Cant take this away from me!

If you go ask a professor ' what is that one thing which no one can ever take away from you', he'd probably answer- knowledge!
If you ask a guy who has had a breakup and has discovered this hidden talent of philosophy in him then he'd probably not agree with the professor's answer and have his own philosophical take on it! agree upon it or don't but its his philosophical take!

This post is about this guy who has had a break up and since then he has discovered so many hidden qualities in himself and one of them being the ability to express what he feels, to do what he really wants to and doing which he feels.. glad!
So, he has had a breakup and he feels that this has changed his outlook on life rather that incident has given him a new outlook on life! Things don't look the same to him, things don't mean the same to him, he does not take things for granted, he has learnt not to take things for granted and most importantly, people are never meant to be taken for granted!
He is often lost in Nostalgia longing for that someone with whom he used to cherish his days.He is often seen lost in some random thought and when asked what he was thinking he says- 'nothing'. Truth is, many a times he himself has no clue as to what he was thinking but that moment of peace with his own self was a very satisfying practise and so he used to do it often- loose himself in deep thoughts.
He was just like any other ordinary guy,living an extraordinarily boring life with not so many friends to be proud of and so leading a very useless life with no goals or aims what so ever but one day something happened. this something led to gigantic changes in this guy.That something was LOVE...
He fell in love for the time ever but he wasn't sure if it was love or mere lust.so he tried to convince himself saying that it was infatuation and that he should get back leading his 'extraordinarily boring life'.

FAST FORWARD:
The guy has had a break up and now he feels like as if he has learnt something.He is not sure as to what exactly he has learnt but this learning has brought about voluminous changes in him...
Yes he does get depressed and he feels like he's having the most horrific time of his life and he goes on to adopting seclusion as a companion and then weeps away his sorrows with no one to console him or make him. He does ask himself the same question any other guy who's had a break up would ask himself- ' could life be any worse? '
period
He recovers, recovery is something that was really difficult for him and he somehow made it through and now he feels... enlightened! he feels like he has learnt something that he never wanted nor wished to but that has given him Hope, hope to live every new day like its the last day of his life! hope to smile and make others smile! hope to survive and live life KING size!
this hope has given him the will to pursue his dreams and in the way to pursuing his dreams, he starts dreaming even more and then decides to follow his dreams....

I haven't really thought about that part yet:D ... so anyway this guy is now a different person and suppose you happen to ask him- 'whats the one thing that no one could ever take away from you ?' then he'd probably say- 'my memories'
Ironically this guy cherishes his memories of 'good' old days unlike any other broken heart romeo who would curse his past, time spent with his preconceived 'love of my life'.
Yes... the guy actually uses those memories as a source of strength and tries to live everyday with a memory that once made him smile... the difference now is that he does not smile but neither does he cry!


Our guy finds hope in his everyday life, small events begin to give him the strength to live every day to the fullest and cherish every day like never before.So the guy starts to think of all the time he had spent in getting to know his 'preconceived love of my life' and all the time spent with her and how he cared about nothing else in the world other than her.the world then seemed pretty small with just her in it! but now it feels like as if he is into a totally different time frame.Things aren't the same any more. the world has suddenly grown in size and he is able to see beyond what any normal person could see. He could see all the pain and misery inflicted by man, he could feel all the pain and misery inflicted by man. so what does he do now?
he does not stop and so he decides to make it a point of doing something about it.at that point of time he comes across a link on some site and registers himself with an NGO and since then he desperately awaits his turn to take part in the NGO's activities. he goes on to join this NGO that helps underprivileged kids and starts devoting his time for a good cause.
There was something that ignited this drastic change in the guy. there was this spark which lit from no where and now has left a huge mark in our guy.
