Somehow I have forgotten what blogging was all about. I had suddenly made it into a bunch of essays I write only when there is something significant to write. Maybe its the sudden rise in number of readers, maybe that made me conscious.
About having to appear perfect. That's what we all end up doing, don't we? When we realize we are being watched, we are being judged, we close ourselves to the world. Close ourselves to the people we know. Struggle not to do it with people who we really wish to know who we really are.
Not really expressing what you actually feel.
Not really loving who you really love.
Not really letting go of stuff you should have a very long time ago.
Not really doing what makes you feel like a Helium balloon.
Now I know. I have always known. But it is always easier said than done.
It's never about what people think of you or talk of you. It's never about the amount of time you spend with people. It is about being who you want to be. Being happy as you feel right. Dancing on the road even if a thousand people are watching you. Singing loud and clear even if you're clearly off key. Don't change yourself for the world. The world was never meant to be there for you. If you start taking up all of the worries that exist, there will be no "You" left to live.
Stop looking around. The ones who want you are there. The ones you want may not always be. But the former will always make up for the latter. Cuz you were there for them. Or so you would hope.
It is ok even if that isn't there. You can always make up for the absence of anyone. I have realized it is difficult to get bored if you really didn't want to. That's saying something when you don't even need money for it.
Be "You". Be yourself. Because in the end, you're the only one you can rely on, forever and for always.

"And she rambles on,
for the world to know,
she tramples on hurt deflated egos,
as she has none of her own."
