We all have struggles in our life, some of us have big struggles and some of us small but struggles are struggles just because u have an issue that doesn't sound big to others doesn't mean it's not big, not everyone can feel what we feel.
So here's a story of a girl who struggled and what happened during and after that struggle?
Richa was born in a middle class family,
her dreams were big but her situation not so good... but she didn't give up she kept dreaming and working hard towards her dream.
One day Richa asked her mother, "When one day I will earn so much, what should I bring you?"
Her mother replied, "Bring lots of time my dear."
She laughed it away.
At 18 years old Richa started her kurti business from all the savings she had, no clue of what to do how to do but she was determined to be successful. She worked day and night, learnt marketing, started social media...... but no response
she went to her mother crying saying she is trying so hard but not succeeding. That day her mother replied, "Not everything happens so quickly dear, just keep working and never forget to be kind."
she wiped her tears, started working now more than ever, few days later a huge company pitched her. She got order for 100 t shirts for a company.
She went to her mother with a box of her favourite sweet, her mom was happy but she said the same words again, "Beta just spend time with me, that's the best gift."
Slowly and gradually by the age of 21 Richa had established her business she was earning profit, she worked 12 hours a day, had no time for a break, vacation or anything, she had her eyes focused on making more profit.
Her mother call her she was unwell.
She told her mom she would come when she gets some time, she told her to take rest and take medicine and assured her to call her for hospital bills. Her mother said
"No need for all that dear, why don't you just come?"
She said soon
A month passed away Richa still didn't visit her mother, she was in hospital now but she refused to tell Richa as she assumed she would be busy and won't come. All her mother needed was her support, but Richa was too busy.
One day when her mothers health worsened the hospital called Richa, she was shocked and broken, she regretted that she didn't take time off to see her mom, soon she rushed to the hospital but it was too late, her mother had passed away, she just sat there and cried
She said to her mother's corpse, "ma, you always told me to come and spend time I never came, I'm so sorry I was so busy building a life for us that I forgot to be in your life and now I don't know what to do with all my wealth, now that I don't have you."
She cried more in regret.
Like Richa for one or another reason we all get busy in our life and focus on work work work and forget about our loved ones, the whole point of life is spending it with the people you love because at the end of the day the memories are what makes our life special, a study says that after death our brain rewinds all the good memories for 7 minutes and during that time we won't remember how much we earned and worked but the good memories we made along the way with our family, life is unpredictable, we don't know what will happen next so spend your life with your loved ones everyday and tell them you love them.
I hope you like it.
