Twists and Turns

"When it hasn’t been your day, your week your month or even your year, I’ll be there for you…"

My friends say I perfectly fit these famous 'Friends' title lyrics, I feel proud to hear that, and its true that I always wish to be there with each of my friend and I will. Its not about ALWAYS supporting their actions/decisions/reasoning, its about supporting them inside to take a call for themselves against What may come.

We always believe rather EXPECT the life to come in a certain way, I am no exception and I guess nobody is. This form our assumptions, assumptions about ourselves, people around, situations and many more things. As long as life comes the way we expect its smooth and acceptable. Actually 'life' is too strong word for me here though true (I don't believe in being EXTREME for anything) but still I'll prefer using 'things' instead. But when things dint work out the way we expect instability is created inside as well as outside and things/life takes dramatic turns. That is when you get to know the STRENGTH inside and outside. Its not smooth and good times, its always the bad, trying and tough times when you get to know the strength, yours as well as of others.

Many things we KNOW, we don't WANT to accept, things like meeting your own expectations, meeting peoples expectations because even at 'your' worst people want you to be at 'your' best. and even at your best you want yourself to achieve more, not all but yes some of us may want this. Trying to visualize that acceptance criteria so that mismatch does not occur. This reminds me few lines, don't know who has written it. It says, "Being a good person is like being a goal keeper- No matter how many goals you save people will remember only the ones you missed" TRUE very TRUE.

Never used to believe twists and turns in things can be that huge. I have started believing it now (Still trying to accept). Its going difficult to accept, going difficult to stand firm, going difficult to be fair, going difficult to be good, going difficult to be right. I wonder is it always about being right/wrong, good/bad? or its about being TRUE. True to be yourself, true towards situations, true towards people, completely true being you in a given situation with certain people. For me its more important to be true. But whatever it is, Roller-Coaster ride of life is always thrilling, adventurous and completely enjoyable!!! and I am loving every moment of it.

I strongly believe whatever happens, happens for GOOD and for a reason (how can a person like me forget the reasoning :)) Realizing at its best, at this phase of my life. Feeling very nice and proud of my family for making me realize all this. Ahhhh what patience my family have got to teach me, teach me such wonderful things in a best possible manner.

Hi,
Good Post.
i always see 'expectations' as a show stopper in many friendships. You expect your friend to do this and behave like it, and he/she doesnt do that, the friendship is dented to some extent, unless it's built on some solid foundation.
