Original Post

Pata nahi me aisa kaise ho gayaโ€ฆ
Pehle me aisa kahaa tha..
Pehle sambhalta tha pura din naukri aur raato ko jaag kar apne khudke liye kaam karta tha..
Paise kamane ke khatir laga deta apni puri jaan tha..
Dost gharwale sab khush me bhi has kar laata chere pe muskaan tha..
Aaj pata nahi kaha kho gaya woh insaan..
Pata nahi kaha kho gaya woh insaan..
Pichle dedh saal se uski karta talaash tha..
Ab toh dhundhna bhi kardiya hai band sochta hu kho gaya woh joh kaiyo ki jaan tha..
Aaj me hi reh gaya hu joh pareshaan hu khudse kyunki chahta hu wapas wahi me jaisa pehle me insaan tha.

Another paradox is that distracting yourself with emotion can result in either winning or betraying yourself

A lot of people put more effort into work just to avoid thinking about the past and this is how they later find themselves lost

But honestly this is often the expected phase after the moment we first lose ourselves because we reach a point where we cannot even do things the same way anymore

  • At the end thats our old version
