Life seemed dull and unexciting on the deck; everyone just seemed to be black and white. She unlocked the door and entered… walked inside in full blown Technicolor. The ambiance changed and she kindled life into everyone, everyone wanted to share a moment with her. She had that vibe about her, a strong spark that emanated a sense of achievement, high spirit, laughter, happiness, undying passion and all things good, all things desirable! She felt good, she felt elated, she was wondering why till some time ago and now she knew… she was back, back to what she had always been. She was once again her old self. Someone she loved and missed so much and the love showed!
It had been the season for break ups – some of her close friends, some people she just knew… and she herself had parted ways with someone she loved so much! Yea it had been a season for break ups, tears, confusion but truth be told she had recovered faster than she imagined… no she dint quite fall out of love with that special someone in her life… she just accepted things as they are, wished him the best she could and moved on with more faith than ever before… She had not felt such elation in the recent months. All the worries and sadness seemed secondary… unimportant. She knew there would be someone special in her life, she would marry and have a great loving family but that was all in the future… for now she was happy with everything she had done.
There were no regrets – she knew that to plan a destiny with someone both people involved needed to be equally committed and that wasn’t the case… She wasn’t dismayed by the goodbye. She knew farewells are necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends. So she had charted her course, steered her ship and embarked on an exciting cruise! She knew what she had to do… and she was quite excited about it… she could feel a rush of power, a thrill she had longed for since long was now running through her veins… she knew that things would never be the same again.
Momentarily, she pushed aside these thoughts; resumed meeting the people she knew, acknowledged the presence of some insignificant others and slowly walked up to the window with a drink in her hand. In the distance she saw a group of dolphins dancing and prancing and smiled, she was racing ahead of everything else; everyone else and she could not help raise her glass and say “Cheers!” to acknowledge them, her and the way ahead!
