Some realizations come with time. Some realizations come with space. Some realizations never show up. But all these realizations have one thing in common: you will outgrow each one of them. The consolation of being alive is there is always more room to learn and fail and learn again. What made your yesterday will break your tomorrow; what you are dead sure about today shall make you doubt yourself later.
And on this wonderfully dark note, let me share some realizations — late, quick, and somewhere in between.
Suffering goes to waste.
The so-called good ol' days are a figment of our imagination.
Those close to you tell you something because they want somebody to listen to them.
We respect each other as energies, not individuals.
Don’t listen to others. They don’t know what they are talking about.
Media can be a fucking shame. And more often than not, it is.
You aren't looking for advice. You just need someone to +1 your initial thoughts.
Truth is experienced—neither seen nor heard.
A newspaper has less than enough space for news.
You stay angry with yourself.
You have the answer while seeking advice from others. You just hope to hear the same from others too.
Your rivals decide the kind of competitor you’ll become.
The so-called profound tweets are stuff you already knew but are glad to read anyway.
Youth is rebellious about all the unnecessary stuff.
We miss those days we never really had.
Stating the obvious is exactly what's required.
The thing that's keeping you from accomplishing whatever it is that you you desire is you.
Little is more than enough.
Statistics are flawed. But they are necessary.
We give up as well as give in.
I don't have a clue what's going on. Not that i'd like to know.
Doing nothing becomes the most appropriate option.
Staying away makes a hell lot of difference.
You don't know whether you're coming or going.
The words we use aren't as convincing as our truth.
The poet in you should remain silent.
Failures make you a more compassionate human being.
We need others to listen to our crap. Agreeing ain't part of the deal.
We miss that person we could have been.
It's a loved one we hurt the most.
Enlightenment takes place in utter darkness.
Some of us have found happiness in being depressed more often than not.
It is you who abandon your dreams, not the other way around!
Really needed this one.
