Life Pondering...


 








Many times I ponder when I am alone


Thinking about my life and daily routine

Work, house chores and people around me


I was an idealist , trying to see the good in everyone 

And positive in daily circumstances of life…


Many times because of my idealistic behaviour

I have suffered… been in pain…

Let people take advantage of me…


Now I am at a stage in life …

Where I have turned into a realist..

I see things and people for who they are…

It is good to be aware of situations and people..


But I still suffer and I am in pain from time to time..

When I realise how polluted situations and people can be…

I am angry and upset… 


Trying to deal with all this… We get polluted in the process too…


And then start to wonder why it needs to be like this?


I do not want to do any name calling…

Put anyone down.. yell.. get upset…

But I do all this from time to time… 


Aren’t we all responsible to see the good and do the good? 

Pull each other up when someone is upset and don’t know how to deal with situations/emotions?


Maintaining a good heart and mind has never been so important…

And deal wisely with people who are polluted without getting dirty yourself..

Stand up.. raise your voice…

But be respectful… be compassionate… be kind… (to yourself and others!)

Go back in time!











Today I was having my tea ,breakfast & watching news.
Accidentally switched on tv channel &  ended up watching a random high school girls tv show (loved it!!).
 
We want to grow up and do so many things in life.
We forget to slow down often.
Just celebrated my 38th Birthday this month (phew! That is a big number)
10 years of married life, 9 years as a mother & 16 years in corporate world!
Need to deal with life without my parents already (tough!)
Life happens so fast…
Never ending everyday responsibilities, chores, routine and work.
Often I have forgotten I am still that high school girl at heart…
who use to dream, have fun and be carefree…
Don’t know when I became so practical, realistic and mundane…
 
Today I just wish to be that high school girl again…
Enjoy with my friends on the street playing made up games!
Go back home to my mum and dad.
Play & fight with my brother and sister.
Ask mum to cook something special!
Get pampered by dad.
And just go to bed dreaming without being tied to anything.
 
Is it too much to ask?
