An Emotional Creeper

Though it is difficult to prove whether it is a curse or a blessing to be emotional but I believe it is just a personality trait. I feel that even emotional people should be proud of what they are. Why to hide something which is oozing out of your personality so effortlessly. There comes a time when life takes a full circle.....you are born, you study, fall in love and at times face the betrayal and finally get tired of searching that unconditional love and settle down.....compromise with harsh realities of life and face those practical people with courage.

One doesn't expect much after a certain age. Anu met her long lost friends through social media. At first it seemed as if everything is so beautiful, they seemed to be like minded people, they shared the same hobbies, inspired each other, chatted to their heart's content and everything was going on smoothly. This all went for years together.

Sometimes we think that we are caring about our friends, we are concerned about them and we are loving them unconditionally but we forget that we may be suffocating them with all our love and care. Then gradually she noticed that her messages were read after a very long gap of time. She used to wait for her reply for days together.

One day after gathering a lot of courage, she asked one friend out of that group about the reasons for such a delay. She was taken aback on listening to the reply. He said, "You are a good friend, very loving, very emotional and very caring but our time is segregated into so many creative things. ....I suggest you to explore new avenues, join some activities, read Good books and look after your health." Poor Anu, though disheartened and shocked realised one thing that how much ever loving one is, but one should not become an emotional Creeper. Yes, Creeper is a plant which leans on something for it's growth. In the same way some of us tend to become an Emotional Creeper....we tend to lean on our friends emotionally. Seldom do we realize that we may be emotionally suffocating others. They need space....This realization was a blessing in disguise for Anu. She started reading more books and started writing short stories and to her surprise.....people started appreciating her work. She started putting all her pains and emotions on the paper. Of all this, she learned two great lessons.......One was that she observed that one may be full of love to the brim and ready to pour all the love but the other person must be capable enough to receive it with all its intensity. Second is one should live holding and balancing all the emotions in a dignified manner rather than being an Emotional Creeper.
