It is not easy
You know?
To leave your house
To leave your city
To leave your family
It is not easy
To live on your father's money
To live in absurd loneliness
To live in absolute conflict
It is not easy
Where days pass like months
Where months pass like days
From one prelims to other
time flies!
It is not easy
To study for the weekend mock
To write it & score less
It humbles you
You live alone in your room
Sad. Lonely. Alone.
But it is Diwali
Crackers irritate you
It feels like a cruel joke from universe
As you fail, world seems to celebrate
It hurts, honestly.
It feels like you will throw up
Your intuition kills you
Your gut curses you
You lie in bed
Lips dry as Atacama
Heart pounding harder
You can listen to your veins pumping blood
You want to cry
Your tears betray you
You see world darkening
..with open eyes
It sucks.
I know it is hurtful
I know you feel cheated
I know it leaves you broken
I know you lack motivation
I know it kills you
I know you hate it
I do not have words of comfort for you
But I have my story
I have been there
It kills your confidence
I doubted everything
Rejections were my status quo
I stopped trying
But something changed one day
I do not know at what point did I leave that feeling behind
But I know I did!
You know what worked?
To cry a bit
and standup again next day
To accept the failure
and yet going to same books next day
To know I scored low
and go back to write next things
It is hard, I know
I have been there
But if you are there,
just avoid 2 things:
1. Don't befriend your bed
2. Don't stop moving, resist stagnation
It might sound cliche but it works
As I write this,
I have a tear rolling down my cheek
I won't be surprised if you have a choked throat too
It happens
You will come out of it.
Darr Matt bhai, do it.
Whatever it takes!
