Being 'That' Person

-

Most of the time in life when you come out of your comfort zone, so as to move forward with your life, you are put in a really awkward zone where you desperately try to fit in. When I am put in such a zone, I tend to crack some jokes that are most offensive, to let go of my nervousness. But only after I have cracked the joke I realize that it was pretty much offensive to anyone that heard it. And then I start to become nervous about whether they will judge me because of what I said. Then I start to overthink about it. Then I feel exhausted by all of it, that all of my excitement drains out of me.
This is a cycle that I have been through a lot of times in my life: about what people will think about me. And now, as I have got tired of it I have learnt to let go of it.

I never show any of my writings to anybody as I was scared about what people will think about it. But one thing I realized was that I was so scared about people judging me because I often judged people by their appearance or behaviour. Once I started to let go of it , I have been able to get over this fear of mine, which have prevented me from doing a lot of fun things.

There is a quote in English that says, "Never judge someone until you have walked a mile in his shoes" And I feel that it couldn't be any more true. We all judge any person that do not fit into any of societies social norms and gestures. And it is easy to do so too. But to be that person is something else.

Wounds are hard to make but even harder to heal. The momentary pain that a person experiences while the wound is made, is only a starting point. If you don't attend to that wound, as tiny as it may be, it will get infectious. For physical wounds consulting a doctor, most of the time helps the infection to subside but for wounds created in the heart, it takes more than that to heal. Several times wounds created in our hearts are much deeper than a person could ever endure in their lifetime. Trying to live with that deep pain, in vain, leads to something quite unintended like distance. It starts small and probably can extend until the end of the world. Several times, we tend to ignore it, stating that, as times change priorities also change. We deny ourselves the pleasure of being truthful to ourselves and blame others for creating such distances. What most of us fail to...

musings of the mind

  Sometimes life is just wonderful. With all its hues and phases, life is actually really enjoyable. But it is a sad reality that all of the colours of this world are not equally distributed. Life may be fair to us, at least once in a blue moon. But the world, nope. Sometimes we feel that the world is fair to us, but that is just an illusion,a veil that kind, generous people hide behind as they too have an infamous side that they wouldn't want the others to see. But that veil is just  so beautiful even if it so thin and penetrating. It is actually really good to create such a veil for yourself 'cause what good is it to let all of you, out into this gratitude less, this unsatisfying pit of sins called the world. I love my life regardless of its shortcomings, of the abuses that I honour it with and that is why we should love and trust people too, regardless of the fact that they are hiding behind an unseen veil.
