The fear and the expectations

Of all the people on the planet, the person who should matter the most is you yourself. There are always debates, discussions, opinions and arguments about how to live your life, how you should be and how you should live for the people. But i say chuck it! What's the point of living for others and suffocating your wishes when there's no guarantee that the people for whom you have changed aren't going to stay forever!

Everyone wants to be a part of social circle, everybody wants to be liked and loved, everybody wants to be recognized but at what cost? Our social needs have hijacked our minds and like fools we pretend what they expect from us. Its good to bend, but if you bend to much either you'll break or people will break you. We are facing so much peer pressure that we are ready to go to any lengths to be accepted.

A cactus grows in the desert, away, alone and hardly useful but it doesn't crave to be a lotus to be loved and accepted. If it was so, then the balance of the universe might shift. There is so much charade in our life today that natural things or people don't feel important to us. They say be good, be yourself and then they say don't show your anger, don't show your emotion, don't say things on face, if not hypocrisy than what is this? Everybody has three sides: The side they show to the world, the side they show to friends and family and the side they don't want anyone to see. Why do we have to change ourselves from person to person, situation to situation, time to time? The answer will be because then people will stay away from you. You won't be liked. People will not make you a part of their plans. OK!! It's fine! Just because you want people in your life, doesn't mean you keep on making compromises. NO! Let people go, it doesn't matter. If they can go so easily, they weren't meant to stay and those who stay, don't let them go.

People will see what you show them. They won't even try to get under the veil and try to know the person you actually are and meanwhile you will suppress who you are and who you want to be. You become different person in front of some people and when you are in your comfort zone you are free, you laugh heartily, you don't feel any need to be accepted, you can just be whoever you want, say whatever you want without giving a thought to what people will say or think. We are nothing but afraid of being judged. Screw it. You have a lifetime and you will meet many new people who will be part of your life and make it better. Don't ever crib over people. Don't make anyone else the centroid of your world. Give more importance to your family and siblings and you'll discover that they are not bad people after all.

Its good when people look upto you but don't pay heavy cost for it. Be an actor to survive, but be who you are to live. People can live in company of one person also, so don't live for others and their approval. Don't be afraid of being judged, you aren't going to be penalized for it. Axe the toxic and be organic.
