White & Black

Posted on 8 Dec, 2022 in Simpler Life

She was trying to overcome a difficult situation when someone dropped ‘Hi’ in her Inbox. She ignores it until she was down to a couple of drinks. She responds to the chat not knowing what this can lead to. This happens not just when we meet strangers online but in other areas of our lives as well - workplaces, public transport, malls, etc. You feel as if you can talk to the person forever because you both go well together.

They also have struck a chord in an unimaginably beautiful way . Chatting and talking they discovered that they could be perfect for each other in many ways if not all. Their vibe matched like two gears just rolling perfectly in sync, no force required. She was trying to fill a void so this boy acted as a perfect filler for her. And from a simple ‘Hi, how are you?’ things grew multifold, emotions grew multifold. They both started reading and understanding each other’s minds. Then what is stopping them from being together?

She is already committed to another person and so is he , still best part of their discussions was honesty and transparency, they both knew this fact. Two ingredients - When you have no intention of selling yourself and you are talking to a stranger just to say and listen then you see the real you, no manipulations or filters in thoughts, no secrets, no lies and that’s the purest form. It might be difficult to find such connections but when you find it is difficult to resist and stop the flow. You have found another You.

He shared snaps, videos, and posts to express his way of life, outlook, and concept of intimacy. And she could relate to every single one of them. And all of it drew both of them even close. When you realize you are crossing the line, you discuss the things you should not do when you are already with someone, conflict begins that what is right and what is wrong. There are guiding principles, the social norms so that people don’t go crazy. But haven’t you ever felt just stomping these freaking norms and moving on proudly with this person who looks like your world? These questions are to make you aware that it is not an easy story and it has no ending till you want to give it one.

One thing She realized throughout this journey was that you can fall for two persons at the same time, maybe a little less or a little more than the other one but it doesn’t matter , She needed both of them. The same was the case for him.

No one can deny that two minds live in one body, one will always tell you to behave, to listen to society’s rules and respect, and to spend your entire life with one person, let’s call this part White . Then there is another part that understands what you need and has no respect for society’s principles. It agrees with you to give yourself completely to that other person, let’s call this part Black .

To inhibit and to stay sane she was taking commands from White more often but wanted to give in too. When she was drunk she was ready to erase the boundaries created by White and embrace the Black and she loved those moments and longed for them later. His side was no different, like I said they became one. The chats were so pleasurable that they had already imagined a trip, we all know what can happen over a trip.

It was winter and they went to a hilly place. The first such meeting ever. Butterflies in the stomach. He was looking into her eyes, her heart was racing, and she chose to not look into the eyes as it makes her lose control. White was suggesting ways to keep the meeting as usual as possible, just two people meeting each other. A clash had started between White and Black, Black was happy and was expanding itself gracefully as if it knew the ending. White already felt defeated and was just holding somehow. As evening approached the chill also caught up. They decided to stay near the bonfire put up by the Hotel. They held drinks and watched the fire in front of them holding more fire inside them. They talked less and felt each other’s presence more holding hands and their drinks. They stood up for a stroll. She can trade anything for this feeling, walking beside him and holding his hands . They smoked and sat next to the bonfire for some more time before they decided to go to their room. Why on earth they booked two separate rooms, this trip was meant to bring them closer. They smoked followed by a passionate kiss and the night went on. Imagination!

That’s the beauty of imagination, there is no one to police around, no rail guards, and you can create your most beautiful time the way you want. Similarly, they both had imagined this trip in their ways. Ultimately, if you get a chance what would you suggest to these souls? To go on a trip or just keep imagining or stop and accept White.

Leaving for now with that thought. Thanks for the read.
Keep Smiling!!!!
