I have come to know so many people in my life. A lot of them are very dear to me. Others might not be dear, but matter. But never have I felt that they are the 'reason' why I do the things I do.
Even if I have done things 'for' people, but they could have been anybody else and I would have done those very things 'for' the 'somebody else'!
I think I've been doing things for the 'relationships' and not for those 'people' who I shared the relationship with.
'People' as such have never been very important to me. They have never made me wake up and live my life because my life is precious. It could have been any other life.
They are who they are. I am who I am. And all of us would have done the same things if someone else had gotten lucky enough to be where the other is.
And then I met someone who derives his strength from who "I" am. My actions and thoughts matter to him.
If his purpose in life was to carry a bowl of oil filled to the brim around the world without letting even a single drop spill, my life feels like that oil in his lamp - Irreplaceable. Precious.
It makes me want to create something "with him" and not "for him".
You know "this is it" when you wake up because someone else will live another day the best possible way.
You know "this is it" when you act because you know it will take someone closer to his goals.
You know "this is it" when you do things because you know someone's purpose in life is getting fulfilled.
You know "this is it" when it you know you can say all this :)

"I think I've been doing things for the 'relationships' and not for those 'people' who I shared the relationship with" without those people there won't be a relationship :) and since each one of us is unique, the relationship we share with everyone is also unique isnt it?
