Time

They say time erases the tracks of what hurts. But time in itself is not a panacea for all that hurts. It’s the experience that time brings that helps. As time ticks on, we see more, we know more. We take a step back and are able to see more of the bigger picture. Take another step back and we are able to see even more of the picture. With the passage of time, you have put more steps in between you and what troubles you and the problem shrinks in size due to the distance put between you and that matter. Perhaps, that’s the basis of the saying, time soothes all hurts.

I need to learn something else too. I fully understand that the world owes me nothing. But I need to understand too that I do not owe the world anything. And then, a burden falls from my shoulders and it is easier to breathe.

As I walk on, I become surer and surer of myself regardless of voices of other people which threaten to drown my own voice out. And amidst all the stress of the exam period, that is a certain gladness that radiates out from my heart and infuses my soul with warmth.
