Come back to Planet Earth, Laki!

I'm in a point in life when everything seems to be going wrong. Friends, family, relationships.... I feel my world is blue and I'm not even able to sing a song in my mind. There was a time, a month ago to be exact, when I thought everything was perfect and my life couldn't be any better. And here I am, wondering what went wrong where.

10 years ago when we had bought our Lancer, it was our first fancy car, after a line of Fiat Padminis and Ambassadors. And we felt that we owned 'THE' best car in the galaxy, that the car was the most powerful and nothing could wrong. And in the first three days, on our first trip in the car, like the Titanic, we got hit. And that brought us back to Earth....we realised that it was just a car. And however powerful it was, if we were careless, it was bound to get hit and damaged.

And I guess that is exactly what has happened now. I was thinking that life was just perfect. And that it couldn't get better. But now, I've realised that however good life is, however great a relationship is, you have to work on it to make it last. And if you neglect people, how ever great they are, they are bound to get hurt and damaged.

I am thankful that whatever has happened now, happened now. If it had happened at a later date, it may not have been repairable. They say that you realise the value of things only when it slips out of your hand... I've experienced it, first hand. And I'm going to try everything in my power, to not let it happen. I'm back on Planet Earth!
