There is this mould we carry around with us. Let’s say it is an invisible suit. So there are two of us at any given point in time.  One is our own skin in which we are comfortable, relaxed, have our preconceived notions and beliefs, know exactly what we feel and what we want to say. And then there is this mould which changes us, our behaviour, our reactions. This mould is socially appropriate, flexible, adaptable. Where we get confused is when we think that this mould is separate from us when infact it is actually our second half.

No person is pure good or pure evil. We all have both good and evil within us. It is the choices we make that separate us from each other. It is our experiences that help us make these choices. Who we are, who we choose to be is what changes our direction. There is no wrong direction, for you won’t know where the road leads until and unless you take it. Have the courage to do what your heart says, be who you want to be, be someone you want to look up to, be different , be you.

Be different. Be you. Sounds all good right? Do we blindly do we want to? Do we always take a step towards achieving our dreams? Or do we step back?Just when you are about to make a decision, make a choice, there is a voice somewhere that makes a sound, a voice that makes you pause there for a moment, it holds you back for a while and makes you fast forward your decision in your head and think of the consequences. Just when you are thinking of all the possible positive outcomes, there is a rush, a thundering sound and all the colorful pieces turn black and white. These black and white pieces show you how it all goes down, how your one decision, one slip, one wrong choice changed your world completely.

We somehow become shock proof by the time we grow up. We are ready to face the consequences and impact of our choices. But what when the consequences we are about to face, will not be faced by us alone, what when the consequences and the harsh reality will affect the ones we love and care for. Do we still take that step ahead or do we pull back, put all the desires in a box and keep it aside until the storm passes by.

We will never know until we try. We can keep thinking and procrastinating. We think we have enough time. We do not realize there will never be enough time. If you have to make a choice, make it now, if you want to say something, say it now. If you want to take a step back then take a step back and never look back. What is important is that you made a choice, you did something, you said something. We have one life and a lot of decisions to be made. Make sure you make the right ones..

Before it’s too late!
