Not Too Late!!

 

How does the moon feel when you prioritize the falling star? How do stars feel when you are lost in the glance of the moon? Wait, we should ask the dark sky how it feels to be unnoticed amidst the stars and moon.

Human - Hey dark sky, have you ever felt ignored?

Sky – Yeah, long back but not anymore!

Human – Do you feel lost when the moon and stars are around?

Sky – I know my limits and am aware about my standings while they are around. It doesn’t bother me much now, because I’ve got Sun.

Human - But he is not around you all the time!

Sky - I am happy with what I have, I can still live happily with memories until he comes back.

Human – He never stayed on your sad rainy days, and he never will!!

Sky – But he rectifies my mistakes, tolerates my tantrums, corrects the damages I have made, and helps me shine all the way. I might have dreamt a different life but now I prefer reality. You know what, I used to think the same, but the conversation with the moon changed my thoughts completely!

Once I asked the moon about how it feels to be loved and admired by all? laughingly the moon replied, “who told you that I am loved by all? Kids like me only for the way I bloom, men like me because their ladies want to be compared to the moon. Women like this comparison because I shine alone and assume they are irreplaceable. But They hardly know about my cracks and scars, it doesn’t make me feel bad anymore.

Moon continues-

One day I am fulfilled with all love and other day I might get hurt and disappear for a day or two, but even after going through all the phases I still choose to shine, I am happy with this progress as I have accepted all my flaws. Now People also started respecting my scars because I am confident in having them and it doesn’t make any difference while blooming. What truly matters now is my thoughts, how I feel about myself. I have learnt to balance the temporary stuff like love, hate, jealousy and you should also try these, said the moon.

Sky - Thereafter I never felt insecure about myself, I accepted the way I am, I don’t expect validation from any, yet I am sportive about the critics around. All the Laughs, cries, and frozen tears combined makes a healthy human, so embrace everything sensibly.

It hurts to wipe tears all by yourself, that’s completely fine, this is where you grow strong.

This is the world where people love you only when you are shining and click you when you are jeweled from clouds.

Someday you will shine, someday you will black out, some like you, some may not. Accept yourself first as this is the way to a better life, don't forget to appreciate what you have and who is there for you. Sometimes it is better to react than regret later.

Human - Thank you for this eye-opening convo dearest sky, much love and respect to you!!
