Weekend Musing : 2/n
Beyond “thank yous” and “sorrys.”
People matter to me. They matter a lot to me. Their happiness gives me joy, and their sorrows bring me sadness.
Yaayyas:
Happiness from people comes in many different and minion-like forms. It might be as simple as my sister getting 18.5 out of 20 in Physics, which is not her strong subject, my dad appreciating my mom for a simple dinner, or my friend moving into a new apartment. I don’t have to search for grandiose moments for my joys. They fill my life unexpectedly in numerous ways and almost every day. And the best part is my people be happy. I see a smile on their face, which multiples my happiness and joy. Yes, I would cross rivers and mountains and fight with the Gods for them. My people. My inner-circle.
Nayys:
Seeing them sad also makes me sad. It makes me unhappy to a level that affects my day-to-day life. It is not a nayy nayy as such, but what matters to me the most is the helplessness when I can’t take any actionable step other than praying to God. Even though the rough patch in their life might be as planned by God, a phase which would only make them stronger and better people in the long run.
“But duh, isn’t this blog about Thank yous and Sorrys?”
As I mentioned earlier, people matter — my family, friends, and inner circle; it also means I value relations a lot. I put relationships on a pedestal. Letting go, giving up, betraying, fighting, anger, ego, and resentment take a back seat to my love, admiration, and fondness for a person in my inner circle.
“Do these negative emotions always lose?”
No, never.
And that’s the reason why I never at least fail to express my gratitude and regret during such times.
“ Dosti mei kya sorry kya thank you, Aarya”
In fact, Mujhe Aisa lagta hai friendship mei sorry and thank you sabse zyada hona chaiye. Ego & anger wins over so many times, because of which relations are broken, tears are shed, and hearts are left bleeding.
“ Itni formal mat ban”
Arey kyu bhai?
Honestly, I think everyone likes to feel appreciated. And agar mai dil se gratitude express kar rahi hu toh dikkat kya hai?
“ Aarya itna sorry thank you bolne se inn words ki value kam hojati hai”
Yaar agar yeh shabd bolke and inhe mean karke mere rishte bigadne se bach rahe hai, and sudhar rahe hai toh hone do kam value.
“ Bas kar Aarya”
Yaar at the end aap agar fir bhi convince nahi hue ho — mujhe farak nahi padta XD
Padta hai obvisouly issliye yeh blog likha hai.
Among the many other reasons stated above, feeling grateful and apologetic makes me grounded, blessed, and human. I make mistakes, mess up, and sometimes even get a smile on people’s faces. And nothing is more gratifying than this feeling.
Agli baar mai aapko thank you or sorry bolu, please try not to get mad at me, hehe.
