Knowing Yourself…
I want to know about me..i know it sounds strange ,but this is a harsh reality that we dont know about ourselves.We spend our whole lives struggling to become that person which others want to see us.But we never tried to know how we want to see ourselves.I feel suffocated ,choked.Something inside me struggles to live but im seeing it dying.Why is it so?What makes me happy? Why i want others to like me,appreciate me ,admire me.Why i want to be the best version of their standards.Why i am afraid of my self of my defeciencies.I want to love myself the way i am.I am not best,refined.I want to accept my shortcomings.We judge people.We draw boundaries for them,tag them as good,bad,successful,failure…We should accept the people in a way they are born to be..Not everyone is blessed with every quality.Why we dont like the raw and rough side of human nature..People mask their faces,hide their emotions, strangle their souls.Let them free.Lets draw no boundaries.Let them know what they want and what they are..
