Claud

An avid collector of your hopes and worries, a romantic at heart.

She thanks her fairies, for blessing her with people who know compassion down to an art.

For accepting her for who she is, who never fails to turn up,

in times of need as well as happiness, or just there for a loving hug.

They say good friends tell you your worse, and still keep you at the end of it. What if someone gives you a deadline, and tells you that you need to change or else…

When we agree that people who mind don't matter, and people who matter don't mind, can we really carry this out? I find myself at a gridlock - what if the person who matters also mind, what if that person is a very close friend who mind. What does it then mean, when they mind your actions/words?

We are all imperfect. Do we really believe that and expect that from others and ourselves?

Change takes time, and it cannot be rushed. If we have formed the habits over such a long period of time, it's equally unreasonable to want improvements in a few weeks or months. When we ask someone to change, do we reflect upon ourselves? When we tell someone about their faults, do we also reflect upon our own behaviour? Do we ask whether we could be wrong? While we bemoan the fault of others, do we commit the same fault by asking the same? Who judges and who gets judged in return? Why should friendly interactions between people become one that is transactional? Why is it that more people matter to us, the more they also mind? What is being sought after?

I stand in a state of dystopia.
