Dreams , Ahoy !!

Ships at a distance have every man's wish on board.
For some they come in with the tide.
For others they sail forever on the horizon,
never out of sight, ...

-Zora Neale Hurston

Legacy Characters !!!

We all reach a phase in our lives, when some of the people we know are not required, but are just there because they have been carried forward from the past. Even if some valuable time is spent with them, even if the memories are cherished, but as they emerge in front of you, now, the same warmth or closeness is not felt. Its then, when you realise, that that the role that person had played, is no longer plays an importance in the present script of your life.

I had always wondered, how certain things come to an end, by very minor changes in life, well the effects of these changes are huge, so we can't say the change was minor. And once again, I am overwhelmed with the feeling that I am no longer required, that the role of this certain character is over. And this is when you backtrack all the phases, and realise, what actually your character meant and why the character is, in the place, where he is now.

I guess this should add on to the previous statement I have made, friendship due to obligations. It is very difficult, for people, to remove these 'legacy characters' from there life, just because the past is very beautiful. And at times, it is difficult to send them packing, because you know at a certain point of time, they played a valuable role. But what the legacy character is feeling is not thought of, I guess, its being oblivious to the others need. I guess it hurts, when placed on a very pompous place, in the beginning, being treated with care and warmth, and taking that away, suddenly. In the end, it feels like, big words and no deeds.

From the first person's point, it is actually fair. Everyone has a right, to move on with their lives. Baggages, are difficult to carry, and everyone likes to shed them off where ever they can. Sometimes, it is not even realised, that there is a legacy character. There are always reasons or excuses why certain things are not coming up, they should be. And at times, it is obligation, doing it for the sake of other, why that character still lingers around, thinking that atleast that much she owes to the legacy character !!! Obligations !!! Its best if it is not there.

Things have to change, change is inevitable. Some are easy, some cause pain, but to avoid them is not possible. So its best to take the natural course. There are times, when you feel, that every thing is going with you, and suddenly, you realise, that the tides have changed. I guess its cyclic,
after every crest there is a trough, but again, after every trough, there is a crest.

Some Impressions, last for a life time, but
Some are more than Just Impressions !!!
