Like a twig against a hurricane.

How far can you stretch before you break?

"I used to want it so much. I used to hold it so close to my heart. But where did you leave me? At the corner of your heart. I was disposable and replaceable. And when you finally realised that I was fighting hard for you, you threw out a life buoy and you gave me your hand. But maybe its too late now."

Sometimes, all you need is someone who is sincere, who listens, who understands without you having to explain every single damn thing and comforts you when you need it the most.

Like it never mattered.

"When someone's been gone for a long time, at first you save up all the things you want to tell them. You try to keep track of everything in your head. But it's like trying to hold on to a fistful of sand: all the little bits slip out of your hands, and then you're just clutching air and grit. That's why you can't save it all up like that.

Because by the time you finally see each other, you're catching up only on the big things, because it's too much bother to tell about the little things.

But the little things are what make up life."

Handing it over every time they come around. Why do we do that?

WHY

Saw a saying that goes something like "if you're still the same person as you were and surrounded by the same people...you're the lucky one." and thought that it somehow struck a chord within me.

With some, it is soul warming and less tiring.

But we ought to learn to see things as they are.

I think that more often than not, we tend to misinterpret what people say. Or we force these words to fit what we believe to be true. Unfortunately, it can lead to a lot of unhappiness and resentment in the long run.

Also, most of us love to be in control. Of everything, in fact. To the point that we become control freaks. We get forceful, angry, upset and/or throw tantrums when we don't get what we want, resulting in strained relationships or negative feelings.When can we learn to live and let live? That maybe when we accept things as they are or let things go we might just be happier.

It could probably have stemmed from the thought that we know what's best for others. I guess it does happens sometimes. But do we really? Do you really know what's best for someone other than yourself? Heck, sometimes you don't even know what's best for yourself! Before I go on further, however, I do accept that people can know better in certain situations due to prior experiences or advices given but it is when we forcefully impose it on someone else (maybe to the extent of going against their will) that it becomes not right.

For example, why do you need to tell someone who to love? Are you going to be the one who will be with them? Are you going to be the one to feel the emotions that they are going to feel?  If you aren't, then what right do you have? People have the choice to love who they love, please don't take it away from them. (Not talking about certain bad situations where it is important to get out of it immediately)

Some things just got me thinking hence I came here to write down my thoughts to make better sense of what I believe or feel. Feel free to drop comments, I think I would like to know and understand different view/opinions and in this way, I can learn to be more open minded as well!
