A Lil storytime for those of u feeling low
So ...this is something that genuinely changed my pov towards life ...but .
I recently talked to this guy on plato
He was from south india ..not really sure where from exactly but yeah ..from south
I talked to him
I told him pretty much about my life ..how I felt so behind ..and my family dynamic
We talked on other voice channel
And ..the only thing I asked him was ..tell me st about yourself ..
And he said his life was pretty messed up but he still enjoyed it
Wondering what could possibly be wrong I asked him ..batao na go ahead
He was a topper till 10th std scored 99%
He took admission in 6 years integrated course
And he found like really really good friends
Like which basically changed his life
And in the final year of his course his father died ( when he was 20)
And ..his mother died when he was 4 months old
His older sister got married
He was all alone at his home
He got into an IT company
He earned well ...but the corporate life made him more deppresed
And he returned his hometown
And became a primary teacher
Because ...he finally wanted to do what he loved
He loves being surrounded with kids
And after all of this
You know what he told him ...
"THINGS CAN GO ABSOLUTELY WRONG BUT THEY DONT GET THE FINAL WORD AS LONG AS I AM ALIVE"
He also told me that sometimes ..u just gotta flow with it ...because u can't control it ..somethings in life can go so worse
But for him ..it didn't go worse until and unless he didn't die ...
After hearing all this...am I still worried about my career ,my life
Yes I am
But I am gonna come back to this every frickin time life knocks me out ....
there is no guarantee life works the way u want it to
BUT AS LONG AS YOU ARE ALIVE THE STORY IS STILL BEING WRITTEN ...
BEING BEHIND ISNT SAME AS BEING FINISHED ...
