Issues that need to be talked about

Life comes with an unrealistic package of decorous and celebrated stature that every eyeball wants to spot and eulogize. We uphold delusions and live a life constantly craving for reassuring words and taut hugs. It’s not wrong to want something, it is wrong to make it your ultimate goal. There are things happening around and within us; that we see, know and experience but do not address them. Concerns going around are less stressful than the ones happening inside. There could be a wave of gale outside but how it matters and what we do about it holds the highest significance.

Most of us live a decent life where we meet a lot of people, learn a lot of new things, and undergo a momentous sense of experience which can either make us very upbeat or pessimistic. But certain things do need closure and we need to understand that expressing a sentiment is not wrong.

Issues that need to be talked about:

• It’s okay to not be okay

Constantly smiling and showing that everything is glorious might make people envious, but it’s definitely not helping us in any way. It’s okay to know that everything in life doesn’t go according to our plan. It’s okay to feel tired and useless and unwanted. It’s okay to cry our hearts out and feel low. It’s okay to not like things happening around you. We have always been taught to hide our emotions and show the world that we are completely fine. But trust me it is something that each one of us goes through but some of them are excellent deceivers to show us only the glam and glitter parts of them.

Let’s not get carried away with congenial blitz and show once and for all that we are actually not okay. Being real is not common but definitely doable. It’s okay to feel negative emotions, it’s not okay to show false emotions and set unreal expectations of people.

• Changing for others doesn’t do any good

People will come and go from our lives but the thing that remains constant with them is that they will try to change you. Change only if you want and feel the need. Do not change for others or let me put it this way- do not let others change you. Losing one’s identity for the sake of others is the most outrageous thing a person can do to himself; only to realize that people actually do not care. It’s a harsh reality but the sooner we accept it, the better it is.

• Living for yourself

I want to highlight this point, particularly to women. We have been so engrossed in fulfilling our duties as a daughter, wife, mother, and daughter-in-law that we fail to realize that we too have a life of our own, the life of a woman with dreams and aspirations. How often do we do things that we love or make us happy? Responsibilities are one of the elements of life but to disregard our passion and things that make us happy is a huge sacrifice. There is no harm in doing what you love ladies. Live for yourself. It will certainly make you content.

The best thing we can do in this enchanting humanity is ‘Be Original’. It is not very easy, especially in the time that we are existing, but it’s definitely worth it.
