I See Myself In You~KY2

Dhruv, I saw myself in you when your heart broke. That feeling you start to grow for someone you know you can't be with, but still keep a hope. I also hoped and at the end, I was the one who got hurt, but put on a fake smile because I didn't want that person to get hurt too or feel guilty. It was my fault, I hoped. But one day I realized that smile isn't fake anymore. Not only because that person was happy, but also because it didn't hurt me anymore, because I could say 'I finally moved on.'

Aliya, I saw myself in you, when you felt you are going to lose your first love. In my case it was not only for a person, it was for my childhood's first toy, for a food that I loved, for a TV series that I watched, even very repeat telecast. The thing is it's not only about losing the first love, it is also the feeling of change. I knew things would change, I thought I will be incomplete without it, that I will not only lose my first love but I will also lose myself. And it did change, the toy broke, the taste faded and I lost my first love. I cried for days, months and even years. But the tears stopped and I lived. The feeling of survival was new but it was good and that's how I learned one of the biggest lesson of my life, to accept change.

Harshad, I see myself in you, when you become blind to get what you want, it's a selfish act, but sometimes it's okay to be selfish and love yourself more than someone else. Because I believe, if you can't love yourself first, you cannot love anyone else. Yes, I am also selfish and I love myself a lot and then my friends and family but I also try not to harm anyone.

Mukti, I see myself in you, when you laugh and joke around, but deep down there is no meaning towards it. I feel alone like you and it's not because I don't have any friends to share my feelings with, I have friends, but my feelings sometimes get so confusing that I can't make anyone understand. So I do what I am good at, forget about them and enjoy my life. There are times when those feelings come forward and tune out the whole world. So many feelings trapped inside me and yet I would feel so alone. The irony of it.

Manik, I see myself in you, almost every time I look at you. A person who cares for his loved ones but then again, is not bothered by anything. Who's eyes are cold yet tender, who is strong yet caring, who can be loved, but cannot be owned. so many emotions but no way to express them. No matter how much confident I am from outside but inside a part of me will always be afraid. Afraid to face my feelings and emotions, afraid to take risks and have faith, afraid to trust and love, afraid to get hurt. Maybe someday I will find someone for whom I won't be afraid anymore.

I see myself in you. All of you, but at the end of every episode don't we all ;)
