True identity
Remember, sometimes you can laugh if you want to, sometimes you can cry if you want to, sometimes you can act like a child if you want to, sometimes you can eat what you like, sometimes you can sing like crazy, and also sometimes you can do whatever the hell you want to do... Because you are a human, you have a right to live with your choices, and do what you want to do and that right is God given so no one can take that away from you.
Don't let the world makes you forget that, that you are the person holding the reigns of your life. Don't let anyone make you forget that, no one can decide your life for you, you gotta had to do that, all by yourself, and it's only right to do so.
Don't let your accountability, or responsibility towards a person or organisation be more greater than yourself. Don't live a life, where you are the only one satisfying everyone needs. Because as time will pass you'll eventually lose the essence of yourself, if you only live for others. It doesn't matter if those others were your very own family, your freinds, your business partners or colleagues.
I've seen people like that, people I once knew but now fail to recognise.. the person who was used to joke all the time, now days have forgotten how to smile, the voice of ambition that says the sky is within reach now walk like the sky had fallen upon them.
What is more interesting, is that they say it's only natural, to be this way. After a certain age responsibilities, will weight you down and you won't be the same person, and it's totally fine. It's what's expected of you after 40, your life isn't just about you, it's about your family, your children, your responsibilities.
I've a very personal example, I've written all this because, I felt this is the way my mom lives too.. and it bothered me, that all her concerns starts and ends around her children, and her family. She doesn't care about her at all.. and this not caring rate is dangerous. In a sense, I felt like I'm slowly losing her, slowly losing the person she's.. or it's not me who's losing, she's losing herself.. and it shouldn't be normal or natural not for anyone.
Why people forget to live for themselves after a certain age?and why everyone make it sounds like it's acceptable? yeah, the fact is who cares!!? Who cares if a bunch of senior citizens are unhappy? they usually are.. we should just focus on youngsters, the system & society already declare the death of their will, death of having a say.
Millions of people turn 60, on a day but the rate of the people who actually celebrate their 60th birthday, is incredibly low.. and it's not about if they wanted to do it, or not.. It's about what others will say? Tjat look, he's celebrating his 60th birthday.. What's so good about turning 60? Even old people don't have any Shame these days.
I know it's not a national concern. It's not a burning topic, so it may not interest many people.. but here, I talk about life and I know every living being has a right to live, the way they want to live. I've read an article in the news about this very topic that an elder women wears lipstick and get criticized by her freinds, because apparently she was too old, for that.. Her son who witnessed this happening, posted a revolutionary post on the internet, standing up for people who are forced to suppress their desires, because of the toxic society.
This news may not interest many people, but it was unique and revolutionary, in it's own way. Another day, I heard about an old man in Britain who give out advertisement, to find a freind in his old age.. After his wife died, he felt all alone.. He wanted a person who can just call him once a day, to ask 'How he is doing' it moved my heart that a person feel such way, and we couldn't do anything about it.. Because apparently the people, who even care to look at these kind of stuff are very few.
As long as you are alive, as long as you feel hurt, happiness, desires you are only right to act on them. Now, that's normal it's the human nature, and no one should feel ashamed living like that, giving in to their desires.
