Turn Inwards...

You see a woman walk past in tiger print leggings and a mismatched striped tunic top and you think "Ugh! Faux Pas alert!" and exchange glances with your friends and snigger. Then next minute you feel contrite and berate yourself for being so judgmental and shallow.

If you have been in one such situation, you fall under those category of people who are genuinely flummoxed when they analyze their personality. Who are you really? This question haunts you. You are neither good nor bad. But then again - what is "good" and "bad" but a reflection of what is acceptable by different people, cultures and societies. It is a variable not worthy of consideration. So reality is the standard you set for yourself based on humanity and the morals and ethics that are laid down as universal laws. 

Pull on the strings of your soul, bring it up and outwards and look at it. Take a good clear look at it from various angles. Who are you, each part, even if it is just a fetus in development - look at it. What do you see within you?

Do some soul searching. Who are you when things boil down? If you listen to your heart, it will tell you what you need to know. If you are conflicted go by the truest emotion you feel and not by what the society thinks is right. Just to be accepted into the whole system sometimes people mold themselves into different adulterated versions of themselves and somewhere along the way forget their true form.


You are unique - good bad or whatever. See who you are. Dare to look inside even if it scares you. You are who you are. Just. Turn. Inwards. Take a good long look at yourself. If you don't like what you see, try to change - but this time with your eyes wide open, your heart willing and your soul trusting.
