Can You Pour From An Empty Cup?




The empty cup was full one day. It wasn't empty as it looked today, it wasn't useless at it was today. When it was filled the world thought it was divine but as soon as it dried up the; enchanting, praying and loving the cup was over. Here was the cup sitting all alone thinking "Will I only be loved when I'm filled?'' As weird as it may sound the subconscious of the cup grunted "Don't you know love doesn't come easy. You have to give away something to get love." The cup laughed it off and forgot about it. But, does cup actually forget?


No, it didn't! As it lay in the bed trying to sleep insomnia decided to be the uninvited guest. But, who says insomnia comes alone it came with his best friend or maybe boyfriend the overthinking. As soon as the overthinking entered the room, the cup couldn't help and started hanging out with him. As the night passed by the cup made a decision to fill itself.

The cup set up an alarm and decided to wake up with the first ray of sunlight.


Any guesses what happened the next day? It woke up, it did everything, if I say this it will be a joke. It wasn't able to get up. That meant the day started on the wrong foot. Once the day started on wrong foot, it found fault in everything. The day's stress got the worse of it and here it was hanging out again with overthinking. The already empty cup somehow dried. With the dryness setting in the cup decided to call itself a fool. As it was not able to achieve something as simple as refilling itself.


The days passed on and he was lost. He gave up. Does the story of cup sounds similar? If it does this cup is us human. Binge watching also takes energy away. The problem sometimes lie in us. We as the cup just want to fill ourselves to be validated by the world. In the conquest of validation we forget that its not always about validation. It's always about how you feel. If the cup gave itself some time and let itself rest maybe he wouldn't need days to refill itself. Don't be like the cup be you, your authentic version and the rest will by default fall in place.


Today when problems befall us we look for external reasons. Looking into yourself is a much better idea. Even if you change the external factor and the problem lies inside. Then those external changes will fail. Also, remember its important to give rest to yourself because you can't pour from an empty cup. An empty cup when over exerted dries up not refills itself.
