Don't let yourself go

One of the popular and most inspiring song close to my heart goes like this,

“When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on.
Don't let yourself go, everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes.”

First time I heard these words, it was nothing more than a soft lyrical song. But the day came when I realized the true meaning of each word knit together to console and inspire the broken heart.
There has been a phase in my life when my world was falling apart, everything I did made no sense, and no one seemed around. Loneliness filled most of me, gradually everything lost meaning and truly both day and night seemed never to end. There were many to be blamed for my state, I had enough of it all. I just let it go, floating like a lifeless leaf on water, with no destination, no fate and above all no hope.

There would be some who would agree with me, feel linked, may feel pity, but there will be few who would tell me, all I did was a consequence of my own act. I respect both the class, but all I know is, I walked the road and for those who feel linked, may you find some hope, for other its’ just a tale.
There comes a time in life when love, friendship, success, happiness and above all self esteem betrays us, nothing motivate us in life. We stare in the dark, waiting for a ray of hope, closed eyes in sunlight trying to avoid any glare. We try to find ways to escape and find ourselves at the same place each day. I have been no exception.

We loose the direction in life, divert from the path of success and all that matters most to our success, and feel that the end of it all. Friends; that is not the end, that me be a big blow, but life ends when we loose our self faith.
None of this made sense to me then, but now it all so clear. What I retained in those days of agony was the trust of being me. I let life take control and for some time I let things go around making no sense. Soon came the time, when the loneliness and grief started to pinch me hard. The sense of being choked made me think the unthinkable, staring in those nights all alone, made me wonder what I was doing and who I was waiting for my rescue.

I tried to console my wounds with words that would make me cry, reliving the agonizing pain in my heart. What this song did was totally reverse, it was just a plain and simple concept which we all over look. After-all, please remember, wonders always come in small and simple packages.

What this song made me realize was, so what if I am hurt, everyone is hurt once a while and everybody cries. But once you cry you have to hold onto someone who can see you through the pain. Ask yourself, Who best can do that? The answer for me was, none but myself, who understood me the best, like no one can.
I asked myself, had my love or friends understood me, why would they leave me.

Like the protein dissolving in the immune system, exploding the burst of energy, suddenly it all started to make sense. Its important to get hurt, it’s important to cry, it’s important to loose. Why is it so? Unless you are hurt, you don’t realize the level of endurance and unless you cry, you don’t realize the worth of laughter, unless you loose, you don’t realize the joy of winning.

Like two faces of a coin, like sunlight to every night, life lets us all live both aspects, journey through the course, understand the importance of each emotion.
Its human tendency to be annoyed by the same course being followed each day, life is all about change, with change come experience and change make us susceptible.

Above all, the wise said, “Change is good”
So I urge you all when the time is not right,

“When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on,

Don't let yourself go, everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes.”
