I have not written in a while. My insecurities had kept me busy. Pun intended.
We all are a part of the human "race". Keeping up with the pace of this human "race" is a human tendency. I don't agree. Atleast my experiences say so.
All of us have our own weaknesses and insecurities. Yes, we do. Pause reading and ask yourself. You will come up with atleast 2. A few people like me whom I like to call the "strong-hearted" have the vagina to accept those insecurities and flaws. We do that out of strength and courage and not to gain sympathy. (I did not say we have "balls" because I am a woman and I have a vagina and I am not ashamed).
We all have dreams and ambitions. We all want to become great and successful. We all want to earn money. I don't. I simply don't. I left my career for my family. For my new family and I am not given enough credit for prioritizing my family and letting go of my flourishing career. This is the norm of the hypocrite society we live in. I came to peace with this fact after my daughter was born.
I still do not take up opportunities that come my way because of certain duties and responsibilities I have to fulfill towards my family. I see my peers getting promoted to managerial levels and purchasing cars and apartments and traveling to beautiful places for vacation. This definitely fills me with fear and loads of insecurity. We all do fear for ourselves when we see others achieving success. But how many of us actually accept these facts and work on them is the question.
I am not 30 yet. I shall be in a year's time. I weigh 100 kgs. I don't have a job. I don't earn to support my husband. But what I do is I remain content with my life. We all have that one person in our lives who motivates you when you down. I have found that person in myself.
At the end of one's life, what matters the most of how content were you through-out your life. This does not mean that I intend to stay unemployed throughout my life. This also does not mean that I will always prioritize my family's needs and put aside my happiness and dreams. I can no more compromise on my happiness. But I aim to be a happy person whose heart despite the scars of silent wars is filled with love and satisfaction.
The notes in my bank account will remain down here, what shall come along with me up there shall be the memories I made, the laughs i shared, the tears i wiped and the beautiful soul that i was.
Stay Humble. Stay Happy.
