Not perfect but real

We have already visualized our life based on stories shared by Bollywood/Hollywood. We assume there is only one ending to every story which is a happy ending otherwise it isn’t worth it. We have laid out this thought of ideal love with amazing words that we fail to remember that we as a whole are human, and not a single one of us carry script with us constantly. We fail to remember that Bollywood requires a very long time to think of the perfect discourse at the right second and we hope to anticipate something similar in our lives. ( what a fool we are! )

I’m guilty of assuming that my life would be as perfect & wonderful as these movies, otherwise, it isn’t worth it. However, I’m here to remind you that it will never be perfect. Perfectionism is a myth when it comes to personal lives. We all are trained to learn, to do mistakes, and to grow. In an era of modern dating, we are jumping from one person to another and we have lost the charm of patience to know someone. We have lost the charm in ourselves eventually. We believe that there is one right person for us, but we tend to forget that this right person also comes with a flaw of his/her. We are never going to find our dream partner who will have a score of 10/10. We need to appreciate all the emotions when it comes to any relationship and friendship.

In the era of social media along with the Bollywood industry, we constantly feed our subconscious mind with one perfect idea. We are seeing 100+ reels daily which is decided by Instagram and not even by us, and still, it affects our emotions. We need to come out of the bubble world we live in, which is mostly us and the internet. We need to learn to have the patience to walk without worrying about who is doing what, we need to learn to know our others with patience. We need to learn how to be empathetic and not fast.

We all are living dubious lives these days, one which we showcase on our social media, and the other is we live by ourselves. We need to stop pretending ourselves in front of social media and daily conversation, rather let’s have a conversation that makes your heart feel light and helps you to sleep peacefully. Let’s crave hugs and not for several likes on social media. Let’s learn to forgive others over silly mistakes and allow them to be a part of our lives. Let’s learn to have one cup of chai in the evening while listening to the family conversations, birds whispering, or just watching the wide sky over us.

Life is all about human connection in real life. It’s this connection with another soul which helps us to keep going. This is what we are trying to find on social media as well but to have it actually, step out of your comfy bed and embrace the world with your open arms.
