There's gotta be a good life

Got some time to yourself? Think about how many dreams have we stacked up in the store room of our heads? Nobody cared to file them, and now they're a big mess. Waiting to be arranged, Waiting to be deleted. Make space for the new dreams. Live on your dreams but don't thrive on it. A friend once told me "Reality is a lie, Dreams are for real" And now I know that maybe.. just maybe the truth.

But in this "lie" we live, we come across certain moments that deem far more interesting than our dreams. Moments we spend that could be a first or a last. More often than not, it's a last that really touches my heart. Today was another goodbye, a temporary goodbye to a dear old friend who also happened to be my cousin. Whenever I had a problem with my PC and I knew if I interfered I'll screw it up, Dinuka aiya was always one call away. He'd invariably come and fix it with his awesome tech sense. He wasn't the best with expressions. And he didn't pick his words carefully, and sometimes he sounds so cheesy! Haha. But heck he was being himself. Not the sharpest, but probably the smartest.

We got together at the usual family cricket pitch, which also happens to be invaded by passing vehicles. Yeah yeah they call it a road. We've played on this "pitch" since we were as short as the stumps. And memories galore. Dinuka aiya might have probably played his last match on this pitch today. I wonder if he'd ever have this much fun in Aussie. Nah! In Aussie you wouldn't have to jump into a paddy field to fetch the ball, and come out with mud up to your knees! You wouldn't have obese cousins and lazy uncles to joke about and go bonkers all together.

That's when I realized, dreams are a bit too big to digest. Dreams are better stored than dwelled upon. It's the moments that we have to capture and keep close to our hearts. Moments that we may miss if we don't live it. Hope you'll ace it in Aussie, and be back with a Dr. to your name. Miss you I will. But I know there's a good life waiting.
