Are we really true to ourselves?

 Are we really true to ourselves? 

Since our childhood we have been taught about ethics and morals and how to be good person but are we really? We just bound ourselves and narrow down our way of thinking. Like, I tell myself everyday not to gossip but at the end of the day I am with my best friend doing what? Gossiping. Such a hypocrite. I believe in body positivity but body shame myself. I am a bad person you might think. But in reality don't we all have a teaspoonful zest of what we call the bad. Since our childhood we have been told stories wherein the hero is the one who is good to everyone, has a perfect life with morals but is it  real!? Are we true to ourselves? 


 Each time we talk about keeping our city clean we end up throwing wrappers because we think it won't make a difference anyways.  Every time we choose clothes which are displayed on by slimmer models without thinking. We all have naked truths just hidden beneath us. There are a few who really are leading a good person's picture perfect life but that doesn't mean the other people who don't fit in are bad. 

Now that I have realized  the things I've got wrong I'm trying each day to change into a better accepting person. I am not promoting being substandard but growing out of our habits, seeing the world in a new way and starting a change each day would make it a better place, no?

Small wins

 Hello everyone!!  This week was Diwali week. And with Diwali as you all know comes the dreadful cleaning. So, I was cleaning my cupboard and after that my mom appreciated me? I mean I thought that it was a very small task which did not need any appreciation but nevertheless I felt really nice after she said that and out of excitement did some more cleaning.  Don't you guys think small wins are so underrated like, they are not given as much importance as they should be given even though they are the ones who help us move forward. For me a small win is capturing a photograph with the right angle of light or climbing up and down the slopes while cycling ( I fear slopes.) Or just successfully creating a pyramid on janmasthmi. In this journey of achieving something bigger, something greater we just forget these moments completely.  Remember the thrill of riding on a roller coaster for the first time? Even that took guts right? Isn't it a achievement? Sure it is. Or just ...

Phases of school

Since my childhood I have always hated school.To the point where I wasn't even interested in going to school. I don't remember a single day when I had not frowned and cribbed about it. I have cried,  I have sobbed, I made some or the other excuse to not go to school. This one time I think in the third grade, I had my final exams and I cried because my eyebrow shape wasn't the way I  wanted it to be. God I was so stupid.  Until one day it just hit me that this school thing is going to end. I knew it on the first day of my tenth grade. I remember being so  happy about it.  But God had other plans for me, OBVIOUSLY. The initial period of 10th grade  was the worst. I knew no one from my class, I had friends from nearby divisions but from my class I barely knew anyone. Also I wasn't active on social media so there was no chance of socialising that way.  I tried my best to fit in, which was a really wrong thing to do. All this while, I was dealing with anxie...
