It's so astonishing how little things demolish the high rising buildings, whereas, on the other hand, they can fill the world with glory and grace.
The same goes with full stops(.)
The thing which we know as just being a punctuation mark since the very beginning of learning grammar sometimes either makes a conversation the happily ever after stuff or a once upon a time dream.
I guess, its importance grew as we grew up.
The dot has seen so much that we are hiding not from the world but from ourselves.
It knows the true us, not the one that's painted across the world. It has seen how sometimes we thrive to make a sentence as polite as possible because, in the end, the mark is the decider of what the receiver is gonna think.
It has seen our desires to conquer everything to our beliefs of destroying everything.
It has seen our triumphs as well as terminations.
Our beliefs as well as betrayal.
Our determination as well as devastation.
Our journey from the enter tab to the backspace tab.
It has seen our growth as well as the phase of growing apart.
It has seen us become what we have become now.
You say mirrors see the real you, yet that dot smirks any corner because it has seen so much that even you have no idea about.
When at times we make promises with full stops, then there is a time when we end with saying it period.
When at times we end a sentence to make a new one, then there is a time when our sentences crave for their screeching halts.
This simple dot is a whole big journey of our life's when and then.
The halt sometimes makes you doubt the entire tone of how the receiver is giving his/her feedback. The questions like do they mean it? Are they tired? Are they compelled?
Because we know we have done that sometimes.
It's a very small thing but can make a personal conversation an interrogation room.
While it takes one full stop to start another sentence then there is a time too where this one full stop becomes an end to a saga, to a world.
End of it all, just like that. Just a bye. Period.
Sometimes when people are enjoying the surroundings loving the company, they skip it they usually skip it to let the other one know for sure there is gonna be a flow of few more words. But when they put the halt, the receiver comes into a state of jeopardy.
I guess I won't be wrong if I say full stops are the most beautiful yet scariest punctuation marks of them all.
They hold the weight of our whole conversation.
They hold the weight of how the receiver is gonna take it.
How it suddenly changes our tone. How it makes the receiver skeptical of our tone.
A sentence irrespective of whatever words or vocabularies used will never hurt until it accompanies by a period or a halt when the receiver is the closest of them all.
You may show your anger through your words in that sentence, but what haunts is that dot that comes with it.
End of it all, no room for a further share of words.
It's not the sentence that hurts it's the halt or the full stop that stings.
