Alright.
So I have this term paper due at 9 tomorrow morning. I am sitting in my college Cafe and instead of completing the report, I am busy typing this out.
I don't really know what is it that instigated me to start this ! It happens all the time, you know ? There are ALWAYS so many things that I plan to write about, that I think of writing , but I always end up writing something completely different ! Something completely unaccounted for, something that I had never 'planned' to write about ;)
But then that's just the way things work, isn't it ? Things don't always work as per our plans? Don't always, but they do often as well ;) Now I hadn't really planned that I would sit and type this out here in college when I have work dancing around my head. But then, you never really can foresee the effects of a walk in the Winter evening around your own college campus, can you ?
What I was thinking of, what I was wondering about was something about satisfaction. I mean, there are so many things that are there in my mind which are completely unconnected but they all just seem to make sense in a weird possible way.
We people change. We change so much. Our language changes, our dressing style changes, its probably our deeply founded value system that does not change, but we keep changing. Every day, every second.
Change is the only constant, isn't it ? Seriously, think about it, the person you were yesterday, you aren't today. That word you were using the entire past week ? It's not even on your mind now! The things that didn't let you sleep for the past few days, you've probably overcome some of them by now. Don't these things make us stronger ? Overcoming failures ? Overcoming our own fears ? Why do we get scared ? What do we get scared of ? I mean, think about it. We get scared of things not working out in the way expected, we get scared that people might not behave in the way we expect them to, we get scared thinking of what the future holds for us and whether or not it would stand up to our expectations. Expectations ! Ooolaa ! Too hot to handle !
But then again, it's human to expect isn't it ? It's human to imagine the way the future might be, and it's human to expect some people to be there by your side always.
Now , from where did this come from ? I was talking of satisfaction ! See ? Now you might not be able to get the link here, but I can clearly see it. It's when you accept your expectations and when you accept your reality that you are satisfied. Oh yes ! That's just the way it works ;) Things may or may not go as per your plan, as per what you expected things to be. But then, just that fact that you are here, and you have the ability to crib over the fact that things did not go as per how you wanted them to, ought to make you super happy ;)
You know what I'm saying ? Cause it means that you still have it in you to not accept the way things have turned out to be but rather put your best foot forward and make things the way you want them to be. Oh yeah, drifting away again from the topic now, aren't we ? But it's all interconnected. All of it.
Expectations, Reality, Satisfaction.
And it's that immense satisfaction that I am feeling right now ! Which I can't even understand why and how!
I guess I am just in a playful mood, cause when the clock is ticking away and giving me a sly look pointing towards the fact that I might just not be able to complete my paper, I am sticking my tongue out towards it and accepting the open challenge posed by it towards me ;)
Makes Sense ? I don't think it does either ;)
I hadn't "planned" to meet you but it was one of the best things to have happened to me last year! :*
