Your Story Matters
When was the first time you really felt like a grown up (if ever)?
The very first time I stepped out of my home state to study in a different state.
The very fact that my parents allowed me to be away from home for my studies made me feel like a grown up that I can take my own responsibility henceforth and now I realise that I can never really go home and it’s sad and enlightening at the same time.
If you had a million dollars to give away, who would you give it to?
I would likely give it away to the animal rescue teams all around my area and neighbouring areas as well because I feel so sorry for the stray animals I see on the street everyday and that i can’t help them.
Life is so much easier if we stop holding grudges over what people did to us, how they treated us,or made us feel a certain way.
When we start to focus on the good things we possess that could make us feel so good.. the wisdom is actually enlightening.
We are bundles of “possibilities” trapped inside this body eagerly waiting to be freed.
Let go of the burden of the past you have been carrying for quite sometime now ..it’s heavy I know.. you need to rest.
And take it slow, trust me you’ll feel amazing after lifting off this burden of forgiveness some people might need from you.
Do it for yourself and not for them.
I used to struggle with this..for months on i couldn’t sleep knowing i had so much hate for someone in my life and all those episodes of anxiety and depression subsided just recently when I could really forgive her and it was not for her but for me.
So can you forgive someone today?
I promise you’ll heal because I’m healing.
What’s something you would attempt if you were guaranteed not to fail.
I would have attempted the most toughest exam in India!
Can y’all guess what it is?
What was the hardest personal goal you’ve set for yourself?
To get into a medical school was I think my hardest goal and I have never been so grateful to be finally studying into one.
What is your favorite hobby or pastime?
Singing!!
What would you do if you lost all your possessions?
First of I’ll cry like a baby then I think I would work hard to earn them back in some other way…but if it’s the people I loose (long pause) well let’s stick to materialistic possessions only.
Tell us about a time when you felt out of place.
I feel out of place every day..I’m feeling it right now as I’m typing this while sitting in the library.
Since the day I chose this profession i feel out of place .. I feel out of place in my hostel in my college in this place where I live. i feel out of place everywhere. I wonder what great things I’d be doing if it wasn’t this in the first place.
And to be really honest even if this feels like a shit show i still wanted it somewhere.. somewhere in the past.. because then it seemed to be the only way to make them feel proud of me and so far it’s working.
I guess this is what it feels like to live for the ones you love and I’m not complaining nor am I quitting anytime soon.
Your life without a computer: what does it look like?
Amazing
Have you ever had such a moment in your life when you realise that the fault lies within you?
Where you finally know that it was not the people or their actions that pissed you off..
But your own reflection!
And that the only one ruining your life is you.
Your choices made you miserable,
Your decisions made you the you you hate so much,
And now you don’t know how to deal with the truth.
How to do things right.
’cause that’s how you’ve been living your whole life.
And now you’re afraid of the changes
You’re terrified to not be the only you you know
The thought of it run chills down your spine,
But you know that you need to stop.
That you can’t go no more,
And oh!how you wish upon it to be untrue!
But…
Bitter as it is,
You know you can’t hide now.
