sun, in ever seeing the blue skies.
Yet sometimes, when she feels like giving up, she'd get a glimpse of a rainbow. And most of the time, that would be enough to make her brush off the dirt on her hands and stand up again 😊
Be honest, I'm not the only one who misses that girl (or boy), right? I know all of us have known that kid once upon a time ago, and though you might not want to admit it, I know you sometimes miss them too.
