And when I indulged myself into conversational mode with that girl, I realized her anguish and suffering are not something unusual or unconventional rather that was the story of almost each of us who bear societal pressure in terms of our skin colour, the pimple on our cheek, our height, our weight, the way we sit, talk or even walk, the dress that we wear, the vehicle that we ride, almost on anything and everything, people have a say, it bogs us down, tears us apart, wrenches our soul and leaves us tormented as well as frustrated.

But the big question here is, why it’s so easy to get devastated by other’s version of our beings, why others would decide what kind of life we must live and which personality to adopt to ?? Tagging someone with some kind of a name clearly shows an inability to understand and comprehend other’s situations adequately, it shows a self-limiting thought pattern where thoughts are purely biased and it talks volumes about people’s insecurities who put others to shame through their improper, insulting and taunting words. So why we would give these sort of immature behavior, such kind of inadequate inability to connect to someone, so much importance? Why we can’t let it all go? Why we can’t have a little sense in differentiating what’s good for our mental health and what’s not? At the end of our tete-e-tete, finally, I was happy that I could help that young bright girl in living her life minus any bias and prejudices, any tags and ridicules, any taunts and provokes, any misconducts or maligning verbose.

Believe me, my sensible readers, it’s no rocket science, rather it’s easy as well as effortless to simplify our life and very seamlessly it can be accomplished. Let’s shed the unwanted stuff out of our life, be it people, memories or experiences or anything that sucks the hell out of us. If you don’t like it then your time is not worth it, rather invest your time and energy in something that refines you, empowers you and prepares you to become what you must be. Always remember, anyone who doesn’t care for you or who is not concerned about you would never understand you and if they don’t understand you then how could they appreciate you or love you for that matter and the reality is if they don’t love you they have zero respect for you. Any relationship to bloom and grow further two most vital elements are love and respect and in the absence of these two, the base of any relationship is fragile and superficial. So, the mantra of life is to simplify it but never complexity it.

Let’s discard them who don’t regard us. Let’s dump them who enjoy seeing us fade. Let’s reject anything that drains us off completely. Let’s beautify our life by owning a mastery over it. Let’s grow with identity, individuality, potential and substance. Let’s become empowered to live freely, jubilantly and wholeheartedly. Let’s promise to simplify our life with soulfulness, freshness and awesomeness with good people, novel thoughts, kind gestures, substantial deeds and let’s nurture golden caring hearts.
