To anyone who is feeling scared, depressed, sad, lost, hurt, failed, devastated, lonely, suicidal— or all of these. When you are rising in life, you love even the little details happening around you. You love the green on the leaves of trees. You love facing the big challenges ahead. You feel handsome, not just physically but also mentally and emotionally. The world is at your feet. You think you deserve all your success, it is quite normal actually, giving credit to the hard work YOU have done for months and years on end. You almost feel invincible! But then all of a sudden, everything is flipped. The world turns on its head with or without your mistakes or blunders. People like Kapil Sharma, the heartbeat of the nation once; Yo Yo Honey Singh, who enchanted an entire generation by his music; and million others who once rose to supreme success and thought this is it, and they would keep ruling this arena of life —all realised this at some point, often bitterly, that this is not it. Life has its way of bringing anyone to his knees. Bad Poet, being one among the billions, realised the same thing. It keeps happening with me, you know, at least once every year; I get knocked down so bad that it feels I'll never get back up, ever. The green on the trees doesn't look green enough. The challenges scare so bad that I find escape into the things I know I shouldn't. It is not a great space to be. In fact, it's horrible. It's horrible because it leaves me in the middle of nowhere. I lose hope. When I try to come out of this dump, something keeps pulling me back, very rudely. It can happen for months with me! It's like a rock bottom in the trough of two rock bottoms. It's never easy feeling the things I feel at times. It's scary sometimes, sometimes it's awful. Either way, it does one good thing. It makes it clear to me that I was never invincible. The leaves were greener, yes, but it had nothing to do with ME working hard on some stupid thing. As I write this thing, I'm sure many of you are either rising or yearning to rise in your life in some way. Also, there are many of you who believe you are falling in some bottomless pit helplessly. Many of you will rise, many of you will rise out from the bottomless pit, and many of you will rise beyond your widest expectations. This will be awesome, but I hope you keep your balance, because YOU will fail again. You can trust me on this. I will repeat — YOU WILL FAIL AGAIN. It can be so terrible you could get scared of the idea of success. But one day you'll learn that this failing thing is pretty frequent. It happens with or without mistakes or blunders. It's not easy facing heartbreaks over and over again. But you know what's awesome about us humans? We never said we'd rise only once. And we never said we'd rise alone. We will rise again, yes, but this will not be about ourselves anymore. Because you see, when it's not about YOU, no thing can ever devastate you. Not even life. And then one day you find yourself drenched in the goodness of green even when it's winter outside. It is so green you aren't scared to fall anymore. And everytime you fall, you come out greener than before. Still scared of falling, bud?
