Okay, so I haven't blogged in a while, but what motivated me today was reading my 19 year-old niece's first blog ever! Not only was I so proud of the baby who I helped raise, but to see the talent which is rising from her, making me glow of happiness and contentment! Thank you Banicia...for encouraging me to blog..blog..blog;)
So, what kept me away..lots of stuff...but primarily my own inner growth....which I have finally learned to acknowledge. Who am I? A question which has been on the backside of my mind, changing gears from the conscious and subconscious sides, just seeking acknowledgment. And acknowledged I have...finally! We all grow at our own pace, in our own ways, sizes, and shapes; yet the inner growth comes only once its acknowledged. I have finally learned to be my own judge, to live for myself, and to not expect anything from anyone (this was the hardest growth factor!). Although the last point is the stumbler at times, I make sure to listen to my subconscious at some time during the day to analyse what all should I not repeat or practice.
Yet, my biggest area of growth comes from expectations. I learned to not expect anything from anyone (especially Family) at quite a late age in life, however we all grow at our own pace and with my growth came this acknowledgement. Lifestyles and people are not what they use to be 25 years ago (Man I'm old!), whether its the size of the family reducing, rise in education and salaries, or just adapting the western world and culture' in all ways is what today's Indian city culture and families are all about. Sad but true...and something which will only be valued once it's gone.
