We were raised by a generation that was told to be secure, cautious at each stage of their life ,get a job, get married settle down, stabilize. But they raised us rather differently. I would say, there was a marked antagonism in the way our parents were raised and the way they raised us.
We were made to believe that we are special, each one of us. Sent on this earth to be the Kalki, the chosen one, the one upon whom no nature's law acts and he ultimately gets what he wants. Hell, if we want a unicorn, we would ultimately find it and befriend it.They taught us to dream and to pursue that dream. I am indebted to that. I mean what could possibly be the spillover? The spillover was a culmination of the way we were cherishing to be special, to be interesting in our life "trying to meet of unicorn" and the intrinsic weakness of getting weak due to influences we had on our time in due course of "fighting things out of this world".
The college life was the epitome of chasing this "unicorn" of ours. Dreaming "big" and getting it ultimately. Well the college time "big" was "trifle" compared to what life had in store. I mean those were targets like having a girlfriend, getting good marks, being cosy with friends etc.
Then came the real world.The unicorn was damn "fast" this time, in an unfriendly jungle. Social , economical, emotional each and every influence killing me, wrecking us. The unicorn getting out of our weakening eyesight numb legs running amok.
Now pain is intrinsic unbearable, unshareable though. I know chasing unicorn has made us weak, aged nevertheless. Entering late twenties and still chasing your "unicorn" when people ,you were with, have settled down enjoying life....even posting pics of their newborns!!
So now you realize that the world of yours and people you grew with have stopped being interesting and found something to cling onto and have settled down.
My friends keep chasing and have hope, keep getting whacked and weakened but at least win "some distance" each day. Tell your "unicorn" out loud in the deepest valleys of your heart..."Unicorn don't lose me..."
Dedicated to all those in their "late twenties" out there, still exploring, still trying to be interesting, still trying to evolve...still chasing their "unicorns"
