#02 Musings: Self-worth

Self-worth.

It is something that everyday normal people battle with and irrevocably the pains and evils of all teenage drama. You're mechanically built to judge a person by their appearance and you analyze it against what is 'socially acceptable.' Against your upbringing and beliefs ingrained to you by family, you form your own set of values and cultivate your image based on your strengths.

Once you don't meet the set standard of 'society norms' you fall back and start battling with your own self-image. Why is it that some people have that 'it' factor that you don't have?

It's such a theatrical element played out over and over again.

#01 Musings - 'Socially Acceptable'

The original title in question was 'Socially Awkward,' but what I wanted to talk about was rather how being 'Socially Acceptable' is weirdly much of a bigger issue to evaluate on. What does being Socially Acceptable means? In normal terms or rather people in general, should coincide with 'Society norms. E.g. As a teenage girl, you should have fallen in love once, get crushed and have loved.  E.g. Strike a conversation, to a human-being easily and have a social life. But no,  I'm none of those. I'm approaching the big coming-of-age and nope, have never 'fallen in love or was/have loved. ' My social circle is limited to my few close but tighter friends and I rarely meet people I have chemistry feel. In general, I think I'm pretty weird and unique in the sense that, I cultivate my own individuality and despise the terms 'conforming.' Conforming is another strong adjective, where we're robots produced by a factory to solve the sam

05 Musings: Phases

I’m at the phase - quarter life crisis. One phase at a time; one experience at a time. I recently fell in love with this phrase “ I’m in the reservation of my mind” Aren’t we all? Our mind reflects our values, our opinions and it dictates our actions. People may influence, they may enforce - at the end of the day we are the true power of ourselves. For the first and second time, I’m finally able to say I enjoy both fiction books that I’ve borrowed and the recent book about creativity really made me appreciate the beauty of words when beautifully inscribed on print. The way it weaves into your imagination, gently painting leaves of an auburn array of tones that cascades down as the words just flow seamlessly down into a serene pool. Details are beautiful when they are detailed for imagination - to put thoughts into words and influence the reader to feel what it’s truly like, is an art itself to appreciate. Time has whizzed past like the epidemic that dawns upo

/Today/

Today is epic. I see the whirl of human err, I hear the voices of disputes, I feel the chock of black smoke. As Aunt Agony Ascends, Words flow, opinions flow. Anger engulfs, capsulate and abolishes, O' young one were you assimilated by assumptions, Entrapped in the bubble you protected yourself with? Anger, frustration, despair led to flight. One whose soul lingered for the other pair to flee. One who snickered and gloom, One who listened and remained impartial. Who was right and what is wrong? It makes no sense, but it tells a story. So flow and wither together with the trillions of moments out there. For the night is young and we have our paths. In stars we seek, in rhymes we find peace. -- 9/4/15
