Happiness doubles when shared, sorrow is halved-
is life really as simple as this stupid quotation says?

In a bid to make sure that all are happy, I have lost my smile somewhere.
I know, I laugh, but- I just wonder why can't it reach my eyes- and gleam like it used to.

To make sure- everything in life of everyone runs smootly-
I have forgotten to oil my bearings- the creaks and the cracks have become a comforting noise now.

To make sure that I survive my ordeal- I have stopped venting out-
Numbness has become the order of the day and night.

Tears refuse to come.
Laughter refuses to become genuine.
Pain is a regular visitor.

All is dark, and God it seems has turned off the light at the end of the tunnel, owing to recession.


I have no idea- why am I blabbering.

Sakshi,

The quotation is not wrong. Would you like to share what happened to put you in this mood? The light at the end of tunnel is there but may be a little more distance to go.

Take care

Hey listen, this is something my dad always tells me, its really really hard to keep everyone happy. And it takes its toll, like it has for you. And in the real world, its really very hard to expect people to share in your happiness.

Take some time off for yourself, sweetie! I think what you need is self-preservation right now. :)

Take care.
