Forever never lasts.

 She walked inside the class and the teacher asked if there was any empty seat, I put my hands up as fast as the speed of light, she walked towards me and we were inseparable since then. We had everything in pairs, whatever you see in my house you could find the same in hers! From tops, nail polishes to books, jewellery even perfumes! We dressed the same, people thought we were twins, and no we don't look alike it would be crazy then we just wore same stuffs, people assumed we were from distant look.
Graduating from classes to classes, we were always together. We both love dance and were pretty famous back when we were kids, we used to perform in every function, parties. You name it and we have done it long back. She used to fight for me and I used to bash up people who hurt her. So many people have tried to break our friendship, jealous people in the world just could't see happy people around them. One fine day, we were not talking which went on for months. I didn't know what was going on and neither did she. Months later, we found out it was what people had wanted to separate us and we both fell into the trap. Something we swore we won't but we did. This world always tries to trap you in one way or the another, its a hard task to not fall into the trap. 'Cause sometimes trap can be so delicious and so tempting you just can't let it go. The incidence taught us a lesson, from then on our bond was stronger. Our friendship didn't end with us , it extended to our families being close. Our mothers became best of friends, now no matter what happens with us we are always connected. This is the strength of friendship, anything in the world can break but not this. Its stronger than the bond of family, much stronger.
Soon I had to leave the place I grew up in, I was devastated. We promised we'll call each other every once a month, send e-mails everyday. Facebook was not there then. When I did shift, all the promises lasted for 3 months. After that everything stopped, we didn't keep in touch, we were completely unaware of the happenings with each other.
4 years later, I came back to my native. The first person I wanted to meet was HER. When we met and talked, I realized that we have completely changed, our taste, our choices, outlook towards life, we were poles apart. I tried to reconcile things, keep away the awkward silence between us and I know she tried it too but the time we were apart made our distances more further away. Opposites attract right? In contrast, we were nowhere close to each other. I couldn't say anything which came in my mind, I didn't know how she would react. Best Friends weren't suppose to do that right? But as the time flew by, we made our own decisions, made new friends, made new best friends.
Then we realized individually that its better to move on with our life, we are still friends but we don't talk anymore. Our friendship deteriorated with time. Now, we are just there but not BFFs anymore.
How I wish forever would last forever. But in reality, it doesn't. Nothing does. Once its gone wrong its gone.
We were best friends since 2nd grade but now I hardly know her and she hardly recognizes me. It hurts a lot but this is how things go.

Pencil

Hhaha the topic. It is making you wonder why on earth would I put this as the topic and what I'm gonna write about it. Well, to clear a few things I am actually writing about a PENCIL, literally.

Pencil, I shall say, MY pencil. Its of red and black vertical stripes. Love the color combination. Red symbolizes passion and black is the door to mystery. I always wonder what it has to do with me, well frankly it means nothing to me. I'm a normal teenager who gives not a damn to all the philosophical meaning in life about each and every non-living thing. But as an English student I'm trained to be philosophical and put my best effort to bring out non-living things to life or at least relate them to our normal life.

It is brand new, never used it once. Its passion to jot down anything the master says is symbolized by the red color. We say pen is mightier than a sword and in this case, its Pencil. Yes, it is.

Sharpening the pencil is the process of shaping its beauty and making it reach to its highest peak possible. We all do undergo in our life the process for our future. High school being one, then the struggles and obstacles, lessons in life are all shaping us and this is our way of sharpening our mind and heart. Ain't easy I agree but we all go through it. Some learn from it and some just ignore it. And once it all is done, we stand still and enjoy our success and growth we have shown. Soon we all gonna be a part of that.

There's a point in life of a pencil when it breaks down but we sharpen it again and bring it back to what it was before. We do break down right, some point in life  let it be regarding to academics, career, family, friendships, relationships and so many things. We get hurt, betrayed, fall down, get scrapped knees, broken heart. But the point of it all is to gather up the pieces and move on, right? We get hurt, dejected for there's no meaning to love if there is no pain, nothing is joyful and happy if you have not experienced pain and there is no beauty in oh-this-is-one-of-the-best-days of life if you have never faced a bad, gloomy day. In order to understand the ongoing life cycle, you need to face it. I'm not going to distract you from the facts of life with the happy stories of all human beings. Yes, I do believe in happy endings everyone deserves an happy ending but also believe that the journey and the path is always human-like. No matter what, gather your bits and pieces of yourself and get going cause the world is not gonna wait for you. Its better to be ahead than lag behind. Believe in yourself amd the sky is your limit just like the pencil where the sharpest point is its limit.
