Realizations Hit Harder Part 2

What this episode covers

Hey... Welcome to THE TEENAGER'S DIARY where you hear the different feelings, thoughts, and emotions of the teenager. Well, this is your host, SHADOW SPARKLING. I'm a different teen of 14 and I hope to enlighten you by sharing everything I have. Well,... Today, we are going to talk about "REALIZATIONS HIT HARDER" Part 2. And like always, I would love if you keep an open-mindset while listening to this. Wow! Now I think that I can write a book about this??. Okay, that’s exaggeration??. Forgive me for that. This is the second part of REALIZATIONS HIT HARD. If you haven’t read the first one before, I recommend you do??. You can read it here. Let’s get started. GOTTA BE STRONG ??. Well, in a world like this, YOU HAVE TO BE STRONG. My parents, they never taught me that??. Well, I learnt it along the way. Actually, there’s a lot of stuff you just learn along the way??. In one Instagram reel, I learned one of the most important things which literally stopped me from giving too-much about others. On that a woman (probably it was Halsey??) said, “YOU ARE NOT THE MAIN CHARACTER IN OTHER’S LIFE, BUT YOU ARE THE MAIN CHARACTER IN YOURS.” From that day (I’ll be damn honest with you), I stopped giving a shit about most people. I realized that, NOT EVERYONE’S HAPPY FOR YOUR SUCCESS. And that you have to DREAM BIG. Because small dream is a big CRIME. That’s APJ Abdul Kalam. One of the few men I look up to ??. MATURITY. I am damn grateful to anything, all the stuffs and especially MISTAKES I’ve made all along. Because these mistakes are what that told me straight, YOU HAVE TO IMPROVE. Sometimes I am scared and sometimes I am not thinking straight. People are always wanting you TO BE LIKE THEM. They are always trying to cut your wings, just when you try to fly. They are dominated by what the society thinks, what the society wants to see, not what you want. Well, previously, Ma used to say, BE MATURE. I never understood that. But in the coming years, I realized, MATURITY has different meanings for different people. For some, it’s, “not regretting when you give anything you want”. For some, it’s “getting used to LIFE-PUSHING you and you stay AFLOAT”. But for me, my definition of maturity was: “MATURITY WAS THE CHANGE WHEN YOU GO FROM ‘NOBODY NEEDS ME’ TO ‘I DON’T ANYONE’.” Well, it’s been good since that day, when I understood this. I suggest finding your own definition and then living by it. ALONE & TRUST. I have been… alone and lonely lately, for nearly 3 months. But ‘loneliness’ isn’t the word for me, nor for that 1% of the world. The word for us is “SOLITUDE”. You gotta know how to handle yourself ALONE and TRUST YOURSELF no matter what. Because if you don’t trust YOURSELF, trust me when I say, “NOBODY ELSE WILL”. This is from Instagram. Well, TRUST is another thing which taught me things which I never dreamt of. TRUST is actually the MOST BRITTLE THING in this universe. If anyhow, something makes you mistrust as little as 0.1% of another person, your faith in that guy/girl will never be the same. I had a petty issue to learn this from. I learnt the hard way when I trusted a friend with my CRUSH’s name. Guess what, one day, she went to my CRUSH, and start a conversation which later on resulted “HER” in knowing the UNWANTED TRUTH. The real thing is that YOU HAVE TO HAVE YOUR OWN BACK. If you don’t guard yourself, nobody else could. And more over, nobody staying with you all the time. That brings us to the last paragraph about DEATH. DEATH. You know, I used to get scared when I realized that one day, my loved ones, my family would DIE ??. And that is INEVITABLE. I used to pray (this was 4 years ago) to Shiv, Parvati, Ganesh (Gods whom I don’t trust anymore) that just don’t let my family die anytime soon. Well, now after getting experience from all the films which included someone getting killed, I could kind-of feel the pain through the eyes of the protagonists. I now look at DEATH as the someone to feared as well as someone showing the path to a new world. Do you believe in “The Other Side”? I am not sure. After all, Faith is something I have had in everyone who has betrayed and loved at the same time. Well, I have been writing for 40 minutes now. And probably think that you’re tired of reading this. Are you? Let me know in the comments. People have a lot to talk about things like THESE. Everyone does. But the problem is, NO ONE LISTENS. Well, you’re not my emotional dump bin. NO, you’re not.
