Be You, bravely.

It is funny how sometimes we end up wondering how we ended where we are now. There are days when you sit back sometimes with no clue of surroundings at all and get caught up in casting your memories.

 

You might go on thinking about the kind of person you became.

You might try to recollect the good things that happened to you so far.

You might rethink whether you are at the same place where you imagined or not.

You might see the faces you have not seen in a long time because you could never forget them.

You might run the quotes in your mind you have been following.

You might ask yourself why you haven’t been to places where you laughed the most.

You might try to locate some books you forgot to find which you have always wanted to read.

You might paint the moments in your head that you could never capture.

You might think of things that could have happened where you failed to deliver your best.

 

There is so much we can think; still, we tend to do so little.

 

I would say that in this activity, one might get amazed to see how all the beginnings come to an end eventually. Although it may make you process your memories again to figure out if the endings turned in your favor or not.

 

Now it is true that you may not be the right person to judge because humans always mess up to see things that benefit them somehow.

 

It is like you would not want to see your favorite pair of shoes on someone else’s feet.

 

You try to keep your life limited to yourself. The way you are not able to afford to buy everything you wish for, it is not necessary to have everything favorable to you in your life too.

 

Believe it or not, it is okay not to have it all. Maybe it isn’t worth having all.

 

Because if it was,

The richer would never dream of becoming the richest and yet fail to be happy or satisfied.

  

We naturally end up demanding more at every stage of life.

 

Sometimes, there are small things that turn up to be a meaningful part of our life. Imagine if we could try to keep people similarly. But it might not always be a fairytale ending. It is not incumbent to always have one.

 

After all, what’s the use of a long drive with no rough roads to cover along…?

 

I know it might not be easy for all to be of the same thinking.

Not everyone can sustain their desires without any demand for fulfilling them. It is equally beneficial for all to regulate our emotions so that they do not overtake one’s primer talents out of focus.

Everyone has a weak spot where they lose themselves completely. It doesn’t matter how hard they try; things always get out of control if pinched at the same point.

We may not be able to realize until we go through it again and again. It happens because we try to be someone else in front of the world that is loved and admired. In all of this perfectness, we indulge ourselves so much that our self-worth is lost. And this is where our end of the bargain goes out of the question. To turn this section into your favor, you must not let yourself flatter by the outer beauty of the world and forget your true self.

It is not possibly easy for everyone to do so. 

Maybe this is why traveling helps a lot of people. For some, travelers are not the example of perfect human beings. We find them as people who live for themselves and categorize them as selfish too. I see them as loners of the world who know the significance of each moment. 

We can learn from their feelings by how astonished they get to see the beauty of the world that is not only linked to formalities. 

We can learn how to find light in the darkness around us.

Imagine how much happiness you can share with all you get to meet on the road from one place to another. 

We are unaware of all the cherishable moments because we lock up ourselves in one zone of the globe. I am not saying that people should always be traveling. It does not mean visiting every city or to have big adventures to flaunt. It is like hitting your affordable wardrobes where you can be yourself. 

The key to wherever you go, whomever you visit, is that you must not be someone else. 

Otherwise, it all will be like another boring chapter where you fell asleep. Try not to convert it into that.

Because

In the end, it will not count how you ended up. 

Because

In the end, you should know you were you all the way along. 

Because

In the end, you should not think of changing a single segment of your story.

(P.S. - Do not allow yourself to be the reflection of a shadow other than yours.)
