Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls
Welcome to yet another blog by me.
Feels so silly that 2 years ago, I was a shy girl, lacking confidence, very timid, hesitant, scared to share my feelings even on informal media like facebook, dreading even holding an opinion of myself just because of the fear of opposition or what they call "What will people say" fear.
Not sure whether I was born with it, or it was cultivated overtime or I just thought I had it but it was there.
And believe me or not, its is a terrible feeling to have. You think that you and too short of qualities, it could be beauty or intelligence or wit or money anything but it was really not good.
The changing point in my life came when I got married to the best person in this world. This was possibly the best decision I had taken so far. But that didn't make me confident either. I always used to think that my husband is far too better for me and I don't deserve him etc etc. Then I came to the UK 2 years back and my life changed upside down. I will go through the incidents in detail in my later posts but the main reason was.. I found time for myself, I figured out what I like doing and what not. which things hold more importance in my life and which were a mirage.
That's the main reason I am able to express my feelings in a blog now. I found out that I actually like writing which is a complete surprise to a personality I had earlier, not that I didn't possess the quality but just because I was too scared to bring it out.
I discovered that I love cooking, I have interest in different worldly cuisines and have tried and succeeded in cooking great recipes and having a blog about it travelaroundandcookalong.blogspot.co.uk
I discovered travel, how enriching experience it is to visit an unknown country, getting lost at a strange place, finding an amazing cafe at the end of the road.
I discovered I love cultures and languages and I loved to learn different languages and conversing with different people in their language and the smile to their faces when they see your effort behind it.
All of this didn't happen overnight, the most important thing in all of the above is "You". Discover yourself, do what you think is right! Wear clothes which you think look good on you and not what your boyfriend/girlfriend or anybody else says. Get a haircut of the celebrity you want to look like. What if anything goes wrong, at-least you did it your way. Don't let the voices around you hold you back from expressing what you feel. If you are too shy to speak in public, take the route of social media but get it out there. Not everyone has to agree to what you feel but when you get it out there you will find people like you.
Don't be hesitant in taking a step, whether it be the choice of your career or choice of your life partner. Things go wrong all the time and that's how they make you a better person.
Be self independent, you cannot achieve any of the above until and unless you are self independent because as long you are dependent on someone, you can't have things your way. Don't be shy of any job you do, the most important thing is that you can survive on your own.
Groom yourself! Yes look nice and tidy, wear good clothes, cut your nails, wear a perfume and make eye contact when you talk to people.
Most importantly! Love yourself, the way you are. God has made you in a unique way, if you think you are not good, you might not have discovered yourself until now. You are still to discover the potential.
These are my first few thoughts of the funny feeling blog. Hope I have plenty of funny feelings and I am able to share with you overtime :)
Keep reading! Ciao
