They call it settling in.... I call it a new family

       Sometimes, we try. We try                                                         to make a niche for ourselves,
everywhere we go. Some places, we go alone.. at some others, we hold another hand. Sometimes, there are people who stare at us when we walk by and sometimes, we're ignored. Life can throw some specifically difficult people to deal with... yet sometimes there are people who lead you through the dark phases.
        Many a times... situations get tough. So much so that, we almost give up. We forget the reason we started it all for... and that's the time the important people walk in. The people who remind you... not of all the greatness that lies in achieving... but in the warmth and the beauty of the journey. The journey that we don't merely travel, but live each moment from the time it begins... hence making it so important to end it correctly.

         These things, I am reminded of, each day, as it passes by. When I observe, like a wallflower, all the people I meet and mingle with, I realize that this is the beginning of nourishing a new family. A family that teaches you, fights with you, argues like there's nothing beyond it, loves and nurtures you, at every point of your life,as you grow. 
         And today, I realized that its not just about getting accustomed to some people, is not about settling in, but about enjoying the company, the crazy jokes, emotional moments and the mad stories. I am actually becoming a part of one such amazing family.. with people so much to learn from.
