Our longing for things are endless,
our expectations from people are boundless,
our pertinacity towards flawlessness is aimless,
our fixation on not giving up brings spitefulness.

While we’re occupied comparing our life to the rest,
we overlook to appreciate what we have as of now.
While we’re diligent discussing someone else’s life,
we disregard the flaws within us that need fixing.
While we’re busy blaming the Almighty for what we don’t possess yet,
we forget to acknowledge him for what he has given all along.

Never ascertain happiness in others,
for you’re bound to feel dejected.
Never begin to look all starry eyed at things,
for they undoubtedly blur into nothingness in no time.
Invest in yourself,
cherish yourself,
buckle up towards maturing into a better human,
set expectations from yourself,
because the key to your happiness is ‘YOU’.
