Sitting all alone in the college I was wondering how I would feel a few years down the line. Would I ever come back to this place filled with wonderful and caring people? Would they remain the same? Would I ever meet someone as caring and loving as the friends I had then.
As time flew by I realized that I lived in a fantasy world then. When I actually believed my friends would give me some importance and take care of me, with my well being on of the few things that they would never de-prioritize or rearrange prioritize in life. Life has changed ever since my college days it’s been a journey filled with events. As a student we would always wonder where will I end up? Would I ever be able to get into a “Dream” company would I be able to study further in a reputed institute. At the end of the day it was just a dream to achieve the material reality of life and that seemed to get with it all that a human needed in life.
But, alas down the line now with my dreams shattered and looking at the world where I have learnt plenty and still believe it just the miniscule percentage that the world has to offer. I wonder why always as humans we tend to try and achieve more dreams about being there at the pinnacle of success. But have we ever wondered what success is? Being successful would it just mean “to be popular”, “to be looked as an idol”, “to be the richest person” or “Happy and content in life”?
I really don’t know how to be, just happy and content. When I’m sad and wonder what bought upon these changes in life I only wish I could hold on to everything precious in life. Like the infinite love that my parents were ever ready to shower or realized that my friend was just standing at the corner of the street while I was busy trying to make a “future” trying to be a resilient women. Rubbish.

success..nice blog. The definition does vary for different people like you said. The definition changes for the same person over a period of time. But one thing I always remember, "Change is the only permanent thing in this world". Nice thoughts :)
Well, good post, I must say. But I think you are less worried about success than about what you have lost in the quest for success. I guess you lose some to gain some. Your priority is success over the other precious things, I feel you just make up your mind and should be prepared to sacrifice them.
Anyways, I am sure you now have your priorities all set. All the best!
U are going thru a "mid-life crisis" already ;-)
