Consequences change ideologies don't

Circumstances change but ideologies remain same. The doll you liked in your teens is nothing than a toy for you know, the book you cherished to read in your youthful days seems to be a trash of literary work. The friends who could never think of parting with you are strangers for you know, the ball dress that you really wanted to buy is nothing but a figment of imagination for you know.

Those Avril Lavigne songs that you used to hear are just meaningless lyrics for you know, you are no longer interested in the bleating of western ideologies, but all through this one thing remained same, that is you! this is the irony of life, you can take out life from your soul, not the soul from your life. A time will come in your life when you find difficult to recognize yourself! Am I the same me who wanted to be rich and famous? Am I the one who wanted to be surrounded by swarms of friends? Am I the one who wanted to have a perfect destination wedding? No! how can my wishlist be so dumb and vague? All these things seem to be so shallow! They seem nothing but the wishes of a 16-year-old fantasy lover! Instead of rich and famous, you just want to be happy, Instead of having hundreds of fake virtual friends, you just need one best friend to stand by your side through your thick and thin, instead of a destination wedding, you need a simple wedding or no wedding at all! so..you see life changes just like that!

It is good to change, only if this redirecting you to something better. If you are successful enough to break the cocoon of unrealistic thoughts that prevent you from achieving something great, then change is something you badly need. I am pained to see that nowadays age is just a number of people, they fail to mature ignoring the consequences. Some people definitely do not want to see you grow so they will push you to the darkest chambers from where it will be hard to return. Make your wishlist so strong that you never want to stop. "Passion", this seven letter word is the key to success. Remember, there is always going to be another mountain, another blockade, another hurdle, but you have to move no matter what. Sometimes change follows overnight without you even realizing it. It is a beautiful feeling when you realize that the change has really changed you to a better person.

I believe that mistakes are a part of life but do not let your mistakes belittle your confidence and faith. Someday everything is going to make a sense, but for now you badly need a mental makeover. You badly need to detoxify your thoughts, you need to nourish your brain with good thoughts. someday every scar is going to make sense. There is a long way to go, there are a lot of things that need your attention, the child crying on the road for food, the paper that needs to be submitted, the colleague who needs your help, the friends waiting for your attention, the parents hoping for your love and care, your sibling waiting for another tiff and the list is on! just calm down and prioritize your thoughts and stay strong!
