Its been ages I kept dreaming, I will see the world through my own eyes, own way. But could never have the courage to give it a go. My daily chores kept me busy. They kept lining up for me. I was reminded of my duties, responsibilities towards people around me. And I kept getting tangled with all these big words. Life became routine, monotonous, dull.
But the dreams have been very persuasive. They wouldn't stop flashing. They kept poking me. Until that day when I really felt I have been forgetting someone really special all these while. That person, who also needs my attention, love and care equally. I was completely giving a cold shoulder to that human being all this while. That person is non other than me.
Why do we give ourselves a back seat I don't understand, when its us who handles the steering of our family most of the times..!!!!
If I am not happy, how can I make anyone happy???? I asked this question to me one day. The realization made me aware of what I am losing out in my life. I realized I stopped living my life long back. I am just living everybody else's life. Wherein I have forgotten what I used to like, love...... the only things I remember are what people around me likes. Their choice have become my choice. I forgot my own identity!!!!!
I realized, I also have to live. I am an identity by myself. I also have emotions. I like rain. I love singing. I love to dance. I love to read. I love to write. I love food, and yes, I love Chinese, Kebabs, fish. I love to paint. I love to travel to so many places. I love to explore new places. I love to meet new people, talk to them, understand them. The list is endless. And half of my life has just gone living other peoples lives.
There's only one life and I can't let it go like this anymore. I also have to start living. And start living from NOW. For there's no tomorrow.
So here I am. Meet me....I am Teetli, the butterfly. The world is in my wings. There's so much to explore. There's no stopping now. Feel free to join me. There's a butterfly in you too. Wake up from the cocoon!! Open your wings!! Fly Fly Fly!! And fly high!!
Tagore rightly said "The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough."
