Parallel lines

Parallel lines. The first thought that comes to anyone's mind is that they never meet. I have always thought how unique it was. They are merely two lines which never meet each other but exists beside one another.

That is how some relationships are. They can either be the relationship with our parents or the relationship with our friends or the relationship with our soulmates, just any kind of relationship.

Some relationships can be like intersecting lines, they get closer to each other until they intersect, but once they intersect they head in different directions. Human minds and thinking are complicated but the relationship with one another is as simple as that.

Some get closer to us, get to know us well than any other only until they achieve what they wanted to. Once their duty is accomplished, they slowly start fading away, which begins from keeping distance from us. And then gradually as we realise what has happened, we tend to accept the reality and move on our way too. People like that become an old memory to the other, it may be bad or it may be good , it depends on one's perspective.

Beautiful relationships last longer only where there is this element called "consistency". The longer a person or a feeling stays the stronger the relationship gets.

A pair of parallel lines never intersect but continues to be one until it could. If either of the lines is absent, then the remaining line becomes just a simple straight line. A line's mere existence plays a very vital role in a pair of parallel lines. The other set of relationships are like these. Never completely clicking with each other, but always there for each other. Those little differences between a couple of humans are what knits their relationship tighter and makes it long lasting. Without those kinds of relations one doesn't get to feel the essence of life.

The little compliment, the sight of encouragement from each other , the mere existence of the other and the belief that they would be there for each other during the toughest times of their lives is like the little ray of light that shines through an aperture.

There could be millions of people like intersecting lines but one day, they all eventually erase us from their memories. There can be millions of people like the parallel lines and everyone stay with us and witness the journey of life together until they wish to. And the time we accompany each other are some of the precious times of our lives that will be cherished even after one is gone.

Beauty lies in the place where the companion feels equally happy for one’s success. Hope we all get to meet different types of people and learn a lot as we cross paths in the upcoming year!!

Advance Happy New Year beautiful people!!
