It takes courage and prudence to accept yourself. It takes greater courage to accept yourself in front of others. It takes squashing-the-jelly-in-your-belly kind of courage to accept yourself online.
Like every one of my plans, I feel fear as I initiate this one. But I just saw 'The Shawshank Redemption'. And it made me think of this:
"Sometimes, we claw at a wall, desperate to escape. We are so busy fighting the wall that we refuse to give ourselves the time or the opportunity to seek another way out.
Its like when a pigeon flaps helplessly at a glass window, so tempted by the sunlight on the outside, panicking, so frustrated at being trapped, so engrossed in negativity that it refuses, is incapable of seeing the open window right next to it.
Take time from your despair, to first accept, ACCEPT! your situation. Take a deep breath, step back and re-evaluate. You will find your window to freedom."
Yes, I thought it all up myself. And yes, I know it sounds good. And no, I'm not being a prat praising myself out of my own mouth, I'm simply trying to explain the purpose of this blog.
Time and again, I have bursts of philosophical thought that sounds amazing. Sometimes I put it up on Facebook. Some of my friends like it.
Most of it is a self motivation dialogue I give myself, pretending I'm talking to God, and trying to presume the answers he'd give me if He were right here. So much so, that this God has become my reality, my companion, my friend. Call me delusional, but I believe these fine thoughts are his gifts to me, to keep me sane, to keep me going. And I believe in Him, as he is in the temples, as well as the way he sits in front of me in the loo, where we mostly talk, persistent through my haze of frustration, self doubt, desperation and misery.
I hope His words, and mine, that I put here, will help you as much as they helped me. And I hope ('Hope is a good thing, and good things never dies - shawshank redemption) that they will set me free.
