In this constantly changing world is it really necessary to change who we truly are? Do we need to change ourselves and pretend who the world wants us to be?
There is a saying that WE NEED TO CHANGE OURSELVES AS THE THE TIME CHANGES. But what I feel is we need to change our mindsets as the the time changes. I know this seems to be similar like “SOCH BADLIYE DESH BADLEGA” heard thousands of times. But the real part is, are we actually changing our mindsets or just pretending to do so. What I feet is we are just trying to adjust in this era inorder to attain fame, have something that isn't even permanent, loosing our real selves and showing the world something we know we aren't. Lets have an example of social media. We all are a part of this social world where we can connect to anyone, anywhere and at anytime. Many times it has been seen in media how the person tries to change themselves not because thay wanted to but for others. You might be thinking NO, I change because I want to but it isn't true we don't even realize when we actually started pretending. Have you ever seen your old chats and thought how could I talk in this manner, I should have replied something else, ahh I shouldn't have talked to this person and many other thoughts.
Notice in your free time how you used to talk, how you started to talk and in actual how you wanted to reply. Now this is something no one understands as when we read our old chats either we regret or we rejoice. We have many reasons to rejoice on our chats but what can be the reason to regret? Unless it is something relate to breakups, most probably we regret because we tried to pretend in our those writings.
Sometimes hiding scars, sometimes hiding ourselves sometimes hiding the truth. We don't even know who is hiding what. And it isn't necessary too to know each and everything about everyone, but what is important is to tell atleast ourselves that no I am not a kind of person who needs to hide something or needs to pretend it to the world which consists of us.
Lastly what matters is how we developed our mindsets, how we turned out to be knowledgeable, how we instead of pretending stepped out in reality, how we instead of thinking what others might be doing starts thinking what we can do.
REMEMBER: We can't be pretending forever…
Thank you
