What if we cherish small intimacies?

"Small intimacies matter. Why aren't you letting yourself be loved by the people around you? Why don't you open yourself up to the people that matter you? Or don't you even know to what people matter you anymore? What are you so afraid of? Are you afraid because of something bad that happened to you in your past? You're starting to protect yourself. You're doing everything to make sure it doesn't happen to you all over again.You're making sure that you're warning yourself with every little glimpse of the red flag you see, you're making sure that you become extra cautious about what you are letting yourself into.

Even when you try to control your life, have you ever been able to do it successfully? Or it just threw the same stone again but with a different speed or maybe direction? Or it just turned into the best decision of your life?

You calculated all times to a tenth of a second and all distance to the inch and then you recalculated as if you could not bear the thought of failing yourself again, failing people again, people to whom you matter the most.

But are you sure it's going to work this time? Are you sure that you would be able to stop the mis-happenings, the hurt, the angst, the grief, the people's actions? Or are you sure it's not going to morph into an extremely beautiful chapter of your life.

No, right?

We often forget the fact, that the things which need to happen, do happen, no matter what. We're so busy protecting ourselves from the things and situations we don't wanna be again and again. We often mistake protecting ourselves with moulding our lives. We only realize when things go sideways and it's too late. Everything we were protecting ourselves from, it unfortunately happened again. So, we ignore that we can only control our reaction to the things that happen to us not the entire happening.

Life is so full of complications and confusions that humans oftentimes find it hard to cope. This leads to people throwing themselves in front of trains and spending all their money into unnecessary things and not speaking to the people they matter and never going home for times when family needs them. Why not be happy and cherish the small intimacies we have between people we know, people we care about? Why not open ourselves to the people that open themselves to us?

Everything is uncertain. Everything is a maybe. Everything has possibilities.

Thats why, just let people come into your life, let the new chapter unfold itself, let your guards down, let people find you, let them know you a little better, let yourself breathe a little, let your unknown magic explode.”
