Finding Yourself !
So this is my first time with the 'great blogging experience' and I am excited to pen down a few thoughts of mine. I am not a great writer or reader but I surely know that I am better with words on paper than in person. So here I go, with one of the most simplest thoughts that I have been bumping into recently : If I know who I am ?
Have you ever wondered who you are exactly ?? Not through the eyes of your parents, spouse, loved ones or enemies but solely yourself ?? Its ironic that we all usually make an image of ourselves on the basis of everyone else's rather than ourselves (it maybe in a very small way or unconsciously but we do) . It is a fact that we think so because we know its better for someone else to look at us and tell us how we look and feel and are as a person rather than we realizing it from 'our' inner self.
Life is short and everyone wants to live it happily (at least the normal lot of us), and so through our busy schedules we take ourselves and our subconscious selves for granted. In this day and age, there is hardly time to fit in ten things in a day as compared to the amount we have on our plates. We loose out on the small moments and things that make us happy as individuals and forget to give ourselves that "Me-time" to find & understand ourselves and what we truly want & deserve.
Recently having shifted to the United Kingdom, I have personally been exposed to a lot of "Free-time" which I have considered to convert into "Me-time". I must say that it is one of the most soulful activities that I have indulged in. With the past six years being packed with a mix of studies and work, there were times when I craved to sit on a bench alone and be with myself. Now, that life has given me that space and time, I am happy to spend it with myself.
It is important to understand that there are small little petty things like listening to a catchy song, scribbling and sketching, staring into thin air, looking at old pictures, watching your favorite show, reading a novel, hugging your soft-toy, having a talk with God, eating your favorite delicacy, taking a walk and other endless things which brings a genuine smile to your face. Even if that smile stayed on for a few minutes and you feel good about yourself, you have earned a life worth living - each day !
It is not always about becoming big, earning loads, and being surrounded with a million set of friends which makes you happy. It is usually the small precious moments that you share with yourself and only which you understand and cherish is when you find yourself truly and actually Happy.
Keep smiling and Always Be Yourself.
