We never value what we have until it goes away.

I always want things which I don’t have , and then when I get them I am happy for sometime and then I tend to get bored of them.

Simple things in life, like our bed, the house we stay in, food we eat everyday, I mean all this do u ever think about it and value it?? Trust me we don’t, because its always taken for granted.

Have you ever gone a day without food, like been really busy that you didn’t get time to eat or imagined what it would be like sleeping on a really cold winter night without your favourite blanket? Think of the times when u suddenly wake up in the middle of the night just to find urself shivering and then you snuggle up with your blanket as close to you as possible. What if we cudnt find that blanket one night? How restless we wud get? And then probably learn to value the small things in life.

Just felt like writing here about my ma, i was super duper addicted to her, i would throw tantrums, expect her to do everything for me, right from feed me , to dress me up, when i was a kid, like even put me to sleep, sit next to me when i was eating, at times even tell her to feed me, make her sit next to me when i was doing my home work, jus trouble her so much, not listen to her when she told me to change my uniform after i came from school, she would yell her throat out, but i would give her a deaf ear. All of that, and more.. i was jus a kid then probably 12 years old, wasn’t as mature to understand her, i wouldn’t let her out of my sight even for a min, I wanted her to be around all the time, I would even sleep next to her most of the times. She would get annoyed but then after all she was a mother, she took up all my tantrums with a smile on her face, i still can remember her caress thru my hair when she used to put me to sleep, i used to ask her to tell me stories. I feel i troubled her so much , but even loved her more than anything in this whole world and still do.....

And then one day she left.... perhaps god loved her more than me, and needed her there because as I know her she was a pure soul... she left us and went, i was hardly 13, was a lil girl, not even mature enough to take my own decisions. I learnt to do things on my own after that, and only when she wasn’t around me i started to value her, i missed every little thing about her, everything that i did with her around. Its only when you have something and its no more there with you, you realise its importance.

So jus wanted to say value the simple things in life, our family, people who love us, friends who knows what tomorrow is like? things like the view from ur apartment, the food we eat, the cool wind , the weather, live as if there was no tomorrow, love everyone, spread smiles, spread happiness, make others smile, do good to others, help the ones in need if you can.....
