I never realized I would be solely dependent on you for my independence.
Dev was an inspiring personality in all capacities. Each day thousands of individuals would write to him for advice each day. It was the part of his profession for he was a famous life coach, who had paved ways in the lives of many, for success and happiness. People admired him and envied him for his confidence and ever charming personality. It was hard for people to understand how someone could be so contended and successful, and still not be haughty. Long after he left this world, a letter from an old cabinet in the dusty corner, a letter was found, which revealed his secret. This secret is not something hidden from this world, but often not understood by many. This letter is an inspiration for ones, who turn a deaf ear to life when they do not find their near and dear ones close to them. What was in this letter, have a look:
Dear….
I had always sought solace and calmness in my life for my mind is never at rest. Each single day of my existence is a tale of myriad thoughts that creep in and disturb my peace. Everything changed the day I met you. You revealed how during the first meeting I appeared as if someone who has been snatched off the joy of existence and how my voice and story had a strange sense of gloom. I was the same from the start and always sought the support of someone or the other as an answer to my sadness and loneliness. I had lost faith in god for I believed he would never change anything in my life, and my smile would always remain bland and on the surface. I had forgotten how to be happy and how to enjoy the elixir called life. You came and made me experience a different perspective of life altogether, which was completely in contrast to the way I lived. You taught me to be independent of others and to never give the key to my happiness to another person. I have heard this philosophy from many in life, but your preaching worked miraculously for I transformed from a larva in a cocoon to a beautiful butterfly over time. It appeared as if you have given the necessary nourishment to the barren soil, which was long sought. You were the one who taught me to be selfish, and you were the one whose words made me believe that everything and everyone in this world do not matter, the thing which matters the most in life is calmness and respite. I enjoyed the new found knowledge and believed myself to be independent, where all I had in mind was my happiness. Our interactions grew, and you were the center point of my confidence through this time. I began enjoying everything in life, despite failing on different fronts. You taught me the enormity of life in front of me and that the failures or breaks were miniscule in front of life. Life is a sea of opportunities, towards which I had a blind eye and deaf ear. You gave the necessary tonic to strengthen my abilities to visualize and hear the opportunities and benefit from them…. You are that important. You are most important in my life….
You might remember once I told you that I do not need anyone for support now, and thanked you for liberating me from the slavery of sympathy. I was happy and in high spirits at that time. Days passed, and one day, you had to choose a different path altogether, which was never in anyone’s thoughts. I first was happy for you would have a new experience and be more equipped in life. I personally believe you are at the zenith of wisdom and never would need lessons from any experience, but still was happy for you.
We began living once again, nearby yet far off. Everything was the same, yet it was different. I wasn’t able to realize what the difference was, for I should be happy and unperturbed by the void which surrounded me. I had wholeheartedly experienced freedom in high spirits; still I experienced gloom on finding you far away. I felt attached, once again. This time to the person who taught me to stay disconnected, stoic yet compassionate and love whatever life brings to me.
How foolish I was to believe I was independent. I was not learning to be independent; I was learning to be happy in your company. I found solace when you would make me understand things which I already knew. Now I understand why everything appeared beautiful to me when you showed me. For you were my inner voice, which I had been looking for forever, you were the voice I had been searching for in the world, and were able to find only in you. I know it is not advisable to be dependent again, neither would I ever be sad, but I experience loneliness which is outside my control. This does not mean I would forget everything which you taught me. I would never let your efforts go in vain and would make you proud one day, but it would have been a beautiful world, if you would have been nearby, to make me strong forever.
Yours….
