Friends for Life & Those Walks to Remember

                          There is something that hasn't changed since 2004. Even though it has been 15 years. Feels like such a long time, but walk down memory lane, the walks still feel with the same. 

It's one of my closest friends to whom I have always opened up so easily, even though I am someone who rarely opens up to people. Even today when I take a walk, it always feels the same - Very Comfortable and So Peaceful. It actually brings more clarity to my thoughts and the clutter fades away. 

There should always be people like in this one's life to open whom you can open up effortlessly. No one to judge, just an ear to hear. Makes a world of a difference. In my case, those walks, though they are far and few, I enjoy them thoroughly. Sometimes, I wish I could go back in time, just to get these little walks, a lot more. But, I am still very happy that friends still make time for each other even now and that's a truly cherished friendship for life.

So, if any of you have such friends, pat your back, because great friendships are really precious and rare, and if you have found it, it's for Life!

Our Circles

          We have all our circles of friendship. Don't we? Well, I most definitely have my circles. I have a core, that one friend with whom I share everything. Then I have my first circle of friends who are my closest. These are my go-to friends always. After that is my second circle who are close, but not my closest. Then the final circle of acquaintances. People I know and I am cordial with. 

So,

1. A Core
2. My First Circle
3. My Second Circle
4. An Acquaintance Circle

Do any of you have circles like this?

A Lovely Series - So far

           I was scrolling through Facebook posts and I saw an ad for a series. Out of curiosity, I checked that and found it interesting. 

It is titled - Jane the virgin and it is on Netflix. Majority in Spanish and a wee bit in English, this is an absolute delight to watch. It has aired for 4 seasons and the final season is awaited. But I am far from it since I have just started. I have started season 1 and I am half way through and it is thoroughly entertaining. The characters are delightful and each one's acting is amazing. 

So, please do watch this series!

I will give a complete review once I am done watching all the seasons. Stay tuned till then!

Think it Through

                    Problems - It arises in everyone's life. And, what fun if life doesn't have problems, right? Well, the problem is that no one likes problems and more over it needs to be solving too. But, each one of us have different problems and each one of us have different ways to tackle it. But what we think is the root cause may not be the actual area where the problem stems from. In our minds, we think that is where it has risen from. In this case, at times we are right, at times we may not be. But how do we know that? Of course, we won't, but it's a gut that guides us. And, we can only silently pray that this gut kicks in at the right time, not too early, not too late, but just right. 

I happen to read something today and that point stuck home. It said - Problem isn't always where you think it is; it's always further back!

Just read the above statement carefully and then you will realize that this statement makes perfect sense. If we dwell a little further back, we will actually know it. Think about it!

U Turn - Possible or Not?

                  How many of us have said this - I do not have a U turn in my life? Raise your hands in guilt or without an ounce of guilt. At some point in time in our lives, a lot of us have made this statement, but the question is how many of us live by it?

Well, we can say that is is situational based and when that situation has passed, then we go back to saying it again. But for a few, it is etched so strong in their minds, that they always struggle with an internal conflict. A fight with yourself and with your thought process. I agree, it is never easy to make a very strong decision and come what may, stick by it. We are humans after all and we tend to forgive and forget. But how do we decide on these decisions? How do we know which ones are the ones that can be reversed? Which ones cannot be reversed and indeed isn't worth a chance. Well, that is a tough one. But, one that needs to be addressed. 

Here is what I feel,

1. Work on your instincts
2. Analyse the gravity of the situation
3. See the impact
4. Weigh the pros and cons always
5. Go with an open mind
6. Devoid yourself with pre-biased mindset
7. If the past has been really bumpy, see if it can be left behind
8. Don't address with negativity
9. Talk it out with near and dear ones
10. Make progress always
11. In the end, don't regret the decision that you have taken, because at some point in time, one would have thought it to be the best decision.

So, see if U-turn is possible or not and act wise!

Time to Attach

Does it feel the more time we spend, the more we are attached to people? I don't agree to this because I feel time isn't directly proportional to being attached to someone. We do come across people in our lives that we haven't spent much time with, but are so attached too. 

Just imagine if something goes awry with them, life just doesn't seem the same. You start missing the messages, calls and all the little things that you have with that person. And trust me, can't wait for the person to feel normal again.

That's when we realize that more time is never the factor for more attachment. Once you meet that special person, you will know that you wouldn't have spent a lot of time but you are way more attached than you realize. 

If you have one such person in your life, please value them and love them!
