Let us all be!🌈

Posted byReeya MalikPosted inUncategorized

It’s funny, the way we judge others and make opinions about them. It’s a very systematic process that everyone of us follow. We see someone- there’s an image created instantly in our subconscious. And then we make opinions about them.

“Oh! the girl is soft spoken and smiles all the time”- she is sweet and harmless. “Wears glasses, no fashion sense”- that guy is a geek! “Loud, chirpy and bubbly”- she is definitely fun!! “Spikes, leather jacket and shoes”- OMG HE IS SO COOL!!

But can’t the soft spoken girl be cool? And the cool guy you see everyday -who knows the struggles that he might have gone through?

Even I’ve judged people in the past… And I remember buying an expensive dress, (although it broke my heart to spend money on that!) just to be eligible to walk with “them”.

Why do we have to hide our true selves every time we interact with the world? What are we scared of? Losing friends and being lonely? Getting those “not so nice” opinions and mean smiles?

We have been doing it from such a long time that I’m afraid we might have lost our true selves in the process. Our minds are clouded with others opinions so much so that we don’t really remember our own voice.

When was the last time you really said the right thing- unafraid of the backlash? When was the last time you went to a party without applying makeup?

I’m not saying, roam the streets all day in your pyjamas (although it doesn’t sound bad!) But can we, for once understand who we truly are and be that self?

It’s okay if you like to dress up and put makeup- but don’t hide your thoughts. Let’s not be afraid to show our soul to others. For nobody can tear it apart unless we allow them to.

So the next time you see that shy girl with no friends- tell her how amazing you think she is. And you don’t have to say all nice things just for the sake of saying- otherwise again, you are putting on a show.

If you don’t feel like saying anything at all, don’t say. I mean I literally walk the streets like either I am invisible or the rest of the world is!

But then, let’s not judge. Let’s not tag others with names like “pretty face”, “dumb guy”, “cool hunk” or an “ugly potato”. Let’s not be the ones who give mean smiles to those who don’t “fit” in your world.

Because nobody is meant to fit in this crowd. We all have different cultures, upbringing, status and most importantly minds- we have minds of our own.

But in all these differences, there’s one similarity that stands out. The one which really matters- we are not dolls made of wax or clay.

We are all humans, with flesh bones and blood. And we all carry that little heart which can be broken easily.

Let’s not be the monsters of someone’s life. Sure, they don’t matter to us but they do to someone. Let us all learn to be compassionate, kind and thoughtful.

Let us all be our own selves. I’m sure our heart is big enough to accept all the “weirdos” that we come across. And our minds are brave enough to not hide it’s thoughts in the fear of losing someone.. ❤😇

  4. And still “Be Yourself” is the toughest thing to do. It requires simplicity at its best. And being humans, we always have tendency to make things complex.
    Well portrayed thought Riya. Keep up the good work. Already a fan.

  14. Wellsaid Reeya..! We don’t need to change our attitude on what people say, end of the day they too are judging from their perspective .. Rather be yourself and let people accept for what you are than “somebody” whom you are not!!!
