Within My Universe - Leslin's Blog Journey

Do feelings even matter? In this era of internet and smartphones Where relationships begin with a like on a picture And end with the blocking of a profile Does fondness matter? Where emotions are considered a joke Where tears are considered a sign of weakness The mark of an attention seeker; Just worthless drops lost from our soul; Do tears matter? Does attachment matter? Attachment causes misery It's the source of all hurt and pain Affection only makes you feel inadequate Do sentiments ever matter? Gone are the days Where we waited days on end For a word from that special someone; A little hi brought tears of joy to our eyes We live in times Where relationships end with a one line text Is life that simple? What is the way to be happy And never get hurt? Will we ever have an answer? -Leslin Sushma D'souza

The events and happenings of the past two months have made me realise something; you can have the whole world vying for your attention, you can have tons of guys waiting to try and charm you, to win your trust; to have you for themselves; you can be among a crowd of even a thousand people who do their best to keep you entertained nonstop. However, you will still only feel nothing but lonely, sad and abandoned if the one person who really matters is no longer in your life. Have him near you and you feel you can conquer the world. Even the biggest hurdle seems trivial if he is by your side. But once circumstances take him away from you and once you are forced to part ways, nothing will ever be the same again. You will finally realise what it feels like to feel alone even among a crowd.
