Don’t choose to be an engineer just because it pays well.
Don’t drink because everybody does today.
You can be fearful and still use it to tame your weaknesses and build your emotional strength.
Where do high school kids get weed from?
Don’t go to the gym because it’s a fitness fad.
What makes you YOU.
What if he’d come outside?

Yes, I was not at all happy.
I am an ordinary human being with the same body structure as you who are reading, you and I have the same material of what our bodies and brains are made up of.
Everything has shaped me. Friends who gave me their pens and journals. Best friends I never made. Crush that made me write poems while he didn’t care. Romances I’ve missed. Opportunity to become an editor or a news correspondent I missed. I think all this has made me the writer I am.

To take out these experiments, accept the asymmetry of your emotions, your eccentricities, aspirations and thoughts for what they actually are. Instead of filtering it through the social system, recognize the difference and apply it in your life.
“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” - Lao Tzu
Don’t get a partner because you’re jealous of your friends.
Until the day I choose to listen to myself. I let my subconscious go wherever it wanted me to go. It was not just in dreams I wanted to live, but in real life. Not allowing others to cloud my personality, my ability, my inclination towards philosophy, knack to motivate others, and my indifference towards others’ opinions.
Anxious to get a job, I chose to do what was socially recommended for me. So, I tried. Being a govt. servant. Failed. A Research Scholar. Didn’t make it. A Professor. Guess what?
Consider a rat who never came out of the hole fearing for his life. He stayed in the dark for years and died one day, unbeknownst.
So, keep on experimenting.
Do anything and everything because you like it. You love it. Do the things that make you go crazy. Things you’d barter your breath for. Things that make your life a rainbow.
Experiments: My life has been a group of experiments that failed to take off until I resorted to writing.
If you’ve read this far, let me tell you one more thing.
Tried everything. A well-paying corporate job, govt. exams. Nothing provided me with security. I didn’t have time to myself. Hustling was my name. Didn’t go to parties, travel or anything. Didn’t talk to friends.

All of it would have been different, and this life would mean something, at least for him.
I know being a writer is no different. But my journey is different. Its unique to me.
I have always wanted to write things. Wrote poetry during my grad and reluctantly left it for preparation of a govt. exam because who’s got extra time for it.
Otherwise, thank you for reading. It was fun writing to you all. Hope it helped you in more ways than one.
Not ignoring emotions because they can be destructive. Not underestimating your aspirations because society calls them second-rate.
Take my word. You won’t regret it.
Why do you think it is bad to allow people to self-identify as a different gender?
Long story short, here I am. Being a writer. Doing things I’d always love to do. Sharing my experiences of what I learnt.
Honestly, there’s nothing that makes ‘me’ different.
So, what actually makes us all different?

I always yearned to go for government jobs because I had a few relatives already into it and doing well with money and security. And here is me, with an arts background, uncertain about what to choose.
He would have experienced the miracle called light. Maybe he got better food to eat. Then he got wounded. Then in search of balm, he travaled to the wilderness and found a party of rats, eaten to its heart’s content and danced the night out.
Not because people show it off and you have to follow the lead.
You know how all of this enlightenment came to me.
Indeed, a number of other factors contribute to your uniqueness, but that’s for you to introspect.
C’mon, it’s an opportunity to break the rules, stand out and become ONE of a kind.
Experiences: What has happened to me? Have I led a normal life with two parents and two siblings? Yes. Breakups I’ve had. Friends I’ve made. School I have attended. Guides I’ve met. Places I’ve been.
Being different is being a mess, yet being okay with it.
Become different not according to the world, but according to what you like and what you don’t.
A govt. job could do it for me. Plus Money, plus security, plus prestige.
I experimented. A lot. And now I know I don't need more trials of this kind. I’m writing this today at just the right place from the comfort of my home while it rains outside. While a cold breeze rings music to my senses.
Being different is being okay with failure, so you know what the dessert of a win tastes like.

P.S. What’s your idea of being different? Do you have a different point of view?
Agree?
Can you make it?
Even if that means disappointing your parents and teachers for some time, but believe you’ll eventually make them feel proud.
Without experiments, is life worth it.
Being different is being a weirdo. And being okay about it.
