Well what would life be, if not unpredictable? Sweet this moment and sour the very next. It keeps us on our toes and laughs back at us when we try and plan how our coming days would be.
(Fingers crossed) I am currently in a phase where life has been kind to me after a phase of toil and madness. And so, I was looking forward to the weekend gone by, to share my happiness with my dear ones. It indeed was a lovely evening with partners in crime. Reminisced about college days, picked places for a well deserved and pending vacation, talked about cars, some friendly banter, pulsating music and much more. I couldn't have asked for more.
But before the evening came to an end, something changed. A partner's acquaintance gate crashed my evening. Being an extremely private person, who is also very picky about her dear ones and spends time with only those who matter, it somehow didn't go down well with me.
The gatecrasher not just tugged at my partners' attention, IT (want to keep it gender neutral) meddled with how I had wanted my evening to conclude. I did not like it...not a single bit. From then on I had to use every ounce of endurance I had and eventually, the evening ended abruptly.
My dismay slowly turned to the partner who had allowed IT to gatecrash. I wanted to talk about it but don't know when will I get the chance.
I wonder, what would it take for people to give time and attention to folks who matter and sift away the riff raff. In today's times, do we really do right by the ones who matter to us? Then suddenly a question pops up - am I even the one who matters?
May be..... or may be not....That's a tough one to tell right now.
I don't know about any of you right now but here's what I believe in.
"If you my friend, matter to me then you will get all of my undivided attention...all the time. And if I matter to you, then you better give me the time and attention that I deserve. There is no room for gatecrashers".
