Whom would you do 'it' for....
"Do it for the one in the mirror"
Silly as it sounds, at some level it seems to make sense. One could say i'll do it cos thats what is expected by them (the omnipresent 'them', who seem to be the be all and end all of everything always..) or its what i really want, so am doing it for myself. Then of course, there's the "for parents, for friends, for the one important person, for this one and for that one."
But spare a thought for the one in the mirror? The one who shows you everything the way it is, the one truly honest face, irrespective of the situation, who'll look back at you and show you the thoughts, you'd much rather avoid. The one who mirrors how far you've actually gone, and yes it is you who is the one responsible, even when you'd be wont to believe that it is a day from someone else's life. When life seems surreal and things that happen arent those that would normally happen to you, the one face that can confidently erase any trace of doubt about the harsh reality of the situation, is the one that looks back at you from the mirror. The supposedly unreadable eyes that you'd like to call your own, stare back, mirroring the same thoughts, same emotions and somehow dont seem all that mysterious and secretive anymore. Wherever, whenever, whatever, it'll be there and it'll be brutally honest.
So how about, for once, do it, whatever "it" is, for the one in the mirror, for the one that'll be around and so that you can confidently lock gazes and say yes, i did it for you.

and so it begins...
They said i should write, said it helps relieve and relive.. here we are then, attempting to do just that. Now what remains to be seen is how long it actually lasts, hopefully this isnt it- the beginning and the end.
