An year full of changes! or serendipity would be apt :) I begin with the arrival in the new place-my dream land "France" dreamt of which since 2010. Finally I reach here curious, timid, yet excited and confronting the unexpected surprises.
toulouse at its best |
Covered with the Nature's blessing this city welcomed me well with open arms ^_^
It took me time to actually break that cocoon within and spread thy wings. What exactly One wants ain't an easy deal! succumbed by the monotonous obnoxious life, I was trying to get an answer and had a great toll of unwanted pressure on the head ranging from reports, exams, homesickness( 86%) , long hours classes, responsibilities and yes off-course the daily household chores! ufff Give me a break someone was all I felt. And it's rightly said when its right time, it happens and yes the good thing happened too. I knew what I wanted actually, I got the strength to break the unwanted walls of rules I followed whole life, courage to walk with confidence alone yet never lonely ;) and the power to be fearless to do what I like. The key which lead to this miracle was the realisation that I can't be the GIVER always. Yeah I am a human and I have the right to say NO. No to everything that I slightly or intensely dislike. No to the stereotype society and No to the useless meaningless indulgences which are considered 'COOL'.
do what feels good |
Honestly, initially I thought, doing what everyone does makes you likable. Hell NO.. I don't care if people like or dislike, what my inner space feels is all that matters now. I live in the world being together with myself. That me who never lets me down , who knows what fits my feet and what tickles my soul. I am away from all the boundaries and yet not lost. What else do I be afraid of?
people want knowledge, want money, want beers, but is that really what i want? Never can it be. My real self wants a space of my own. My world which has much more to explore. I can't waste my time doing the so called conventional TAREEQA. I choose to be the one I feel- crazy at times, freaky at another and yet sophisticated when i wanna be :) as long as my space says yes you are no wrong my girl go on. do not hesitate because all the secrets of universe are within you and nowhere else.
To understand it better i tell you what I found. I discovered my potentials only when I was grounded by myself. Yes its only me who can actually stop me and none can. Having known this I was enlightened :D I understood that none but I am responsible to hurt myself, to be at peace or to learn. I began what I really wanted from myself- to be a better me. yes. the latest version of me tries to compete with my own self to become even more content not a GREED, rather an aspirant for the best ME. I do what I think will pave my way to exfoliate the dead edges of my persona and unravel the hidden purity in me. Knowing within helped me discover this secret. Self introspection can do wonders I know now.
Dancing to my heart's tunes, humming the musings hidden within and chanting the music of my soul is what I aspire. Human nature, the silly cries, the unexpected failures shall never bend me any low because it's my decision to fall or make the problem fall. No overconfidence, just a faith in oneself will do the justice. Believe and not let loose because once you are nearing the deepest darkness, dawn awaits to shower its blessings no later...
hope everyone finds their space in this World their own beautiful world :)

ReplyDeleteNo woman should even betide by social or cultural environment. There is no power in men which is greater than womens' and I believe we are equal to them and men are equal to women, because we are all humans. Men can cry (in my society they say "True man never cries"), women can lead, men can do even knitting if they like it and want to do it and women can do woodwork or menly sports! Only thing that keeps us different is our personalities. That is the diversity in itself.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for you and your thoughts are sincere and leads you forward for sure! Altough we never were close and talked, but as I am inspired by Indians (as you saw, I guess) and their way of thinking, I am really glad that you started a blog so me and other people can read about things that most people are not courageous enough to write about.
Best of luck!
hey ! Thanks a ton dear...that's a huge compliment. and am sure this way of expression is the best strength giver to oneself and to others. Hope someday this realization comes to everyone :)
