FREE SPIRIT...

i often think of who i am... but never get a clear answer... i guess everyday i am a different person... so when you think you know me... ask yourself... how long have you known me? have many times have you seen me change?
a friend once called me a FREE SPIRIT... and i think he got the closest to knowing the real me... he told me to remember DREAMS... that i would not stop living because of someone who does not understands or cares about me... he taught me not to be afraid of change... "things change", he said, "you are a bird.., a free spirit! no cage is good for you... you belong up there... i've seen it and i know... its what you are... you are RADHIKA.. and i know who you are... and where you belong... dont let any obstacle stop u... i know nothing can stop you... but i have to say for the sake of it... letting go things is the strength... things will come, pieces will fall in its own place... all you need to do is to believe in yourself... you are the best... and would always be... i trust you.. and i say cause i care!"
what he wrote was only to be read and understood, only to be remembered and not to be kept... but i'm glad i saved it... beacause today things are changing... he is going away... i know he will always be there for me... looking out for me... but for the times that i am lost... i will have his words with me!
today i have someone special in my life... someone who is getting to know me... and when i talk to him... i teach him all that i was once taught... because we are all free... free to define our own lives... to go for our dreams... to believe in something that no one else understands... but every now and then... we need a friend's reassurance... not someone who will tell you how to do things... but someone who will stand by you quietly... and be a part of your dream.
