In a Blink of an Eye...

What makes you feel alive is what keeps you going. If you are reading this now, then think of the time that you were “YOU”, the most of you, the entire you, the happiest you, the ‘you’ you are when you’re you. When was the last time you stepped back to look into the mirror, not to see how you looked, but to see how you are, what you have become? When was the last time you spoke to yourself? When was the last time you sensed a complete silence where the only thing you heard was your heart, beating, to make you realize that you’re alive?

We are running as well as running out of time at the same time. Read that again.

In a world full of categories, none of us clearly know which category do we fit into. We all are looking for paths that someone else followed, we all are looking for answers to questions that have already been answered. We all are looping on trying to become the cinderella who we never are. Yes, the shoes that have been worn.. do not fit us, we are different and of different sizes, different minds, different hearts and a different fairytale. Nevertheless, we have been stepping into the doors that never belonged to our tale.

We are connected to each other through these words — as you read, you sense of me and as I write I sense of you. We both are trying to draw a conclusion out of these unmanaged words and we both are ending up only to realizing that this Internet that we are connected through will again take us back to scrolling and swiping the distressful feeds that not only makes us question ourselves but also grooms our minds to swirl inside the loop of impostering, the loop that deletes our own fairytale and only celebrates the cinderella stories via imitations, and guess who’s the puppet here!

We are losing our stories and feeling the emotions of others. Basically, we are auditioning for the leads of different movies that celebrate the successes that have happened in the past. Only a few among us are juggling on this roller coaster to create their own story. And we, can’t even cry… despite knowing the path we are onto because we are no longer ‘us’ to feel the within.

Everybody is falling down and rising up again and again. Nothing makes you a storyless person except you. Find yourself and start writing it down now. Because, in a blink of an eye everything will come to an end with either “cut” or ‘claps’ because it is upon us to choose — either living what others have lived or just living the ‘you’.

Starting a new trend.. “Are you ‘you’?”
