The Urge to Live, Love, and Grow

 By Sai Yadav | Tech • Life • Experience • Motivation

The urge never really leaves.

To live. To love. To grow.

It’s like something inside keeps pushing,

even when the world feels heavy.

One day you stop for a second,

look back,

and realize how much has changed.

The faces around you,

the feelings you once swore would last forever,

even the way you see the world—

all different now.

What hurts is…

we never get a proper goodbye

to the old versions of ourselves.

They just stay back somewhere,

in those days that moved too fast.

Days we never noticed until they were gone.

And then there’s you, Chaudaryy 

Don’t play hide and seek with me.

Don’t test me.

Show me your face,

your real self.

I know your mischiefs.

I know your games.

You’re my beloved—

but don’t mess with me.

Not this time.

I keep doing things that scare me,

just to prove to myself I can.

But I stay away from things that hurt—

because I’ve had enough of that.

And funny thing is—

I don’t even know Hindi.

But I watch the movies anyway.

Somehow,

they understand me.

They speak for people I don’t even know,

and at the same time,

they speak for me.

Life feels like that.

Foreign, confusing,

but still familiar enough to keep going.
