It is in fact a number but I don't mean it in the way in which this famous quote is concerned. Some people don't even ACT their age. The level of immaturity surprises me at times. One thing I had to deal with in the past few months was "drama." And I would say, "unwanted" drama. People will always have something to say about you. It doesn't matter if you are that sexy chic with hair extensions, fluttering false eyelashes and hot bod OR the kid who doesn't talk to anyone, does her own thing and keeps out of the social vortex. You will still be talked about, for one reason or another. And it is absolutely okay. It only becomes a
problem when the line is crossed. When I graduated from high school more than two years ago, I thought the drama was over. But I guess, there still are some people who need lots of growing up to do. I was at the Gurudwara (Sikh Temple) last week. The Granthi (priest) said something that touched my heart. In the middle of the "keertan" (the prayer session), he talked about Karma. He gave us an example: One writes an exam and the teacher corrects your errors and keep a record of your mark sheet. It's the same with God; someone up there is keeping a record of your good and bad doings and he will grant you the pass or fail after life. A lot of people don't believe in this concept, but I do.
If you are certain as an individual and your priorities are set, if you are comfortable in your own skin, then no one has the right to come and question it. Someone dare not do it. No one in the world is going to know you more than yourself. So, why does it matter what people think or say about you? Let's be fair here, everyone has the privacy of thoughts (as they think in their own head, duh) and they have a right to speak as well, so let them. It should not even bother your hair follicle for f*ck's sake.
And most importantly, never let anyone TELL you what to do. You are your own self, no one has the right to make decisions for you. There are a lot of guys out there who would want you to be your puppet etc. Just laugh it off, and move ahead. Because if you're looking for a guy, you don't need another father. Again, these are my own opinions and I hope none of you find it offensive.
Concluding the drama, it will never come to an end. The remedy is ignorance. I am at a stage where it does not even touch the air around me. I have learnt how to make the divide between right and wrong, yes or no, or white and black. It's quite simple. You just have to be determined and confident in yourself. There is always a clear divide between RIGHT or WRONG, YES or NO. You have to be the one to pick a side, and stick to it. There are no "maybes" or "I don't knows" or "Coulda, Woulda, Shouldas." Once you practice this approach in some of your problems, you will find it easier to make your way out of the vortex. I hope that helps some of you that practice weaker judgment or a lot of confusion with decisions.
Cheers :)
