WHEN WE AGE..

Why one should take everything seriously when they age? Why do we always let people define our present based on our past when we are trying for a better future and the same people will say to our face that let the past be past. If we observe ourselves sometimes our favorite music doesn’t make our feet tap and sometimes, we no longer read self-help books and sometimes other’s happiness doesn’t make us happy.

I have thought about where it went wrong. I realized it never went right. Again I thought who kept this mark right or wrong? Whether society or the relatives or environment or our parents? The answer is we! So whenever you are thinking that never went right you will give a thought you are good enough and will just go with the flow but just question yourself what do we consider right or wrong or even good enough when we age???

When we age everyone says that be happy for little things but I say that be like a child. Handling the cycle without keeping hands gave you immense happiness and also we didn’t have fear of falling down. Others’ judgement had no impact on learning new things and we dared to accept that we should fall to learn. Cooking your favorite food for your family members with your fake cooking stuff gave you good memories. Making boats with paper gave you the satisfaction that you could do anything. Winning in a small puzzle game made you a genius. These are the little things that made you happy because you were not searching for happiness in little things but you were exploring your thoughts.

Maybe we should just explore our thoughts…

My writings are not a collection of total happiness or sadness. Rather, they are my thoughts of feeling insecure about my past mistakes and hoping for a better future. They are about my friends, family and mainly about me.
