Grief is a funny thing- it ebbs and it flows. You don’t know the depth of it until you have fallen in and there is no getting out. You wait for it to feel ok- and some days it does. You think it’s finally over, but that’s the thing about grief- one day you’re laughing over a joke and in another, the smallest memory reminds you of them.
Grief is like having a black hole in your heart and you’re slowly getting consumed by it until you implode into yourself. It’s like having a silent scream in your lungs that you can’t turn off. It’s like karma getting you back for your worst sins
It’s something I wouldn’t want my worst enemies to experience, but I wish they could understand- the thing about grief is- there is no coming back.
I want to dress you up in fancy China and swirl you around. I want to engulf in your delicious aroma. I want to strain you through pursed lips and allow you to blot my troubles away as you spread warm tingles throughout my body.
I will keep you close to me forever and (coffee) will (n)ever come between us.
Two phrases that help hoity-toity MBAs in getting out of every damn situation unscathed- ‘having said that’ and ‘it depends’.
Here’s an example:
Person: Hey dude, is that an apple or a tomato?
MBA graduate: Since it smooth, red and crunchy it could be an apple. Having said that, it is also round, soft and bumpy it could be a tomato. It depends.
Even during horrible days, there are little things in this world that conspire to bring that little curve of happiness back to our faces.
