Part of Your World.......

"Sometimes, we wish to be a part of someone else’s world."

 - tweeted by your blogger last December 15

The photos they post and the status updates they compose give us a peek into their lives – the comings and goings. When they are sad and blue, we wish to be beside them, to offer a warm embrace, and uplift them up with words both comforting and reassuring.

When they are happy, we also want to be near them, to join in the merriment, and add more sunshine to their lives. When they appear to be immersed into something, we want to cheer them on and give our steadfast support.

But sadly, we know very well that they will never happen except in the rarest of our dreams. All that we can do is watch from a safe distance. Click like, or write a comment. What holds us back is the thought that there are things that are simply not meant to be.

Our hearts reach out to them. But they have created an invisible wall, which kept our feelings at bay. Alas, we have to retreat, go to a safer ground, and just observe silently from a distance. But no matter how far we are, the coldness of their aloofness can still be felt by us, which prompt us to recoil further.

We can only hope that someday, the universe and its elements will conspire to make one of our wishes come true: to become a part of someone else’s world.

Have a sentimental yet joyful Christmas everyone.
