Have I turned the last stone?


X is my passion, my ambition. I love X. I am at peace with X. I find solace in X. X defines me to myself. X has pervaded my dreams and my thoughts. One day, I met ABC. He said that I cannot achieve X, I cannot be with X. I asked why. He gave a reason. Obviously, the reason seemed stupid to me. I ignored his warnings and his words of dissuasion. I continued marching, in the hope to unite with X someday soon.

On my way, I met DEF. He argued that I am overly attached to X. I reasoned that they taught me to pursue what I felt strongly about. He agreed, but added, “Not blindly! Apply logic, calculate the odds and if the numbers are favorable, only then give it a shot!”  I replied, “My calculations look fine. Why do you doubt them?” He said because you are not supposed to have X. I asked why I am not supposed to have X, again. He mocked. Then he ignored. And he walked, away! I sighed. But I was energetic and passionate as before. He could not hurt my spirit. I was happy.

I kept fighting. Pointless to say, I hit rocks more often than not. I felt depressed at times for not uniting with X until now. I recalculated. The faith, the feel and the love, all were genuine. My rationale and my instincts were with me. I continued my struggle. I read pages. I read experiences of people. All success stories had been tough. I doubt they gave me inspiration, but yeah they were good enough to keep my hopes alive.

Today, I am still fighting. They say I am a rational guy. I know I am a rational guy. But today, they are questioning my rationality. They always taught me to be relentless for my dreams, for my love, for my passion. Today, the same people are telling me to change my course. They say I am crazy. They say I do not wish to face the reality. They say I am a coward. I have shut my mouth. I have shut my mind to their criticism. I am still fighting. It is because, the faith, the feel and the love, are all genuine.

I will keep on fighting until I am sure that I have turned the last stone. After that, I will accept my fate.
