Candid Confessions
I have come a long way in how I see myself. The picture that runs down the memory lane digs deep into the dustiest corners of my existence. It has the potential to fill me with jubilation and remorse at the same time. The rueful flashback, you call it.
In life, there have been tons of surprises followed by the realizations that the way I view this life is terribly crazy. Contemptible. I am sure about filling a thousand pages with the stories burning within me, if and when I kick-off! Many can relate well to these stories, I guess. Nobody here is living a life with utmost contentment. Be it one or two or more, problems are always there. There are ups and downs in life but the point lies in being able to look beyond the imperfections. Imagine a life with no worries, anxiety, hatred and jealousy! How perfectly fine would that be! The truth is that it is pure fantasy. There are worries, sorrows, insecurities, pointless dramas, and complicated stories- every time, everywhere. But you do get it over with. The blurred pictures do get you crazy for a while but that phase too comes to an end. There are moments when you feel like the earth’s resting on your shoulders, but with time, there is that feeling of liberation. For every single episode of this life, there are numberless intricacies attached to it. The wisdom lies in not letting them get to your head.
As they say, it’s easier said than done. This center in our heart (or brain!) is so stupid that no matter how well you put forth all the philosophies, everything comes down to zero in practice. Sad but true.
What I've learnt from all of it is that what helps the most here is – Self- Introspection. Self- Analysis. You know yourself better than anyone else. Have plenty of self- talk sessions. Question yourself. Ask whatever you can. Demand answers. Force yourself to be truthful. Speak out the truth- at least to yourself. Put in some courage and try not to deceive yourself! Just tear off the mask. Trust me; you can fill yourself with positive spirit any time. You can be your savior- any darned moment.
These sessions can be helpful indeed. Reason: Why would you lie to yourself? There will be truth all around and you will have to sink deep down in the volley of those straight-from-the-shoulder emotions that you will be left with.
Tail-piece: Once in a while, do try and pick your conscience. Life is better with improvements.
