Win Some, Lose Some.

I have never been a huge fan of losing things.

In my world, winning is, quite obviously, the winner.

It looks like the equation has been changing lately. Not that I am really losing out on things. Or to be more precise, people. But I have been making a lot of revisions to my life, and editing the terrible things quite relentlessly - all to make my 24th birthday lovelier than ever.

Metamorphosis, I reckon.

I have always wondered, how do you really measure winning and losing when it comes to things that are not tangible. How do you measure all of it when it comes to people? The million dollar solution to that dilemma would pretty much sum to nothing.

Zilch. Nada.

Now, here is the thing. Over a period of time, I have developed a habit of holding on to something that has been bruising me. It hasn't just stolen my sleep, it has stolen my peace of mind too.

I mean, come to think of it, I have lost the count of the number of days where insomnia and distress engulfed me.

And for God knows what reason, I held on to it. Maybe I was trying to seek comfort in it. Maybe I was hoping it would turn out to be better in time.

Or maybe I was just scared of making that huge a change in my life. I was controlling my emotions, and probably was choosing the wrong notions in my head over my comfort.

Big. Fat. Mistake.

I've realized, happiness is the eternal solution to that damned dilemma. That is exactly what differentiates winning from losing.

For once, I have learned that controlling things doesn't always have to be my forte. And I let go.

Isn't it quite strange? When you really like something, you succumb to it in ways you wouldn't imagine, and no matter what people say, you put yourself out there. You take that leap of faith, and fall prey to idiotic things and quote lines like "The heart wants what it wants."  Yuck. I know. But maybe, that’s how you learn. You got to make your own mistakes to learn out of them. 

The best part is when you lose some, you win some.

Only to make way for better things in your life.

Ten Things I've Learned The Hard Way!

1. The corporate world can make your life bizarre and give you a massive head-ache. No matter how awesome you are (or you were), you will turn into a person with too many complications. 

You miss your crappy college and the person you used to be!

2. There are times when people change drastically and you end up looking like a deluded fool having no clue of the situations and of course, the repercussions. 

Accept the change and move on! 

3. A person can do a lot. Like, a lot! 

All that we need to do is, prioritization and hell yes, get rid of the damned procrastination.

4. There are moments when little things can irk you. There are moments when your brain can create all lame stories about 'those little things'.

Gimmeeee a break!!! Those little things do not even matter, you demented brain.

5. Have a little faith in yourself! 

6. There are moments when we are so into some crappy work and ignore our friends, life and  all that and turn into a replica of a person we once hated.

On a serious note, why do you need anything else when you have no peace, love, happiness and in this process, your life turns crapper. Doesn't it?

7. Appreciate the people you have in your life and be glad that you have them before it is too late.

Yes, before it is too late for everything! ;-)

8. Promises are broken, scattered, twisted, forgotten, and in few cases, they are thrown out of the window. 

Well, I've learned that you can do nothing about them. Seriously,what can you?

9. SHUT UP and mind your job. No, really!

10. Yawn! I am glad the final one is here. I ran out of ideas already. :D

Music and books can pull you out of any distress. One should always depend on them for comfort.
