CHILD TO CHILDREN, THE ONE ABOUT YOUR PARENTS

Remember those days when you were a kid and you used to fly and run around in happiness like nothing just bothers you in this world. Those are the days "anyone" would want to live in again and again. “Anyone" includes your parents as well. Let’s take a moment to think about what all they sacrificed for you, keeping in mind "your happiness".

They grew up as a child just like you did, they felt happiness as kids, felt pressure as students, felt even more pressure as they grew up. They have been through various griefs and sorrows and some very bad circumstances but not one second, they would have thought of giving up on you. But we barely realize or know about these things.

It’s like an infinity loop of life, child to having children and back again.

What if we could remain the same kids forever till our life ends? What if happiness is all that exists? What if people around you support you all the time? What if there was no death?

There are no answers to these questions as they are like facts that the world is made up of. We can do nothing but just accept the same.

But a few alternative ways exist,

Parents cannot live the life of a kid by themselves again, but they live it through a mediator called child. You even now see your parents turn into 5-year-old babies when they see a baby crawling towards them.

Just imagine how your mother would have felt when you first said "mom..."

It would have been the best day of her life.

Your parents would remember every single part like this in your life starting from the day you said your first word till the day you chose your life partner! They save up these memories and think about how all you grew up at various stages of life and smile, just like how you think of your school and college memories and smile. But at times they don’t agree with you, they have all the right to not agree with you. What fun is life when you are right all the time, it needs its own spices and flavors.

But remember the only thing that matters most to them in their deepest hearts is you and you only.

Sometimes you might disagree with them, or they might even be wrong, and you may be right, but that does not mean that you can budge upon them. Make them understand your feelings, they have already been through a lot for your welfare don’t give them more to be worried about.

After all, they had the right to live their dreams, but they had to give it up so you can live yours. So next time you think your life is the only thing that matters to you, think what would have happened to you if your parents thought the same!

They took care of us when we needed them, don’t you think we too ought to do the same.
