The Bitter Truth

Was a little scared while writing this. It's something that is inevitable, but still a harsh reality. I won't jump directly into the topic as it is something that is very frightening to think about. Okay, so here is the thing, I woke up today like a normal Friday morning and carried out my schedule. Hit the gym and worked out for like about 2 hours, and that is where it all began. I was listening to some random lo-fi songs and working out when suddenly, this one song came up. Don't know if many people have heard this song named "Happiest Year" by Jaymes Young. I zoned out while listening to this one particular song. Not being dramatic or anything, but it was something that I realized at that very moment. 

Now if y'all know the lyrics, it says Cause you gave me peace, and I wasted it. This one line made me realize the importance of life and how we are constantly neglecting the people around us and not respecting their values. Now I know some people might say this is for friends or best friends or anyone. But no, this is dedicated to our Parents. Yes, you read it right, Parents. We often fight with our parents for something or the other and there is no denying that fact. We don't physically hurt them, but mentally cause a lot of damage. Now you might say, how mentally, what are you saying? Well, this is how.

Parents try to provide everything to their children, food, clothes, home, but most importantly a loving and safe environment. We are not appreciating them enough. Believe me, you must be like I do appreciate them, but deep down you know that there are many times, when if a parent is unable to provide something to their child, we act like they don't love us enough and argue and fight with them. But I guess, there is one thing, we all forget. THEY ARE GROWING OLDER EACH DAY. They won't say this to our face, but they need us. I have seen many kids fight and argue with their parents over many things. Won't reveal the name, but I have seen one of my friends do such a thing, and also have seen their parents crying because they don't feel like they have done enough for their ward. 

If you think that you argue with your parents, but have never seen them cry, so they don't cry. Well, you are completely WRONG. We all upset our parents, in one or another way. The scariest thought is something that is although inevitable, yet scary. We all know a day will come when we have to face the hard truth of our parent's death. Well, just give this a thought, that they are on their deathbed and are feeling bad about all the things they were unable to provide you. This one sentence, itself broke me down. But, don't worry, there is still time. Go and hug your parents, tell them how grateful you are for all the things they have provided us with. It's never late and believe me, the smiles on their faces would be priceless.
