As a girl brought up in a middle class family, I was raised in a way to hide my opinions, thoughts and most importantly FEELINGS. A constant dilemma where letting it out felt like a crime and holding it in felt like suicide. Its beyond difficult to make a choice and even more challenging to stick to it for a person like me. The minute you put your shield down before someone they will attack you- this is the kind of belief we are brought up with. How on Earth then should I ever trust anyone?
Amongst all this mental ruckus between choosing whom to trust and whom not to, we end up missing out on life. Don’t we? Its like standing in a beautiful town at a crossroad and not able to decide which turn to take. We don’t want to miss out on the views or face any dangers if we take the wrong path. Naina said, “Jitna bhi try karlo kuch na kuch chutega hi. Toh jahan hai wahi ka mazza lete hai.” Isn’t it better to just choose something, stop evaluating the if’s and but’s and live like there is no tomorrow. I mean what’s the worst that can happen- death? That is ultimately coming anyways for everyone.
Besides, trusting someone and venting your heart out to them is not a sign of weakness- I feel its the bravest thing to do. I totally salute those that have the courage to open up and have absolutely no trust issues. In this cruel world, being innocent is the riskiest and yet having he courage of going through the worst and sharing about the same is a sign that we have healed.
Live and let live. You cannot trust everyone and you cannot please everyone too. Period.
