Hopes,Dreams,Aspirations!

We're all doing something that we are keen about. You know,as you're growing up,people say,"Do what makes you happy.","Take up extra curricular",etc.

As we start becoming young adults,we're treated like horses.
Yes,Horses. We start getting tamed by adults who think they know what's best for you.
I've come across people who are being pressured by parents ,into becoming Doctors,Lawyers,etc.
Yes,it still happens in today's world.
Our country still comprises of parents who tell their children one of these three things:
1. Government Servant.
2. White Coat.
3. Black Coat.

Yes,i do believe that every parent wants a secure future for their child.
But temme one thing, is it worth doing something that you don't put your heart into?

A good friend of mine,wanted to go to a University in London,to pursue Performing Arts.
To be honest,i'd not really come across someone as passionate as him. His zeal,Enthusiasm that was felt towards his passion,was more than inspiring.
But,i suppose no one could stop reality from taking over.
His father refused and he was supposed to pursue a degree in management and join his dad.

Yes, Business is a pretty safe option,but i saw his heart break when his father refused to let him pursue his passion.

I know most of us want to pursue careers that involve our passion! Singing,Dancing,Football,Art,Gymnastics,Tennis,Photography,etc.
But we are usually told to be more practical in life. 
Why? Why do we have to be "Practical".

I mean,aren't singers doing well. Aren't dancers and artists,and Photographers securing their future ?!
Why do parents,especially in a country such as ours,want us to become standard things?

If you're a parent,and you're reading this, LET your child decide what he\she wants to do!
You may watch your child fail,fall,tumble. But at the end of it,your child will learn and grow from this experience!

If you're a child,and you're reading this, TAKE a STAND for what you believe in.
You don't live to impress others. You must learn ,that you live to impress yourself!
Believe that if you fail today,you can try again and succeed tomorrow.

I'm a lucky child to have got the opportunity to dream big and pursue whatever i like. And i'm grateful to my parents for always being supportive of my decisions.

So,take a step today! Make a move towards what you really desire. 
People may shun your ideas and call you a complete nutcase.
But then again,all the people who started from the bottom and reached the top,were wackos at first !
Haha,Peace! 

A Friend Indeed!

"I won't always be around"
This is what my bestfriend told me about two days ago.

I sat down,for about three straight hours and thought about it.
All of us are not emotional. I know people who are thick skinned,people who learn the art of hiding their feelings,killing them; People who face things in life that make them strong enough to avoid emotional drama.
But there are two sides to a coin.
There are people who are highly sensitive,they get emotional very quick;it takes 1 second for them to turn sad.

You can't avoid all this. This is a part of everyone's life.
To be honest, i was a semi emotional person...till i lost my father.
I realized that i could behave however i wanted because i knew,that my father is there to cushion me with happiness. 
I mean,i'd run to him if someone said something and he always knew the right words to say.
Since i know he isn't around,i've become less emotional.
Cuz i honestly don't know who to look up to when i do something wrong,or someone says something to me. Mom is there,true. But you know,dad and i shared a bond.

So the other night,when my best bud said that he wasn't always going to be there for me,i got down to some thinking.
You can't always hold on to a person. No matter how close you are to that person,no matter how many friends say they will stand by you "ALWAYS",no matter how many say "i'm just a call away",At the end of the day,it's only you who's gonna look in that mirror in your room,you who's gonna sleep alone in bed,you who's gonna travel to places alone and it's only you who you have forever.

To be honest,that night when he said it,i was devastated. 
But now that i think about it,i realize that he was there with me ever since i lost my dad.
He was the one i looked up to for guidance.
And probably today,i realized so much because of him.
I'm glad he said that  to me ,cuz not many people speak the truth and not many people have the strength to accept the harsh fact of life.

How many people do you think you'll be in touch with after you graduate?
And if you do,how many will you meet?
Think about it,not many.
So,i know i have a long journey. And that i can look up to him for guidance,but i need to be strong enough,become wise enough to stand my decisions with complete firmness.
Thankyou for the lesson,my friend.
God bless!

Victimization - OVER!

There are days.
Unexpected days,joyful days.
Days when you just wanna smile.
When you wanna stand tall,stay strong.
When you wanna be brave.
And then,there are days,when you wanna give up.
When you wanna rip your heart out.


And somewhere along the line,comes a day when you're scared,alone. You feel like there is nothing and you're falling apart.

We all face these types of days,and we all question lord,"haven't i suffered enough ? Why me? Honestly!"

You reach a point where you're just done with misery.
And to be very honest,i've reached that stage.
I feel that,since July 24th, i've been pushed against a wall.
And ever since,it feels like i'm being pushed more and more,and MORE.

And today,the 12th of oct,i came to this sudden realization.
Holding on to memories is alright,but reliving them over and over again,just makes you divert your concentration from your present.
So I took a deep breath,
Closed my eyes. Thought of my Dad and realized. He wouldn't want me to while away time.
He wouldn't want me to behave like a "VICTIM" in any situation.
Instead he'd want me to Stand tall,and turn even the worst of situations,in my favor.
I pictured myself hugging him for the last time at the airport and i nurtured the last kiss on my forehead.

 I've just reached this stage where i wanna look up to the sky and say,"You know what ?Bring it on. You think i'm worthy enough to face this,i'm just gonna beat you at your own game."

So yeah! Now on,anything that heads my way,i'm gonna face it like a warrior and not stand down and question god "why me?!"

Tough times create tough people. Irrespective of their past!
Face everything,become the stronger,better,powerful version of you! xx
