Acceptance


Sometimes, one should sit down and face the various facets of oneself. You will at first, not be able to pinpoint very many and will draw a blank. But as you keep at it, you will be surprised at what you can find out about yourself. That is if we can accept each one of them and embrace them as a part of us. Yes, embrace them after acknowledging them. Because shunning them would mean shunning we and we wouldn’t want to do that. If you shun these, you will find a mirror effect in people. They will shun you. That’s the way life works. So, accept yourself and be accepted by others.

Emotions


Whatever we might want to do with our past, we certainly do not want to forget the lovely memories. I am one of those, and not the only one, who wants to discover the whereabouts of my school friends through any means. Although I changed 6 schools due to my father's transferable job, I loved the friends I made in all those schools, the last one being Loreto Convent, Ranchi. Today, I got a call from my batch mate of my final year in school and I am still on a high.
Do I want to change this and "move on” certainly not. I like the fact that we can reconnect with old connections and take off from where we left off all those years ago, difficult to have the same bonds later in life.
But it makes me think that life is to be experienced. Emotions have to be experienced. Of course, all the principles of life and happiness must be observed. But there is joy in experiencing love, bonding, caring and sharing and with these, some not so happy emotions as well. After all, we live in a black and white world where experiencing only the shades of grey in the name of balance might become a tad boring, isn't it?
So, live life to the fullest as long as you are not doing so by causing someone else pain or grief. And go with your heart.
