“Do you ever feel that
way?"
"Lonely?"
I search for the words. "Restless. As if you haven't really met
yourself yet. As is you'd passed yourself once in the fog, and your heart leapt
- 'Ah! There I Am! I've been missing that piece!' But it happens too fast, and
then that part of you disappears into the fog again. And you spend the rest of
your days looking for it."
He nods, and I think he's appeasing me. I feel stupid of having said
it. It's sentimental and true, and I've revealed a part of myself I shouldn't
have.
"Do you know what I think?" Kartik says at last.
"What?"
“Life is painful and messed up. It gets complicated at the worst of
times, and sometimes you have no idea where to go or what to do. Lots of times
people just let themselves get lost, dropping into a wide open, huge abyss. But
that's why we have to keep trying. We have to push through all that hurts us,
work past all our memories that are haunting us. Sometimes the things that hurt
us are the things that make us strongest. A life without experience, in my
opinion, is no life at all. And that's why I tell everyone that, even when it
hurts, never stop yourself from living.”
“I've crossed some kind of invisible line. I feel as if I've come to
a place I never thought I'd have to come to. And I don't know how I got here.
It's a strange place. It's a place where a little harmless dreaming and then
some sleepy, early-morning talk has led me into considerations of death and
annihilation.”
“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.”
“Every event in life can be causing only one of two things. Either it
is good for you, or it's bringing up what you need to look at in order to
create good for you.”
“Anything that you give your attention to will become your “truth”…
The Law of attraction says that it must. Your life and everyone else's too is
but a reflection of the predominance of your thoughts. There is no exception to
this.”
