Milomi's world

We all label some events and memories in our lives as the ‘good things’. Once we pass them, we tell ourselves that the good things ‘never last’. That they were meant to go, we were meant to find new ‘better things’, till the whole process repeats itself.

But don’t the good things last?

If you know how to keep them, these things last long. If you can accept that you’ll be sad, and that bad things can happen- the good things will always be by your side. Maybe they’ll be eclipsed by burdens that feel like the weight of the world, or maybe they’ll be buried underneath tears and work, but you’ll be able to find them. They are never lost.

And sometimes, you won’t have to dig deep to find them. Sometimes, they will resurface and greet you warmly- as you fall into the envelope of joy again. We always venture out of that envelope, maybe put it in the back of our pockets; sometimes forgetting about it. But if we look around, think, remember, we’ll be able to dig out that envelope and peek inside.

This envelope won’t give birth to unicorns and glitter, and our lives won’t be full of sparkles and magic. But if we find the strength in ourselves to clutch the envelope of hopes and these ‘good things’ in our fists, we’ll be able to get through.
