Being Myself

as it turns out ... being myself is not as easy as it used to be a decade back. in my head I believe that I am strong willed and cannot be pushed around ... but if I am truly being honest with myself (and you) then I have to accept that I have become quite a softball over the years. I often don't say-it-like-it-is in the real life. not because I am scared of anyone, but because of my pursuit for no-drama in life. I thought that the less I lock horns with people the more my chances of getting through life unscarred!

I thought silence is golden. which it is. at most times. but if you stay quiet ... or do not take a stand on anything for a long time then you practically become invisible in your own life. And who wants that?

when you put your own happiness before others people start having problems with you. so I have to find a balance. I have to learn the right 'tone' of addressing my concerns and expressing my opinions without creating drama for myself. which is hard.

The biggest struggle of "being myself" is to be okay with that uncomfortable feeling that you might be pissing someone off! #weekendwisdom
