Sometimes people simply sit on the front porch waiting for something good to happen to them in life. And they keep waiting till they are old. They sit alone, wondering why nothing good has happened to them yet. And this person told me this because he didn't want that for me.
I have wondered for some time, at the back of my mind, ever since then.... I wonder if I have done enough? Have I stepped outside my small comfort zone enough times? Have I found enough joy and meaning in life? Have I managed to find opportunities for myself and make the best use of what I was given? Have I done justice to the me 10, 15 years ago, who was more comfortable in her imagination than the world outside and coped with pain by hurting herself? Have things gotten better, like Raghu promised me they would? Did I do justice to the gifts and kindness and blessings I received...?
