In a World Like This

Looking back, she could see that every step in her life, however happy or unhappy it had made her, it never failed to teach her something new each time. Or was it that she chose to find meaning in every walk of her life? Nothing can replace those understandings.

But this time, as a certain chapter of her life was coming to an end, an unsettled feeling found home in her soul. Pain. Sorrow. Nothing could remove that emotion, and her heart wanted nothing more but to end this journey with beautiful memories, with tears of joy. But in chasing the death of sorrow she was running out of time. This time... this time, she didn't run to the core. Instead, she took a step that she vowed she would never take - she ran away from her pain, her reality.

Did she want to see what would be found on the other side of the spectrum or did she run out of strength and courage to fight her heartache?

Whatever it was, she had found feet on new ground. Unfamiliar ground. It was as though her feet had found a new path in the last few months of her chapter. She didn't know how to respond to her new discovery because being in an unhappy place in life, its difficult to see things for their true value.

Was it marvellous leaping to a new vision, or was it regret having not been here since the start?

Whether it was the right thing or not, for once, she just didn't want to handle her pain anymore. It wasn't that she couldn't - because she believed nothing was impossible - rather, she didn't want to. Free fall. She unleashed what she felt was her pandora's box. But what was it?

The beauty she encountered had led her to the cross-roads of life: Unforgettable memories that her heart knows will never be lost, incredible friends that she can call her better halves, once in a life time experiences that can never be recreated. 

How could all these things be the product of Pandora's box? Or was the unsettled feeling distorting the vision of her reality?

She found herself lost in belief of how mesmerising living could be. She had met many people in her life, lived many memorable moments too. But this was something she couldn't even comprehend. How could friendship be so powerful, how could love be so infectious? It felt so good to be something so bad.
Nothing could be you other than you
Lost.
