Whenever I meet someone new or a stranger perhaps , the usual conversation starts with how have I been doing, what do I do, where do I work and all those small talks I'd rather not bore you with it folks. Well after we both are done lying about how we really are (not okay!) I am forced to tell the truth that I watch TV series most of time when I'm not reading or just sitting quietly thinking nothing at all. Absorbing the beautiful rainy weather this monsoon. I can't fake my life you see. Recently I have been enlightened about my own truth about my nature or my life per se. I am no longer dependent on somebody else for my happiness. This is what I have been reading from all those great philosophers all this time! I literally don't feel the need to call or text anyone or reply for that matter. No person should be forced to do anything he/she doesn't want to do. Be it being social, staying alone enjoying some good reads or focusing on the path they want to take on next. I think in this glorious social media era we are living in now a days has more loners and forlorn people than ever before seen in the history. Why do we feel the need to show what we are not? To impress whom?!
Whatever life I have lived till now, it is quiet clear to me whatever we try to show off on social sites, the happy pictures, not so real thoughts, that is so not what are meant to do. I am often being told by friends that they have stopped using such sites because they would rather not see anything than checking out everybody's wedding pictures, baby showers, brand show offs! This is what happens when you are reaching your 30's . 'The Transition Phase' as some call it, from 27 years onward you start to realize the life we have had imagined to live isn't exactly turning out the way we had planned. The fairy tale love you grew up watching in the movies, believing that it would happen to you too. You would be a millionaire doing things you are passionate about and live happily ever after with the love of your life! Isn't it wonderful to read! No wonder movies are still earning crores with the same story. Anyhow in reality 'love' will happen to you many a times. You will be heartbroken more times you can count. You will have to start earning even if the work you ought to do isn't what you want to do for rest of your life. You will have to compromise every step of the way.
It is cruel almost I know! It is only after you have gone through this some of us will have the courage to break the cycle of this by default charade and go on taking risks and creating the path of their own. NO, it doesn't happen overnight. It won't. Few are the lucky ones I agree. But you have to have the courage to break the monotony.
I am still searching my own path , I can only hope and wish you do that too.
