Just Wait and It All Comes to You
So I got one with my exams. With an absence from my blog for about a month and a day or two. It kills me I tell ya! Being able to blog my heart out is one of the things that keeps me awake, literally. So now I am free for about three weeks and am going on this journey I wanted to go on since I graduated but my parents won't let me. And since medicine studies is what they wanted me to pursue, taking pre med is working out for me, but really really slowly. And over this course of spending so much time without the internet and getting time to reflect on who I am and what I should be doing, I realized some important things.
1. I am a writer. And no matter how much I try to be anything else, I will end up where I started; That little kid who would buy lots of fancy looking notebooks and scribble into them and carry them around everywhere. I did try my hand and at photography and I discovered I'm really good at it. But with every picture I took, I had a story in my mind, a story which reflected how I thought. Also, since everyone who owns a DSLR nowadays is a photographer and almost everyone has a photography page, I wondered where my strengths lied. I am not a social activist nor can I join the youth parliament or youth national assembly. I think creatively and I don't think about social revolutions or changes or being the driving force behind something big. I am happy in my own bubble as I am and being myself. Yes, I will take photographs, and no, I will not stop doing that. But I don't wanna be known as a photographer or a social activist, even if i do all that stuff. I want to be known as a writer. And that is who I am.
2. Dreams take time to come true. If you have a dream, you have to struggle hard for it to come true and wait. For it will take time. One night wonders rarely happen and even if they do, will you ever be able to satisfy the lust of getting where you are through hard work? Yes, luck is required and it plays a huge role in your life. But so does hard work. Might I mention that everyone has their own definition and requirements for working hard. So a person who seems to be working hard at his own level, might not be working hard for the other. But we are the only true judges of who and how we are. I wanted to work at a place called Kuch Khaas (Something Special) for a very very long time. Maybe even two years,but then came my parents not allowing me to pursue a career in arts and I took to what they said. So I continued working on my writing and didn't pay any attention to studies for a long time and I suffered a lot of depression and I couldn't focus on either studies or my dreams. It damaged not only my grades but also the atmosphere of the house. And suddenly exams were on my head and I had no outlet of my emotions. So instead of pouring them out on paper or on the blog, I turned to strategizing everything in my mind. I thought and thought and waited and waited and figured out a lot of stuff, like mentioned before. So I figured I'd do this. I'll just study and write and work for all those places i'm an editor at. That is all. though occasional covering the events for my blog would be good, but I'll do it only if studies give time. Anyways, Speaking of dreams, right now I am sitting in Kuch Khaas right now working on a writing internship. I am writing. I am at Kuch Khaas. It just takes time. So they key is to be patient and not give up.
3. Listen to your parents. They are mostly right. Not always, but yeah, you should listen to them. They know better. Or you can do this. Listen to them, be good at what they want you to do and then after showing them that you will do what they as, tell them you also want to do what you want to do. And believe me, if you listen to them and be the first one to compromise, the world will work in your favor! So eventually you'll end up doing what you want and it would be worth the wait.
4. Compromise. If you want to get to what you want to be while doing what your parents want you to, I will suggest letting go of a lot of stuff. And number on on that list has to be Facebook. It wastes a lot of time, so please stay off of it. A simple notification can turn into this huge time consuming monster that will leave you less time to follow your dream. Lessen you TV time and staying away from Gossip Girl and Vampire Diaries won't harm you at all. Believe me. I lived weeks away from all those fall show premieres and all it did me was give me more time to study and work on my writing. So yeah, learn to compromise with all your hobbies and let go of all the stuff that wastes your time. You know better what that is.
So wish me luck on this journey I am about to take and I wish you, the reader, luck on whoever you want to be and whatever you want to do. May "you" be with you!
