Finding Myself Again—One Dream at a Time

Sitting on my couch and stirring at my screen it came to my attention that there was a period in my life time when I thought of the past few years of my life and I thought that everything had been sorted out. There was a roadmap in my head of all the things I needed to accomplish and dreams I had jotted down during my childhood, but as life has it just somewhere along this journey of life, there was an unexpected detour. This detour might have been as a result of a personal decision I made for myself or just maybe 'suggestions' from close people around that ended up becoming an obligation for me. But reminiscing on the past, I came to a conclusion that I was trying to make the people around me happy without asking myself the the actual question, "Am I happy. Am I proud of me?"

Reminiscing about my past and looking at my current situation in life, I can boldly say that I have achieved a few of my goals—yes. And there are still some that are yet to be achieved but with time, it is just a step by step thing. One thing at a time. Even though in the chaos of surviving, some has faded away by some are locked away due to fear of not being enough and maybe fear of failing. But in recent time, I have been learning that in the journey of life, fear is one of the major prices alongside courage.

In my opinion and with the societal standard, a lot of people's mind have been conditioned in such a way that they can not reach their goals in life. Should I say a large fraction of the current society have been brainwashed and that is why goals are not attainable by them. Where I come from, you will see a young bright lady or boy with a dream of becoming someone great in the future but in just few years, they tend to have this unfulfilled and unrealistic life. But in the real sense of it, these people are not to be blamed but the harsh economic situation and poor upbringing and unsupportive people around. Most people are on the survival mode but anyway, I believe we owe it to ourselves to always give it a try.

To all my followers reading this or anyone who comes across this post and you are stuck between "what could be" and ''what is," in this journey of life, I am with you, it might not be physical but with the help of this post, we can do it one step at a time. If only we can set ourselves free from expectations, regrets, and fear. We can choose our own paths again.

What’s my plan? To do bolder dreaming, to do messy action, and to stop waiting for the ‘perfect time’. Because maybe, just maybe, the perfect time is now.

If there’s anything that I’ve learned, it’s that the journey will always be nonsensical. But it is your story that matters- your story - can and will light the way to someone else. For now, keep moving, either you are crawling. Keep hoping, either you are taking it step by step. Keep writing, either it on a script.

Because it’s your life. And you need to make it count.
The story needs to be worth telling when the time comes.
