It's a weird competition out there and everything is relative to something. The social media presence is a fierce battle ground unbiased to the subject-intellectual, personal, impersonal, spiritual, political, sexual, satirical etc. All the personal milestones are now measured publicly and stamped significant or not significant enough. We are living a variation of "It's a jungle out there", only this time the vibe is polite, sophisticated but no less dangerous.
The familiar can play an amazingly refreshing role amidst this chaos. Just a knock on the door, a talk of the recent past, a face from the months that passed by, and a heavy laugh at coming together is all that we need. You never expected the unfamiliar would become familiar over time and that it would create a moment where everybody is just saved by coming together.
While the world celebrates you, you would have the courage to break your guards and share the uneasiness with familiar. You have no reason to be sophisticated, polite and more importantly not-yourself at 11:00 PM over macaroons. This is your window to admitting its not right but just alright.
This space is a circle of comfort. Best-friends ( Besties? Bae?), birthdays, milestones and merits may be overrated most of the times but they who take you back for the mess you are and smile across the table for not having changed is a mini-blessing we forget to appreciate.
