This post is in response to this week's prompt which is 

"I wish I had one more chance to ........................"

Many times in our life, we wish that we could go back and delete some events, undo our actions, take back our spoken words which hurt someone or just go back and re-live some precious moments. But unfortunately life doesn't give second chances.

I wish i had one more chance to believe in love and relationships - I don't know when and how, but somewhere in the journey of life, i lost faith in love and relationships. Its not that i am completely against it, i do believe in love when i watch it in movies or read it in novels, i do believe in love when i see my friends with their better-half/boyfriend/girlfriend. I do believe in relationships when people get married, i do believe in relationships when people call themselves best friends forever but i believe in it only when it happens with others. May be i am being too practical but its like love, marriage, friendships, relationships are not made for me or so i believe.

I wish i had one more chance to live my childhood - I didn't even realize when maturity snatched away my childhood from me. At an age when i was supposed to be innocently engaged in playing games with friends, i came face to face with the harsh reality of life. That single moment changed everything and transformed my innocence into maturity.

Since i won't be getting a second chance in reality, these wishes would not get fulfilled ever but even after that i am satisfied with my life. No matter what i have gone through, no matter what i have lost in the journey of life; I still, am proud of who i am because for everything i have lost, i have gained something better. I lost my childhood but i gained the strength which not many grown ups have. Struggles are part and parcel of life. 

If you lose something, you gain something much better; 

If your wishes don't get fulfilled may be you deserve something much more than what you wished for;

If you fall short of achieving your goals, may be its time that you put in more hard-work than the last time.

Its all about how you look at a particular situation. At the end of the day, 
whatever happens, happens for a reason and most of the time that reason is good. though it's a different story that we take a lifetime to understand the "good reason" !!
