Today, I ask my self whether it really matters. Does it matter what others think of you? They will judge you anyway, no matter what you do. Is it really worth sacrificing your dreams for what others think? Does it really matter that you will be subject to scrutiny for every decision you make? No matter how small. Is it really worth letting those thoughts slip away simply because you didn't have the courage to listen to your heart?
Most of the things may not be making sense to anyone reading this. But today, as I was archiving all those old Orkut memories before it gets wiped off got me thinking. What that has to do with this post, I have no idea. Probably due to the fact that it has taken me back through time when I was a lost soul in my teens, leaving me nostalgic in the process. I have come a long way. And today, I'm simply glad that I listened to my heart.
I guess, it would be better to end up with even not-so-fond memories rather than crushed dreams. Go ahead and follow them. Don't let the guilty voice in your head dampen your spirits. May all your dreams come true, at least the worthwhile ones!

Thats a very thought stirring post aathira :)
ReplyDeleteIts true no matter wht we do, ppl will always judge us anyways
Thank you, Juhi :) It's very hard to satisfy all the people in your life!
DeleteFollow your dreams. People will always have an opinion no matter what you do.
ReplyDeleteLily
Thank You, Lily! My dreams keep me going.
DeleteIt does not matter at all. No matter how high you reach, people will still try to pelt stones. Ignore them and move on.
ReplyDeleteFollow your dreams and strive to achieve it. Even if no body stands by your side, you will not be alone. You have your dreams with you :)
And that will keep you going.
Thanks Soumya! Yes, with dreams by my side, I wouldn't have to worry too much :)
DeleteIt surely doesn't matter! Coz even if we stop living our dreams, we will be rediculed! so there is no point in trying to escape from it and sacrificing our dreams

Exactly my point, Swathi. You might as well be content that you cared to listen to those dreams :)
DeletePlease remember..you only throw stones at the mango trees which have mangoes and its refreshing to know that when you get hit and also remember the classic statement of the 5'2 genius by the name of Sachin who said the stones people threw at him was used as milestones enjoy being hit unni uncle
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading, Uncle :) Failures are indeed, the stepping stones to success!
Delete:)
ReplyDeleteit does not matter as long as you know you are learning and growing as a person.
Thank you, Chintan! If only everyone followed their dreams, it would be a much happier place to live in!
DeleteIt doesn't matter. Even if you listen to someone's idea of who you should be, they'd still try to push their other ideas on to u. And ridicule you when you are down. So best to be yourself and ignore the ridicule and judging,
ReplyDeleteSo true, Leo. Thank you!
DeleteBeing yourself is the best you can do for yourself. As they say listen to what everybody has to tell you and then do what you were going to do anyway ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I have turned a deaf ear towards all those unnecessary voices now :)
DeleteIt is always the best to be what you are. People will any comment. Ignore this and move forward
ReplyDeleteThat's true, Ma'am. What matters is how true you can be to yourself.
DeleteIt's so true Aathira! We may or may not succeed but we can always say that we tried to make our dreams into reality rather than just letting them be just dreams!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Reema :) Trying is what is important. Whether you succeed or not is secondary!
Deleteit's always best to stay true to your heart, then the rest will eventually fall into place :)
ReplyDeleteI hope so, D. Thank you!
Delete"People are stupid"
ReplyDeleteJust keep repeating this :P
People are stupid.. People are stupid...
DeleteIt works! Thank you, Rupasi :)
I keep thinking about 'what others would think'... perhaps I have been brought up like that. Frankly, I hate it!! I'm so glad I have a husband who doesn't give a shit. And so I survive. In this cruel world.
ReplyDeleteI think most of us are brought up that way. You need a clean an untainted image in the society. But what good it does, I have no idea. Thank you, Nisha :)
DeleteYou are indeed blessed to have such an understanding husband!
NOPE it does not matter what people say .. Kuch to log kahenge.. logon ka kaam hai kehna .. so no matter what you do or who you are there will be someone out there who will have something so say about you always ..
ReplyDeleteI gave up on that years ago..it hurts and it feels bad but then what can you do .. so the best is ignore and do what makes you happy .. that way at least you are happy and IF you are happy yourself only then you can spread happiness ..
orkut has bad memories for me :)
Bikram
Yes, I agree. Now I try to mute out those people and what they say. It works most of the time.
DeleteOrkut has been to good to some and not so good for others. It's all in the past now. So all we have to do is move forward :)
Do what your heart says. Follow your dreams.
ReplyDeleteNothing else matters. Never has, never will! :)
You have said it perfectly, Love :) Nothing else should matter!
Deleteits true no matter what you do, people will judge you. And if you dream to be something other than the stereotyped ones, the number of comments just squares. But in the end, all that would matter is the happiness fulfilled dreams brings !! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is so true, Crimson curls. In the end, all that matters is how happy and satisfied you are with yourself.
DeletePeople and opinions are things that will always be there, no matter where, how and who you are. Taking it for a constructive ride is all good, but it can't matter beyond a level. It shouldn't :)
ReplyDeleteYou said it, Keirthana. I used to be bothered earlier. But now, it hardly matters. As long as you are happy, nothing else should get in the way. Thanks so much!
DeleteWe are good as we are, Aathira... people can only pelt stones. We need to dodge them and get on ! Good one, here !
ReplyDeleteThanks Sreeja :) I feel blessed to be in such wonderful company as you guys!
