It's 'high' time..

Do you remember that feeling of being high?  A time when you smile a little wider, or laugh a little louder, because you are too happy to care for the world. When everything around seems just perfect.  It is neither the past nor the future that you are worried about. You are living in the present. You sometimes choose to break the rules or do things you decided not to do, because at that time you are just living for yourself. You might get addicted to this feeling of high or you might miss it when you are sad. All because this feeling lets you be the person you are, without any fear of being judged.

So what would it be like to be high forever? Yes, but this time being high on a passion. One thing that drives you, that lets you be yourself. It could be anything, a hobby, a person, a bike, anything that makes you addicted, anything that defines you, anything that makes you feel. When you find this something, you will always have something to look forward to, something that makes you happy. You will not need someone’s company to escape the world, you will rather want to be alone with that addiction; getting high on it and forgetting the world.

People always find new ways of getting high, be it a quick cigarette or 60 ml vodka. But very few people know how to get high on things you love, that one passion that makes you different from others. Today you might not know what is that passion for you, but one day you will. And till then, you keep looking. It is not happiness that you are in search for. Happiness is just temporary, it comes and goes and the cycle continues. The journey is about looking for the passion, the passion that defines you.

You would have heard many experiences of people being drunk and their so-called stories of adventure. But instead listen to the stories of a person who has dedicated her life to dancing or a person who swears by his guitar or someone who has held a tennis racket since the age of 4. These people are drunk too; drunk on the idea of life.  It is this high that you are looking for. That feeling which does not cost anything, which does not leave you a hangover, instead it is something which makes you more and more drunk.It is time you start looking for things that make you go crazy or that one thing that is worth fighting the world for. It is time you start getting high, drunk on that thing called ‘passion’…
