George Bernard Shaw once wrote: "There are two tragedies in life: one is to lose your hearts desire. The other is to gain it". Clearly, Shaw had his heart broken once or twice.
As far as Im concerned, Shaw was a punk. Coz you know what? Tragedies happen. Whatre you gonna do, give up? Quit? No. I realise now that when your heart breaks, you gotta fight like hell to make sure youre still alive. Coz you are, and that pain you feel, its life. The confusion and fear, thats there to remind you that somewhere out there is something better. And that something is worth fighting for.
This year, I got everything I wanted and everything I wished for. But in a way, I lost even more.
Shaw was right. As we strain to grasp the things we desire, the things we think will make our lives better: money, popularity, fame... We ignore what truly matters, the simple things like friendship, family, love. The things we probably already had.
Yeah, losing your hearts desire is tragic. But gaining your hearts desire, its all you can hope for. This year, I wished for love. To immerse myself in someone else and to wake a heart long afraid to feel. My wish was granted. And if having that is tragic, then give me tragedy. Because I wouldnt give it back for the world. |
