Be Yourself :)

Finally, I have the time to write my story! Here it goes... I was a happy-go-lucky kid. Quite fun type. I enjoyed dancing and singing. I loved entertaining the crowd when we had house parties. But as I grew, I became more quiet, preferred to stay in my own comfort zone with few of my selected loved ones. I gradually stopped being myself. Until now, I can't figure out why I stopped being myself. Was it because of depression? Or was I worried about what others were talking about me? People always say that kids are naive, and pure. Well, I think it is because they are being themselves. They do what they like without hurting anyone else. But as we grow up, we start being someone else to please others. We start faking everything, from a smile to the way we live. I always pleased others without thinking because I never wanted to hurt them. I do get annoyed and frustrated. At the same time, I can't go on without helping them. Sometimes, it's not worth-it, but yet we do it. The more I stopped being myself, the more I felt empty, anxious, lost and depressed. I often felt that I was good for nothing, and there was no point of living this life. It definitely took me years to realize that I have a beautiful life, and I should start being myself in order to live my life. Now, slowly I do whatever I like, I try to smile a lot. I talk to strangers, smile at them, spend more time understanding myself. Whenever I accomplish something, I give myself a small treat. It is to show that I love being myself and I respect that. I won't say that I don't get anxious or depressed at all. I still do. Whenever I fall into that dark hole, I will remind myself to fight back and find a way to get out of it. It is not easy, but if you love yourself, then you have to do it. Until now, I'm a Disney kid. Never stopped being one. And, that's me. There are people who label me as a 'grown kid'. I used to be sad. But not anymore. I just feel sad for them as they are not being themselves. Remember, don't lose yourself for others. It is good to change, but never forget to be yourself. Being yourself will boost your self-esteem, and strength. Be yourself, and you will know how beautiful you can be :)

Have a lovely night! And a great week readers :D

The 'Naina Talwar' in me :)

It was a busy week & finally, I have some time to write! Have you guys ever wondered 'Hey, his or her character is like mine' while watching a movie? I do, but then I will ignore it as it is just a fictional character. But last week, after watching 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Dewaani' again, I saw some similar characteristics of mine in Naina Talwar's character. Yes, I'm an introvert like her. Only those who are close to me would know my fun side. When I'm alone or surrounded by new people, I'm a total introvert. Being a Mass Comm student, being an introvert isn't a very good thing! Luckily, I'm not the extreme introvert type. She also values her family and the few close friends she has. I don't have much friends as well. I have few but amazing ones :) And, family is my first love. She has great value for love and relationship. I'm an old-school girl when it comes to love. I value love a lot. She loves traveling and she is a very simple girl. In many ways, I'm a simple girl. Never an adventurous girl. It is because I'm afraid of speed, and height! But early this year, I hiked the 'Hanging Rock', and reached its peak. It was one of my biggest achievements :) Roaming around beautiful streets, and discovering new places has always been in me. I was able to see her character in a more personal manner because I started discovering my personality. Before this, I never really understood myself, and my personality. After seeing her character, I realized being an introvert isn't that bad at all. All you have to do is balance it, and don't forget to have fun! I'm sure every person would be able to feel a fictional character like how I did after so long. Even though they are fictional, sometimes they tend to deliver a specific message that only we would understand. So, do not ignore that message. Do discover yourself, your passion, your interests, your flaws, and you will start seeing things more clearly. I would always embrace the 'Naina Talwar' in me :)

Have a lovely evening readers :) And, get pumped up for another wonderful week!
