This is a blog to post about my personal feelings and emotions… public enough to be posted here and personal enough not to expect heavy traffic.
What have I learnt in the last fifteen months of my stay here??
Time to take stock :
Best things to have known-
- Meaning of friendship
- Depth of Love
- How to handle people with different perceptions
- How to manage sleep
- How to prioritize
- How to focus and unfocus
- Success is not everything in life.. it is important but not everything
Not so good things to have known
- Painful emotions
- Trust is not for everyone
- Success is all people care for
- Looks can take u places (specially if u r a girl).. admit it or not
- People DO NOT ALWAYS TELL THE TRUTH.. even the people whom u think have no reason to
- How people manipulate others
These few things I have learnt.. some were painful experiences for me and some were quite informative.
The professional learnings that I carry are the highs.. Excellence in work may not translate into academics and vice – versa; No matter how high you go, humility pays; Honesty in ur work always pays the most.
The personal learnings I had were the mix of highs and lows … Found someone I loved, lost him before finding; Found the meaning of true love, friendship and trust in someone who was miles away but still beside me all the time; learnt not to let the emotions flow (last time I have allowed myself for this crime against myself
);
There is but one regret – I have stopped loving myself enough here.. I really miss that part of myself. I am too afraid to be lonely here than I have been anytime in my life. I like people but I have grown to fear them too.. its the skeptic in me who has risen and I do not like it, even when I know it is going to help me survive in the big bad world.
The words are soundless,
