There will be certain times in our lives when we have to make certain decisions that will defy our logic, look absolutely outrageous, seem detrimental to career goals and sound totally ridiculous to others. With all the hindrances and obstacles, interruptions and complications, it might seem as if the universe is plotting against you from making the decision. The road might seem deadly; the walk might seem too long.
I am standing at one such juncture of my life right now. But in all honesty, the only thing that I am unquestionably sure of is, this is exactly what I want, this is exactly what I had ever wanted. I might fail, I might excel, but I’ll never know if I never try.
Our anxiety does not come from thinking about the future but from wanting to control it.
So time and again, I shall repeat the clichés.
Listen to your instincts, take responsibility for your decisions, prepare for the worst, hope for the best and ignore everything else. Do what you love, love what you do and while at it, never ever forget to spread the sunshine around.
And then one day you will make peace with all the mayhem and chaos that hover around you; the sadness that grips you, the madness that grinds you. You'll make peace with all your monsters that you've been constantly trying and failing and trying to push away. They'll all still be there, right around you. Hopelessness, inconsequentiality, destruction; all these feelings will still co-exist and surround you. But one day, you'll make peace with all of them and come out strong and that is when probably for the first time in your life, sunshine will pierce right into your heart and love will welcome you home.
Success doesn't necessarily mean how much money we earn, heartbreaks can be subdued, there are people to love and to love us back and life is not as serious as we make it look like. We're all stories in the end. Let's make it a hilariously beautiful one! :)
Cheers,
Happy Reading! 😊😊
