No, they don't breakeven

A person's every action (as well as inaction) has an effect, a consequence, a reaction, a residue, an eventuality, a bottomline. The cycle never ends. Every word ever uttered, all feelings left unsaid, little smiles kept inside, bursts of laughter let out, ounces of strength poured out, courage found and tested, inspiration received and felt, hope being robbed, faith being questioned, faith restored, kisses lovers embrace, distance that separates soulmates, fights picked because we care this much, a sweet surprise from a boyfriend, a mother's phone call that made our day, a father's comforting hug, conversations between the long-lost friends, movie-marathons on friday nights, inside jokes only you and I understand, the moment the traffic light turns green on on days we are in a hurry, the smell of a freshly brewed cup of coffee, the song we dance to when we're alone in our room, promises broken, promises fulfilled, morning emails we get from our best friend, our favourite pair of pants, the sound of the evening rain, our daily trip to the gym, the Italian BMT (without dressing because we're on diet) we just had for lunch, plans made for this week, plans made for the next five years. Plans we made but did not happen.

Dreams only dreamers dream of, reality only practical beings can comprehend.

Everything has an aftermath. Every action has a reaction. Whether we can see it or feel it or don't give a fucking damn ; a reaction in whatever form has happened, is happening, and continues to happen - wherever, whenever. The Script says it best. When it comes to matters of the heart and soul, no, they do not breakeven. The 2-second smile we give to the homeless man by the street may mean nothing to us, but it may be the only smile he ever got all week. An sms may cost you 20 cents; nothing less nothing more, but it may mean the world to the person who receives it.


Nothing ever breakeven. And this is as much amazing as it is scary. So make peace everything we do, everything we did not do, everything we say, everything left unsaid. Make peace with what they might bring or what they might not bring. 


Make peace with that. Make peace with that.
