Hitting Rock Bottom

Note:This is not a post about tips on how to do a "rock bottom".

You need a strong right arm for starters.

Anyways,now that that very important issue is cleared up,let me get to the point of this post before you start thinking this is a nonsense post(you might still think that at the end of it,tho.But come on bro,give it a chance)

There comes a point in life when you face so many issues that you just hit absolute rock bottom,all the advice you get seems irrelevant,the things you do day in and day out seem totally pointless,problems keep coming at you like a giant wave that keeps smashing you against the rocks.

You get the gist.

The thing is when you get in this mood some of the bullshit you receive like "It'll be fine","It happens to everyone" kind of clichéd advice infuriates you even further,can't blame the person who's giving that cause well what else do you expect him/her to say? They are probably bugged of you ranting on and on, which is why,personally,i'd much rather be in that deep ditch for a while sort out the issues myself and slowly climb out rather than some of the forced crap society forces some people to do.

Seriously.

There's a famous theory on how problems make you stronger and facing them head on eventually helps in the long race.Only time will tell whether that's right in my case,but as of now i'd think that just because ive faced a similar problem in the past doesnt make it any easier to face it now.Infact it sucks even more when you have a similar problem cause it means you clearly havent addressed that issue and learnt from your previous mistakes.(Sorry to sound preachy)

Also,this whole meant to be and not meant to be crap. 

If you screw up,instead of taking responsibility on what happened and trying to fix that,too many times we coolly just think it wasnt meant to be and that's that.Its so much easier to do that and find a bunch of quotes said by someone famous about how some things arent meant to be than to actually fix a problem,no?

The strings of my guitar broke a while back,probably me playing guitar just wasnt meant to be,the world just lost its next Jimi Hendrix.The tragedy.

Now let me sit on my ass and not do anything about it since a tumblr photo tells me there's no use.

Moving on,you see that person who has everything you want right now?..walk a few steps in there shoes or if they're really nice ones,walk a mile,see what they've been through before judging em,begrudging them,calling them lucky,just because they havent told you about their problems doesn't mean they didn't have any,idiot.

Never judge a book by its cover, or these days, Never judge a facebook profile by its cover.

End of rant.

Glad to know i brightened up your mood and put your mind in the land of meadows and landscapes where everything is just so pure and mystical.

If you love something,set it free..if it comes back,it's yours,if it doesn't,call CID.

Keeping the faith

There are many things which piss off in life.Not getting what you want,not knowing what you want,the heat(Vellore temperatures seriously wtf!),the sheer ineptitude of certain people,being let down,screwing up an exam,a friend who "didn't study at all" doing well in the same exam,slow internet etc..you get my drift.

But no matter what you're still supposed to be keep the faith,be patient and reap the rewards.Apparently if you're patient enough things will come your way and life will magically work itself out.

Being impatient is a real kicker and you cant help but think how many times we end up in the same situations,time after time after time.

Sometimes it just feels like life's a re-run with different outcomes.

We can do a million things different and yet end up at a dead end.In fact you will always eventually reach a dead end in whatever path you chose, just have to make sure you haven't missed the last detour.

So how much does patience pay? A lot.

Yeah.

Being patient is one of the hardest things in life cause there's always that temptation to just lose your head and go ahead with the easiest option.It's hard to convince yourself there's a light at the end of the tunnel at certain points in life.

There's a famous quote which goes "There are plenty of fish in the sea",to which you'd sometimes think Yea,but you're nowhere close to the sea,you're far away in a desert,far away,all alone.

This guy is definitely in that place.

 Also, there's no guarantee being patient will always pay off but about 9 out of 10 times i'm sure people who've rushed into their choices regret it.

Morgan Freeman in Seven said, "It's easier to lose yourself in drugs than it is to cope with life.It's easier to steal what you want than it is to earn it. It's easier to beat a child than it is to raise it. Hell, love costs: it takes effort and work"

Read that in his voice and you'll know the power of such a simple statement.

Keeping the faith is hard,ask any football or sports fans in general,supporting a club week in week out,feeling shit after a defeat and going to bed,but still looking forward to the next game cause that's what a supporter is.

And that's how life works i guess,all about getting up after every setback.Not that coming back from a setback guarantees you wont have anymore,its a constant process and you just cant afford to get frustrated and give in.

Its clichéd advice,but patience is a virtue and if you want more ups than downs,you need an abundance of it.
