Like I mentioned, I've changed. I am not the same person I was 13 years ago when I lost my mom, or 11 years ago when I came to Mumbai to live with my grandparents for good, or when I graduated 6 years back, or when I finally got a job after struggling for almost 2 years 5 years ago, or who I was last year. Hell, I'm not even the same person I was last month for that matter. As time passes I've realised so much has changed around me as well as about me. Whether those changes are for the better or worse I'm yet to decide. Unfortunately, the kind of world we live in, it's essentially important to change ourselves to adapt to our environment. You might be a giver, but you can't be doing that to people who simply know how to take everything from you. I heard somewhere that when someone leaves you, they take away a part of you with them. Now think back, how many people have left and how many parts of have we lost to others? How have those experiences changed us? Now think that too, how many of those were worth changing for? Was anyone who left worth changing for? Honestly, I don't think so. Sadly, that's not the case with most of us. We try to change for others hoping that maybe one day we’ll be looked at, the way we look at them, they'll appreciate us the way we appreciate them, they'll respect us, the way we respect them. News Flash: It's not going to happen!!! I tried changing for others, didn't work out so well for me now, did it😂😂? So now, let's try something new shall we? How about changing myself for … me? If asked why? Then I say why not? I'm not happy being who I tried to be, I tried to mould myself as per the desires and expectations others (which, by the way, didn't really work out in my favour,you see). So this time I'm trying changing myself, so that I can be better, kinder, more humble, less depressed, happier, a little more confident, a little more belief in self, a little more self respecting, a little less naive and vulnerable, a little more strength..actually a lot more strength to be able to walk away and let go of things. And maybe, just maybe I'll become better... #solotrip #solotraveler #2amthoughts #voicesinmyheadbelike #wanderlustforever (at Rohtang Pass)
