ME...IS THE WAY TO BE

Has it ever happened to you that no matter how fondly you thought about a person, no matter how much you admired him, he never failed to dampen your spirits?

It has definitely happened to me, and that too way more than just once.

What is to be done then in such a situation? Should we stop admiring not just that one person, but everyone else just due to the fear of getting let down yet another time or should we blame ourselves for always lacking some quality that that particular person demands or should we just showcase a damn care attitude although deep within we know that our heart is in pieces?

There again isn't a single answer to this question. Different people would deal with it in different ways. But one thing that I have learnt the hard way is that changing yourself for others can never be the solution, rather more often than not it tends to turn the other way round. In an attempt to be someone else you might just succeed in impressing them, but gradually you will completely lose yourself, your true identity.

And that most certainly isn't all. Even after consistent, persistent and sustained efforts of trying to make yourself more 'likable' you might just not be accepted by that person. And in any case, no matter what you do , there would always be people who would always have something against you and who will constantly try to bring you down.

Therefore, it's my decision and a promise to myself that henceforth I shall be nothing but myself. I shall wear what I want, listen to the kind of music I like, watch the kind of movies I actually enjoy watching. I shall never go out of the way to impress anyone because if they don't like the me that I truly am, they most certainly don't deserve my company.
