Have you ever wondered, what would have happened if there was no such word as ‘why’?

There would have been endless curiosities and questions among people but no solution to it.

However, even in this era there are people around us who hesitates and are often

recognised as – introverts because they never really expose their thoughts. But, what are

their thoughts, actually?

One fine evening in the lasts of autumn, a delightful girl covered with a woollen scarf and

having her hands inside her sweater was walking by the riverside. Her name was Susie

which was not often recognised by her elementary school friends because of her introverted

nature. She always had this hesitation inside of her whenever she even tried talking to

somebody. Though, she made her closest friend throughout this phase which was Susie

herself. She often used to talk to herself and question things by challenging her mind but

after all, an echo of silence as an answer.

Susie that day sat by the hazed grass cliff alongside the river and stared at the beautiful

orange sky endlessly until she saw a hot air balloon passing by. She had a numb brain and

continuous stare on it. She asked herself, “ where do these hot air balloons even go? Or who

even blows them, man! That sounds tiring..” and ignored the thought for a white until she got

distracted by a voice again coming from that giant balloon asking for help and all scared.

Susie mutters and wonders, “I wonder how it feels like to end a scary and challenging task..”.

Susie started connecting things with her life and started questioning herself even more that

something might look challenging but when it ends it satisfies the most, although, she

mid-thought got called by her mom for dinner.

While walking back home, she saw white pores of pollens flying all around her which made

her tremendously happy but she wondered again, “Why do the wind has to be so rude and

destroy a pollen full grass like this!?” She gets frustrated and as she gets back home she

holds herself up and puts the character behind by asking her mom the same, her mother

smiles and replies, “everything happens for good Susie and the wind actually helps the

pollen”. Susie got her doubt clear but what her mother did not realise was Susie had a

flabbergasted impact of her words. Susie did not sleep that night and thought all night long

and connected everything she had experienced with – ‘happened for a reason huh?’.

Next morning, Susie was simply a new person. With a big smile on her face and questions

on her tongue instead of her brain. She figured maybe sometimes it is okay to let your

intrusive thoughts lose and let things go. Her family was happy with the change in her

behaviour and she made tons of friends in that one day only.

So, sometimes it is fine to ask, to put your thoughts before you, let yourself be satisfied and

be relaxed in that fine evening of autumn instead of having a questionnaire within.
