*Everyday is a surprise - June vibes*
It's story time on how I learnt to drop my baggage of hurt
Which made ample space in my memory to sort
I have bittter sweet instances with my neighbours from parents home
As I stay abroad,for one help I had made a phone
I didn't like how the aunty took it as a barter arrangement absurd
To provide a job to her relative in return for the water she gave my dad
My next brief visit too I thanked her and I thought it was over
She expected me to remember forever the favour
This time on my visit I didn't feel like speaking to anyone
I did my clean up work and had my own tension
It's afterall my home without my parent
So I was in my own zone apparent
As I didn't come to meet her personally she felt bad
And told my brother that I am ungrateful and selfish as she's sad
Initially I was upset as although I speak limited but I am social
Had I met her outside I would definitely be cordial
However knocking someone's home just to say I am here
Also I didn't realise if anyone would even care
My feelings were negative and thought there was no need to stay in touch
But when my brother said that a little smile is a weapon such
A simple 'Hi hello' makes heart transformation very much
Why to be bitter to anyone, she is getting old
I achieve nothing by being cold
So as he was explaining me I realised and said if she is around
Over video call I spoke to aunty and her lost smile I found
I felt so happy to learn that a 30 second of greet
Could change mood and feelings to positive treat
Life is too small to hold grudges to core
Later we can only regret if they are no more
Letting go made me feel free and light
To my surprise , soul now feels pure and bright !!!
