Single, Happy and Content!!

Musings Under The Starlit Sky... When i first thought of starting a blog,i never had a clue that i will fall in love with it this much.Never thought that I would have any interest to sit in front of my laptop typing away all those thoughts that amuse me even after spending a good 9 hours in office in front of the computer.And today after having a view at my own blog posts, I guess it's the freedom of jotting down everything and anything that comes to one's mind without the fear of being judged, the main factor that keeps me going.
                   Isn't it the same thing that we search in the people around us? be it in a friend, a sibling, lover or even a personal diary ? To have someone with whom you can always go back and pour your heart out without any fear of being judged.. Someone who would hear all your nonsenses knowing very well that you might not really mean any single word you uttered ...Someone whom you can call up even  at the stroke of midnight  when you feel terribly lonely and is sure to lighten up your spirits....Someone for whom you know you are a priority and not a mere option...Someone who would actually take you seriously when the whole world thinks you are making a fool out of yourself...Someone who will not only forgive you but demand you to forgive yourself first  ...Someone who will see the best in you even when you are in your worst moods.. And someone who would have the courage to let you go ,knowing all the while without the slightest doubt that you will indeed return back ...Or simply someone with whom u can plainly and truly dare to be yourself..
                                     I have been lucky to have some really amazing people in my life who have been that "Someone" for me , be it in the form of my dad, mom, or my best friends... And to all those people who give me a raised eyebrow at my statement of being "happy and single and truly content with it" -- happiness needn't be tied to one  person...A morning walk with my dad in a rainy morning ,amply testing his patience with my splendid plans for the day (half of them which we both know would never materialize, but that still doesn't stop us from having the debate!!) ... a good pillow  fight with my brother (not that he necessarily needs a pillow for that matter! )  ...stargazing with my favorite music being played in the radio, all the while chatting away with my mom ..  fooling around with the best of  friends ....these are more than happiness for me.. :) ..When you have quite a lot of people who love you with all their heart, you just can't help being happy I guess :) **touchwood** ....
                          
                                                                          And as a parting note, here goes my new favourite quote I found randomly, which actually served as the inspiration for this blogpost:
Oh, the comfort - the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person - having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are, chaff and grain together; certain that a faithful hand will take and shift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then with the breath of kindness blow the rest away...
