***A note of warning…people used to my feel good posts should understand I do have bad days too!!! and if u wanna smile, please revisit my last post Ishi = Mummy = Pishi = Chachi !!! I luvv my babies:-) ***
A million people can come and criticize my writing here in my space…it doesn’t affect me negatively. Criticism taken positively makes me improve and better myself.
(Okk…the funny thing about the above statement is… “ishi…a million??” hmmm!!…I’d be lucky if that many even got here…)
What upsets me is when people who don't know me get personal…and what hurts me is when people who know me personally don’t appreciate any effort I might be making. I don't know which hurts me more though!
I know I know…I grew up hearing it too… “Do your work and don’t worry about results”… and I say it often too … “U know urself…why worry about what others have to say!”… But at times I find myself getting worked up and upset…and I hate it!
NO not hate the situation as much as I hate myself for letting such stuff affect me.
This whole weekend has been a tough one…and if I thought the weekdays would be calmer and more peaceful…I was as is obvious from the tone of this post…thinking wrong!!....
When I posted the quote on death in a recent post, I had no clue I would be facing the loss of someone who had come close to my heart in the last couple of years…and we (myself, my closest friend Suchi and her family) are still coming to terms at the loss of her father.

I remember that quote … “tough times don’t last...tough people do!”…and I am praying that she will have the strength and the courage to move on.
I also read this… “'You'll get over it...' It's the clichés that cause the trouble. To lose someone you love is to alter your life for ever. You don't get over it because 'it' is the person you loved. The pain stops, there are new people, but the gap never closes. How could it? The particularness of someone who mattered enough to grieve over is not erased by anyone but death. This hole in my heart is in the shape of you and no one else can fit. Why would I want them to?”… And I completely agree with it! Yet life does go on...

Hmmm…while I was reading the above quotes, another one caught my eye… and this has nothing to do with the above...I was just struck by the intensity in it!...read it for yourself...
“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.”
- Neil Gaiman
