The Water's Always Changing....

"The water's always changing, always flowing, but people, I guess, can't live like that"
-Pocahontas, yet another Disney wonder.

Your life starts as a patch of mud, rocky, uneven, impure, unsure. Time, acting upon it as a  flowing river, softens it, breaks it down, into a smooth, level land, where you and all the people you care about can build happiness together. 

Wounds do go away. Time heals them, but like everything life does for you, it doesn't leave you with any promise or reassurance. Nope. That's something which tests your heart and its power, to trust and forget. Most of us aren't really strong enough to do that.

When something, hell, add any noun in front of "some", which you hold dear to you is taken away from you, or worse still, you are the one responsible for all the destruction you've bought upon them, it takes way more than " Its okay, nothing you can do" to help creep out of the corner you've hidden yourself in. So to all my dear friends, I know you do it out of the purity of your heart, but don't try to console anyone when they let out a torrent of tears on a torrid day. Believe me, sympathy is the worse thing you can offer.

In my opinion, which I was free to express when I last checked, Walt Disney has been THE greatest creator of fiction ever born. Every character that takes shape from the folds of his imagination entraps a portion of his soul, his emotions in it. Be it Aurora longing for freedom, Belle's defiance to protect someone you love, or even Anna, being repeatedly shut out. It was he, who gave every little princess a Charming to dream about, even if girls have started seeing Charmings in every tramp they come across, but that's really not the point. 
The human who inspired setting your mind free, belief in yourself, individuality.

So when someone asked me to abandon all that i'm good at to concentrate on something I'm not, I decided to say no, because you'll always see people that are better than you at things you aren't, you'll just never realize all the things you can do best. Even if there is enough on my CV already. 

Times have already leaped ahead, but alas, (if people even use that anymore), we haven't. We still live in that century where doctor or engineer is everything, artist, musician is fail, A girl with short hair and T-shirt and jeans is a GUY, and you just aren't meant to be who you are anymore. Shape yourself according to the family friend's children. Because even though there is a 90% chance you might turn out to be a prodigy, an enigma, you shouldn't care, because the society is going to brainwash you to just consider the 10% chance of failure.

The water's always changing, always flowing, but I guess people can't live that way.
