How do I make them understand what this rectangular device has given me and what it means to me?

This phone was there when no one was. It never questioned my faith. It gave me an identity that was never ready to exist around my people. It made me believe in this mad world. It gave me the hope that I had lost on people. It stayed by my side when I hated myself.

A lifetime of rainy days. A lifetime of sunsets. A lifetime of the bittersweet feeling of wanting to meet someone at school but hating on school at the same time. I miss how chalk and boards were a usual sight. How pure my love was. I miss how the world seemed so big and accommodating. I crave to go back to school. But this time, I would know how I will never get to live it again. I would bid my goodbye to all the people I know I will lose soon, some to death and some to life. I would live everyday knowing that I will never be able to trust the world the same way again.

"You see, dogs whine too much. They bark too much. They need attention and care 24/7. Cats don't. They don't need a lot from others, very low maintenance as well call them. They keep themselves very clean you know. They are not messy..."

We wait for the cat to love us. We give our all while unintentionally ignoring the dog.

My tragedy is that I was born a dog. My love is like a dog but I am slowly learning to become a cat.

Of all the people who once felt like home.

यहाँ रोज़ मरने को जीना कहते हैं

बिखर के टूटने को मज़बूत होना कहते हैं

अपनो की गंदगी सहने को वफादारी कहते है

विनम्र होने को कमज़ोरी बताते हैं

चीखने को बुलंद कहते हैं

और शांति को व्यर्थ मानते हैं

फांसी लगाने पर कायर बताते हैं

और मज़हब की लडाई को ज़रूरत बनाते हैं

औरत की आत्मनिर्भरता से खौंफ खाते हैं

और जानवरो में इंसानियत पाते हैं

सच-मुच जिंदगी एक सज़ा ही है
