I know being a writer is no different. But my journey is different. Its unique to me.
Anxious to get a job, I chose to do what was socially recommended for me. So, I tried. Being a govt. servant. Failed. A Research Scholar. Didn’t make it. A Professor. Guess what?
Don’t go to the gym because it’s a fitness fad.

Experiences: What has happened to me? Have I led a normal life with two parents and two siblings? Yes. Breakups I’ve had. Friends I’ve made. School I have attended. Guides I’ve met. Places I’ve been.

I experimented. A lot. And now I know I don't need more trials of this kind. I’m writing this today at just the right place from the comfort of my home while it rains outside. While a cold breeze rings music to my senses.

I always yearned to go for government jobs because I had a few relatives already into it and doing well with money and security. And here is me, with an arts background, uncertain about what to choose.
Not ignoring emotions because they can be destructive. Not underestimating your aspirations because society calls them second-rate.

If you’ve read this far, let me tell you one more thing.
You can be fearful and still use it to tame your weaknesses and build your emotional strength.
Even if that means disappointing your parents and teachers for some time, but believe you’ll eventually make them feel proud.
Being different is being okay with failure, so you know what the dessert of a win tastes like.
Consider a rat who never came out of the hole fearing for his life. He stayed in the dark for years and died one day, unbeknownst.
Experiments: My life has been a group of experiments that failed to take off until I resorted to writing.

Without experiments, is life worth it.
Agree?
Become different not according to the world, but according to what you like and what you don’t.
So, what actually makes us all different?
Being different is being a weirdo. And being okay about it.
Until the day I choose to listen to myself. I let my subconscious go wherever it wanted me to go. It was not just in dreams I wanted to live, but in real life. Not allowing others to cloud my personality, my ability, my inclination towards philosophy, knack to motivate others, and my indifference towards others’ opinions.

What makes you YOU.
Do anything and everything because you like it. You love it. Do the things that make you go crazy. Things you’d barter your breath for. Things that make your life a rainbow.

Everything has shaped me. Friends who gave me their pens and journals. Best friends I never made. Crush that made me write poems while he didn’t care. Romances I’ve missed. Opportunity to become an editor or a news correspondent I missed. I think all this has made me the writer I am.
Being different is being a mess, yet being okay with it.
To take out these experiments, accept the asymmetry of your emotions, your eccentricities, aspirations and thoughts for what they actually are. Instead of filtering it through the social system, recognize the difference and apply it in your life.

What if he’d come outside?
Long story short, here I am. Being a writer. Doing things I’d always love to do. Sharing my experiences of what I learnt.
Tried everything. A well-paying corporate job, govt. exams. Nothing provided me with security. I didn’t have time to myself. Hustling was my name. Didn’t go to parties, travel or anything. Didn’t talk to friends.
Don’t get a partner because you’re jealous of your friends.

"Life is a journey, not a destination. Enjoy the ride." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Can you make it?
You know how all of this enlightenment came to me.
A govt. job could do it for me. Plus Money, plus security, plus prestige.
I have always wanted to write things. Wrote poetry during my grad and reluctantly left it for preparation of a govt. exam because who’s got extra time for it.
