The Unfair Life

I made a promise to myself: No Instagram scrolling until exams are over. We’ve all been there, right? The books are open, the highlighter is in hand, but the phone is just sitting there, daring you to pick it up.

I broke that promise today. And honestly? I wasn’t expecting a 15-second reel to hit me this hard.

Life is all about the sudden goodbyes,

handle it with care.

It wasn't just a random video. It kept appearing on my feed—multiple times—until I finally stopped and really watched it. It was a story of pure love and affection, the kind that makes you smile at your screen.

But then, the twist happened. The girl passed away.

Even though I didn’t know them, it broke my heart. It’s strange how a stranger's life can make you feel so much in such a short amount of time. It makes you realize that the most unfair part of life isn't a bad grade or a busy day—it's the things we can't control.


My Final Thoughts 

Today, we are all so busy. We’re chasing goals, obsessing over success, and hunting for a future we haven't even reached yet. In the process, we start ignoring the people right in front of us. We ignore the friends who check in; we neglect the relationships that actually keep us grounded.

Then, it happens. You lose that person.

Suddenly, the "success" doesn't matter. You realize you’ve lost everything. Your nerves are shattered, and you just want to vanish into the memories of what used to be. This is the truly unfair part of life.

The line from that Instagram reel stayed with me like a ghost:

"Life is all about the sudden goodbyes, handle it with care."

It depicts a truth we all try to ignore: No one knows. No one knows how much time they have left with their friends, their family, or their favorite person. We spend so much time worrying about exams or petty arguments, forgetting that the people around us are fragile.

So, I’ve come to a conclusion.

I will not make friends—not anymore. It sounds cold, but it’s the truth. I am simply afraid to lose them. If life is nothing but a series of sudden goodbyes, maybe the only way to protect my heart is to stop saying "hello" in the first place.
