Eternity

On my way back above the beautiful clouds of Canada and Greenland, I was watching Eternity.

Maybe we can watch it together, but the plot is somewhat this – One old woman dies in her old age, a few days after her husband has died.

When she goes to her afterlife, she meets her husband and also her first husband, who died a long time ago.

The movie is about who she chooses to be with in her afterlife, for Eternity.

God forbid, something of the sort happens to us anytime. But when we are ripe and 100 years old, maybe that time will come to us too.

So, do we choose each other then? Even for an eternity?

The best part about this question to me is that I already want to spend an Eternity with you.

When I read about vampires in Twilight, like every other teen out there, I also wanted to live infinitely. That was cool to me. But growing up, I realised that I’d be super sad if I were the only vampire among all of the people I love. It’d be just painful.

So then I went on the extreme end of the spectrum, thinking it’s better if I see the end sooner, and not cross even half the celebrated human life span. And then not so many better choices led to lower appreciation for all things beautiful, like love and life. A lot more individualistic, only romantically tho.

So, if you’d ask a 24-year-old Drishti, that if I know who I’d choose for an eternity, I’d probably be breaking up some nice couple (or someone like my mom, who, even tho not a nice couple, I wouldn’t want her eternity to be this sad) for my benefit or just not choose at all. Not choose Eternity itself.

That changed when a handsome fellow met me and told me how he felt about me, and then I told him how I felt about him, and then I fell in love with his big, Barbie eyes hehehe.

The good things about love is you put all your heart. That’s the bad thing too 😦

So, when someone goes through something tragic, I just hope and pray it never happens to me. I know it’s inevitable, but I am scared.

But when I saw Eternity, it gave me hope. A hope for eternity. A hope to have you for more than this life itself. I mean, sure, the 7 janam is something I have thought about and love the idea, but this is infinity. An infinity of living with you.

So, do I not love any other prospects (for Eternity) so much?

I do. I love them with my whole heart. But I want you more than anyone else. And if I can see us together for an infinity, nothing makes me happier.

A life of losing things, losing people, losing yourself, and in the end losing life itself – it’s a series of different painful things coming at you, till you become nothing.

And I don’t mean life is sad. It’s not. But going through it is not easy. People around you make the journey better.

And if I have someone like you, where I have a shoulder to cry on, a hand to hold, a chest to lay my head on, and the eyes to meet every day, the pain might feel bearable. We’re quite young to see any real pain yet, I believe. But when it comes, love will help us sail.

I am okay to have things changing, switching, and moving around as long as I have you by my side. I am more than okay. I’ll live through all of it and still be content.

And I’d do the same for you. Always and forever. Hopefully, for an eternity 😉
