I'm not going to talk about some dignitary or larger-than-life character here, nor any from the vast world of fiction...not because there is none who has influenced me, but because of the simple fact that right now, there is just one person who fits this description...he is someone in my life, he is amazingly real, and he influences me to see the world the way I do, every single day, every single moment...he does not need a name, or a label, or any salutation..he knows what I'm all about, and just the fact that he's there has changed my whole world, for a million times better. He came into my life during a rough phase, and till then, I'd been this person for whom everything was at the extreme level..my emotions, my decisions, the way I saw life and its happenings..learning to take things easy or as they come was definitely not my thing..'hyper' should have been my middle name, and depression and pessimism more or less made up my days..But he walked in like a breath of fresh air, embodying everything I did not have and yearned for, and freed me, from myself..I did not change completely overnight, nor did the world..but he made the sun appear through my dark clouds..I'm still crazy, melodramatic and hyper, but that's not the be-all and end-all of my life now.. I take out time to think, to judge and reason..to be optimistic..He makes me hope, he makes me happy..the whole world seems like the inside of a warm pillow to me, with its pros and cons, of course..But with him, everything is brighter, more colorful, there's music and a certain kind of magic which I'd hitherto been deaf and blind to..everything just appears so beautiful and special, because that is how he makes me feel..I felt I was growing up too fast, but he brought back the child in me, and made me love myself, relax and enjoy..He's my sun, it's his glow that I bask in, and somehow, strangely, we've made this world ours, together...
