A try at optimism

Enough is enough. I have been filling this blog with too much negativity. Not just this blog but my mind too. Am calling it a day for being pessimistic. Not that I have sat underneath a tree and gotten all wise, it's just that I am fed up with myself and have been thinking through things some people, out of their good intentions, have said. It all adds up. Am not going to change overnight. I would only be fooling myself if I said so. But I have been trying to channelize my thoughts on a positive direction and this post is the beginning. I have been traveling a road that led nowhere. No I have decided to call it quits. I am just gonna take a different road in life, anticipating where it is gonna lead me. A recent incident in my life has thrown so many things into perspective. Those that I knew, but never bothered to act upon for so long. Well I am gonna leave this post with this poem. Here's to all those adventures we embark upon in life. Here's to all the bright sunny mornings in our life. Here's to life in itself. Here's to the beginning of a positive post. Let's just say I hope to stick on to it.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both.
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

  7. Kochuthresiamma : I had promised myself this place will not be loaded with negativity. Hence the silence. Life does not always obey our vows :)
