When I woke up today,  I saw was my brother’s Rubik's cube on my table. The cube bathed in sunlight. The colourful gleams emerging from it. It was so beautiful. All the faces neatly colour coded and arranged reflecting the light. What a sight to behold.
        
          I took the cube rearranged it so that it was not solved anymore. Kept it back where the sun's light hit. But the beauty it held vanished this time. It struck me that only when solved according to the colour does the cube look beautiful. The scattered colours ruined its beauty.
      
          I think the same goes in life too. Unless you are surrounded by people who matches your vibe you won’t shine bright. It took me long to learn that. Now when I look back I think I made mistakes with so many people I associated with. They made me dull and broken. And did I learn from that? No! Absolutely not.
  
          Still I’m the same old me. Too kind to let go and easily trusting. And I guess the biggest mistake I made is why I feel so lonely most of the time. May be you need people with your vibe beside you to enjoy your life to the fullest. I regret choosing without thinking. Now I’m left alone. My friends never get me. They live in a world where I don’t belong. I tried adjusting. But I guess I’m not a girl to give up her comfort. Took me a lot of time to realise that I will never belong. I’m now worried that I might be a little late to distance myself from them, to let go. I might hurt them and me in the process
      
          But I feel like a free bird who has been caged. They have been caged for life that they don’t see the difference. I feel stuck. I feel suffocated. Am I too late to fly? I’m the girl who flew. I think it’s time I get rid of my shackles, my inhibitions. Let myself free and leave them behind. Time to soar high, feel the wind and sky again. To be FREE.
