In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Long Exposure.”
As soon as I saw the words Long Exposure I thought this was going to be one of those prompts about photography. And I am no expert at all the technical talk when it comes to photography. I just take a few good pictures.
But then the prompt is about a person I am supposed to know for the longest period of time and how that person changed over time.
I always get this thought as how people change with time. Most of the time it will be about me. Honestly I am the only person whom I have known the longest. And I can say with a confidence that I do know myself better than anyone else. Although I would say that I have changed a lot over the years I don’t think I have changed for the worse.
I am getting stronger by the day. I am able to say no when I don’t want something. And I am able to do it in a way that does not hurt anyone. I am able to smile even when I am hurt. I am able to see the starlight on the darkest of nights. I do live in a dream world filled with beautiful gardens, beaches and cottages. I am happy in my own little bubble.
And most of all I am proud of the person I am today.
A long way to go by and still a lot to learn about myself. More confidence to gain. A lot to do. So many places that I need to visit. So many experiences to achieve. And no more regrets.
Only we know ourselves best – right? How long have I known you? Three months? Why is it that I feel that I have known you forever? There are some things that are very difficult to explain, some questions that are very difficult to answer.
As Dad said, every nano-second, every breath, every moment is pre-destined and the past and the future are immaterial. What matters is this moment! Wishing lots of good things for you and many wonderful memories to cherish!
May the force be with you 🙂
If one know self completely…all the problems in this world will be resolved…isn’t it?
Well knowing oneself completely is an ultimate aim. But working towards it would surely help for the betterment. Surely…
That is so true….
