The Unworthy Promise To Self

Here comes 2017, the year filled with lots of hope, happiness, an endless wait to find someone you can be passionate for and in the way finding yourself.

Readers, resolutions, you are very well aware of this word. A word, that represents a promise to self to do things the right way. But wait for a second, for how long we are able to follow those promises that we make to ourselves. And do you really think there is any such thing needed that we need to bind ourselves with to follow a better life.

With all my good and bad experience in life, I have learned until and unless a person doesn’t feel passionate about a cause or a feeling, no one can force them to.

There she was standing by the window,

Waiting for the rain to stop

Her fear of getting wet

Getting judged by strangers

Never let her truly enjoy the feeling of being free.

All we need is to make a promise to self to live truly and freely with compassion. Making resolutions and binding ourselves with chains, has it not been enough to bind ourselves with fear of being judged that we again chain ourselves with resolutions.

If you feel strongly about something, why to wait for a single day in a year to make temporary traditions that are eventually going to be on the top of our guilt list. Let’s do it today and tell the world we were here.

Nothing has changed in these years to follow

The same strangers walking by the door

Still the rain was calling her as the old times

She draped her silk sari around her waist

Spread her arms open

And stepped out….

Let’s live freely and give back abundant love and care such that we do not need resolutions to feel passionate about something. Cause if you love yourself you can truly nurture your loved ones with care and unconditional support.
