Do you know which is the most intriguing part of our existence? Its when some part of others still living inside us long after they have left us. It lives on in those oblivion part of ourself from where it can prop up anytime and gives us a big jolt, good enough to make us numb.
Constant evolution of this existence inside us over the years will make it more meaningful where one would be at peace with it and may be more comfortable to have them as silent companions for life in the form of memories. May be when things go wrong, when we dont have anyone to talk, when its difficult to find the way out and when life will be coming hard at us, we will have these memories to turn to. If not those people, their ‘some’ part would be still breathing inside us. And may be that will keep us going. Hopefully.
Umm you know i sometimes wish that a part of them didnt live on.. coz the one thats left behind usually is a distorted version of them.. be it.. rose tinted or not.. coz its always distorted!
I think its all about how you look at them… What kind of memories you had and what kind of influence they had on you.
I had people on my mind when I wrote that and I think you had some people on ur mind as you read it.
It certainly can not be true for everyone you have known but for those rare ones….
