How do significant life events or the passage of time influence your perspective on life?
Hey…
I hope all of you are doing well…!
A cool Wednesday morning it is and I woke up by the air purifier hitting my face with cold air that it blew at my face, the time was 7:56 as that’s the time I saw on my phone and watching the 71% battery on it made me breathe a sigh of relief…!
And I went for a morning walk with my dog and it was amazing;
There are so many things that we see, giving us perspective on life too, as we see people from walks of life, making it an interesting thing to observe too…!
And, now I have to clean my room as I’ve returned home at 8:58 hours…!
But,
The morning walks makes it better as a fresh perspective is taken in the morning and it helps me think about things in a different way than what I usually am sitting within these four walls…!
Coming back to the prompt
Life events and its influence on our lives
This topic came on the right time,
As many things are happening around me as life unfolds infront of me…
A marriage
It usually looks like two people getting together just to live together and have a kid in the near future but that’s the perspective from the outside;
But, when looked at from the vision of the couple- the man, the woman or whoever is your significant other is—
It gives you a whole different perspective as they aren’t just tying knots, they are marrying each other and it involves understanding the nature and the quirks that your partner has and adapting to things they don’t like and providing them with love and care that they need…!
Well this isn’t understood by someone who isn’t married or doesn’t plan to get married anytime soon and it’s their choice…!
You get to understand a person in real time and unfurl them in a way that gives you understanding who they are and why is it the way they are…!
People just call it marriage and that’s what their mind lacks to think and believe…!
Childbirth
One of the most crucial thing- that welcomes parenthood and shapes you in a way when the peaceful nights turn sleepless as the newly born child needs attention and your support…
It’s very tricky in the first place as not all of the conceptions end up in having a child and there are many helpless parents that are working hard to have a child of their own; and when things don’t work out adoption becomes an option…!
And this continuous tries to have one of your own pulls the love out of intimacy..!
Yes you might not have heard that but tracking your ovulation days and being ready on a specific day/(s) kills the spontaneity and turns it stressful and a task that requires accomplishment instead of being fun and full of joy…!
(If you know this I’m sorry for you and I hope you have a child of your own someday…!)
And viewing this from the outside it feels like something you can’t care about,
But when you are in the shoes of such a person you come to know the real meaning of having a child and when you’re blessed with one, it feels like the almighty rewarded you with something of a miracle themselves..!
Death
Yes, one of the things that makes us who we are and prepare us for the world beyond this one, the sweet embrace of death,
Something that all of us have in common that we have to taste it once and we will never know when it will be our turn, but the fact that this is the common thing that all of us share and have kept on sharing and will do until our end…!
It breaks a person if it’s close to you, your S/o, your father ,mother, brother or sister…!
It hurts to a such a degree that sometimes the pain and suffering becomes unbearable and the person takes their own life as it becomes unbearable to live a life without them…!
I’ve seen people do that and leave behind kids that were underage, some were working;
It wasn’t something of a Sui(ide but the loss becomes unimaginable and the person gives up on living their lives and then something happens; their car swerved out of control, they fell and the blood loss was too much—
“They cherished each other so much that they couldn’t live without each other” that’s what they say after it happens;
But, the love that they had for each other couldn’t be shaken or taken apart…!
(Khair)
The life and its perspectives haunt us and make us think about who we are and what we live for;
It might feel like it was a long read but it was necessary and worthy of each word as anytime any one of the above happens it becomes a life altering experience and changes us and our core…!
Cheers 🥂(to a long read and a new perspective)
