“Listen to me. I’m shy. I’m not stupid. I can’t meet people’s eyes. I don’t know if you understand what that’s like. There’s a whole world going on around me, I’m aware of that. It’s not because I don’t want to look at you, Lucinda. It’s that I don’t want to be seen.”
— Jonathan Lethem, You Don’t Love Me Yet

This is for girls who have the tendency to stay up at night listening to music that reminds them of their current situation. Who hide their fears, hurt, pain and tears under the smiles, laughs and giggles on a daily basis. The girls who wear their heart on their sleeve. The girls who pray that things will work out just once and they'll be satisfied. The girls who sceam and cry to their pillows because everyone else fails to listen. The girls who have so many secrets but wont tell a soul. The girls who have mistakes and regrets as a daily moral. The girls that never win. The girls that stay up all night thinking about that one boy and hoping that he'll notice her one day. The girls who take life as it comes, to the girls who are hoping that it'll get better somewhere down the road. For the girls who love with all their heart although it always gets broken. To girls who think it's over. To real girls, to all girls: You're beautiful.

Do not fall in love with people like me.
I will take you to museums, and parks, and monuments, and kiss you in every beautiful place, so that you can never go back to them without tasting me like blood in your mouth.
I will destroy you in the most beautiful way possible. And when I leave you will finally understand, why storms are named after people.

There are things that remind me of you . Incidents I'd want to tell you, things that I want to remind you and then I remember that we don't really talk to each other because we are back to what we used to be , strangers . Don't worry though , I will get used to it .I always do . So I pick up my pen and paper to write to you , to write about us . Because this is my closure , a closure that I deserve .
Yesterday in class , someone mentioned an ice cream flavor and my mind connected that flavor with you because it was your favorite and then came the memories of you and me but the suprising part? They didn't stir an ache in my heart like they used to and I knew that it is time to let you go. Funny how we talked about forever and beyond.
For days, I thought about what exactly went wrong, whose fault it was? And no matter what stories I made, the one where you are wrong , the one where I am, the one where we meet each other after a long time and finally put the past behind us and move on, they did not bring you back , bring us back.
Almost wrote a letter to you, obsessing over the little details, trying to figure what happened between us but then I didn't. Because if it's not meant to be, it's not meant to be. And here's a confession,it was embarassing to be the only who cared.
So is this how we say goodbye? I think you should know that one day, I will think about the pranks we played on other people and laugh . One day, I will think of you , think of us, without heartache. One day, I will forgive you and I hope, you will forgive me too. Till then, I pray that wherever you are, you are happy and healthy. Goodbye, friend.
Here's a letter to me, it's not embarassing to be the only one who cared. You will make new friends who will make you fall in love with yourself and you won't make promises that you can't keep!

Friendship plants itself as a small unobtrusive seed; over time, it grows thick roots that wrap around your heart. When a love affair ends, the tree is torn out quickly, the operation painful but clean. Friendship withers quietly, there is always hope of revival. Only after time has passed do you recognise that it is dead, and you are left, for years afterwards, pulling dry brown fibres from your chest.

Continents drift, and so do hearts.

People don't drift apart for one specific reason. Well, you might be able to find a reason, but you could come up with one only after you made up your mind, a tired excuse tacked on after the fact. If their hearts were still in it and their bond was threatening to sever, you'd think one of them would step in and try to fix things. When no one does, you you know the bond has already been broken.

“In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can’t build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery, and death. I see the world gradually being turned into a wilderness, I hear the ever approaching thunder, which will destroy us too, I can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if I look up into the heavens, I think that it will all come right, that this cruelty too will end, and that peace and tranquility will return again.”
― Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl

I know that this world is a cruel place to live in . I know there have been times where you have been deeply hurt by people you love , ( knowingly or unknowingly )but listen to me . Do you see how people offer their seats for others in a crowded bus ? When a baby starts crying , how people start making funny faces to calm the baby down , have you seen it ? When you offer a glass of water to the postman/delievery man ,who made sure to deliever your letters/gifts ,safely in the scorching sun ,the way they bless you for doing the bare minimum ?Do you ever sit down with your society's watchman and ask him about his family ? Have you seen the love he has for his wife, how he dreams for his kids , how his life revolves around them . How excited he gets because his daughter won a drawing competition , have you?Do you ever sit down with an old person and ask them about their life ? and how their life starts and ends with their children . It's hard to imagine that they were young once , without any responsibilities , without this wisdom . Has anyone ever patted your head and told you to stay this way ?Have you ever praised your mother for making your life easier and seen her laugh while wiping the moisture from her eyes? Have you ever noticed a group of kids , walking back home after a long day at school /college and laughing ? Have you ever loved stray animals and have had the wonderful opportunity to be loved back. Because I hope you have, because there's still a lot of hope for this world , you just need to look closer , maybe a little deeper , within yourself , there's this basic goodness that is extraordinary and waiting to be discovered.
