I learned to let go,

hoping to grow.

End is the fate of all,

Whom should I do it for?

What does it mean to be an adult? What is ageing? What does growing up mean. Growing up is losing emotions, feeling less of everything. Feel less happy, feeling less sad, feeling less Pain, feeling less satisfied that is what growing up mean.

While growing up we are constantly losing something. Something that makes us, Us. We are troubled not because of things we lost. We are troubled because of possibilities. Possibility of having things, possibility of feeling new emotions, possibility of being somewhere beautiful than here, possibility of being more content

Everyone is so optimistic, optimistic to the level of no going back, We are so optimistic about the fact that we will always have the time to spend the money that we saved for so long, We are so optimistic that we will surely get to visit the places we are so curious about, we are so optimistic that we will always have the option of opening our heart to the people important to us, so optimistic about the fact that what we have today will also be here tomorrow. This optimism of ours helps our future self to bound us to same place and same desires.

Ever wondered what’s the purpose, purpose of being born, purpose of being conscious? Some might have grand ones some Little ones but everyone thinks they must have a purpose. What if there is no such purpose.

How do we perceive the world? Through our senses. Then shouldn’t the purpose be to satisfy these senses. To eat all the delicious food in the world, to see all the bright places, to smell all the flowers, to hold all those warm hands and to speak all the healing words, just experiencing the world. Isn’t the purpose is just to be, to just exist.
