Dancing In The Rain



It was raining for quite a long time and she regretted not bringing her umbrella today. Everyday she would bring her umbrella but it would never rain not even for once. But just today it slipped from her mind and the dark clouds rumbling with loud noises took great advantage of it. It rained and rained and flooded the streets. Now, she tried all ways to find someone lend their umbrella. Some would say, "sorry I just got one", "sorry, I can't give", "Ask him/her if they have a spare one". And so one by one people declined sharing their umbrella. She would think how insensitive of them. But that's how people behave in their defense; strange and selfish.

As the heavy grey clouds hovered above slowly in the sky and darkened the atmosphere making it gloomy, she would feel dejected by everyone's denial to help her. Without any ado, she stood up from her desk, took her purse and walked out of the office. She couldn't helplessly keep asking them only to get downhearted again and again. With her firm mind and determination she walked bravely in the rain as if ready for a combat. The drops of rain showered on her wildly blurring her vision but she wouldn't give up. She began to pace fast and soon found herself under the shelter of a bus stop. 

The bus arrived in no time and she made way for herself, trying to step onto the bus and then pushing people aside to get herself the seat. To her relief, she found an empty window seat, grabbed the seat and sat while breathing heavily. She looked outside, it was still raining however it didn't bother her now. This incident only reminded her of her childhood when she was a kid, dancing in the rain, careless about what others would think, her dress getting all wet and muddy as she jumped and danced and delighted with joy. Nothing had annoyed her not even the thought that she would eventually catch cold and lie down in bed with a high fever. These golden memories replayed right in front of her eyes as if it were real, as if it was happening just now. She was a little girl again with two ponies swaying left and right.Giggling, laughing and dancing with her friends.Making paper boats and their relentless efforts to make it sail in the unsteady rain. A sudden loud honk and the jerk of the bus got her mind back to her present making her realize that her destination had arrived.

"It wasn't that bad though" she thought to herself.

Self Love And Relationships

When you don't love yourself, you do not appreciate anything in your life including the people and the things you have. Albert Einstein said, "Nothing happens until something moves". The question is, are you willing to make a move and love yourself? Are you willing to accept who you are including the flaws you have? Are you willing to change your life? If yes, then my friend you have come to the right place and I am here to make you fall in love with yourself. You must have noticed that when people love you and you don't receive the love back with equal affection or don't return their love, they simply block you from their life or walk out from your life. And then you feel that nobody loves you, that you are alone, you feel lonely and you think people don't love you. This life of misery continues until you realize that you are the one who was blocking out all the love from outside because you didn't have love within you. What I would like to...

Unfailing Outlook

While you have dreams in your vision to fulfill them,you also see on the other hand how people are living their life. The kind of life you too are dreaming at the moment. Someone's a doctor, musician, singer, astronaut, engineer, architect etc.Perhaps every individual lives up to their dreams as without dreams reality hits us hard.   To live your dream you need to have an ambition,an aim,strength to resist trials and tribulations,undivided focus and hard work.  And all this comes with a cost - Time! Time which keeps ticking at every mini second Time that doesn't stop Time which is the present Time that guides you to make or break your life. Like the wrist watch on your hand completes your style,the same way the time is a constant reminder to you to walk on the pedestal or you'll get hit by a car. But at times,we fail,we feel let down due to circumstances and sometimes hard luck. Whatever the issue of concern may be but it's really important to ha...

Give Yourself First Priority

Often times, we give priority to others. Self-love is considered as being narcissistic and egoistic. When you give love to yourself, you don't become selfish, you are giving yourself the value which no one else will ever give. But people consider both the terms same. Forget about what others think. When you need to put on weight or shed some weight, you are doing that for yourself, not for others, but because you want to truly feel beautiful within.  When you love singing even if your voice cracks, you are doing that because there is no satisfaction to you when you sing in an orderly way. It's just the way you like to sing.  When you dance in a crazy way in your room, you do that for yourself. When you focus on your career first even if it demands others attention, you do that because it gives a sense of purpose to your life. It doesn't mean you are being ambitious or selfish. It's your passion, your joy which you love! So why do you care what people will say...
