Why is life like that?

Without a close friend around, life starts to feel lonely. No, it is not that Preeti didnt have any friends and therefore was feeling lonely. But, definitely there was a fall in the number of friends surrounding her, compared to the same month, last year. And the void, she felt, was inescapable.

She was not the kind to drown herself in memories, or long for the days gone-by. Well, atleast not all the time :-D. Very wild mood swings characterized her day. When she doubted herself, her potential, there wasnt anyone she could share it with, who would assure her that she was gonna be just fine. So she did that job herself. She spoke to herself throughout the day, convincing herself, persuading herself to not give up in her quest.

She also had plans for the future, big plans. But those future plans depended on her ability to handle the present well. And her confidence in herself was kind-of becoming rickety.

And yet, she experienced everyday what a great opportunity she had. She regaled everyday, in the knowledge that she had had a better life than most. And every day that she lived, was a gift that she treasured. Preeti wasnt one to be cowed down by insecurities. She vowed to herself everyday, that she would rise. And she declared, "I am not complaining". :-)
