Worrying about how I was perceived in a static world…!

What’s something you used to worry about but don’t anymore?

Hey…

I hope all of you are doing well…!

After the rain washed away my morning routine of taking mithu(pet dog) on a walk,

We walked in our parking for a while and it got weird as it felt like I was trapped in it…!


We returned to our home and began our morning routine which is cleaning her and feeding her which I don’t know why but,

she only eats if she’s hand fed and that is something we have started to do each day…!


There are many things that I used to worry about,

I used to worry about how people would think about what I say or how they perceive things that I say to them…!

When I say worry,

I mean worry in a sense that I used to think a lot before talking which happens to this day,

But,

The sense of filter that I have has become much more common to me which helps me understand people better and speak after listening to people before talking my mind out…!


There were times that I used to think that things would get better without making any significant effort,

But,

When I saw no change,

I pushed myself to be better for the people who are around me,

Who depend on me,

My friend and people who care for me,

People who looks at me in admiration and a person whose presence brings smile to my face and ultimately myself…!


In a crux,

I used to worry how people would perceive me and I changed myself to think that judging and pointing out fingers is something that people do and will do,

What I can do is be better at what I am right now and take it upwards from this point….!


Before I go,

Take a look at the song of the day…!

Well today I bring to you not a song but a ghazal and it takes us back to our young life and people who we separated from who we deeply loved…!

Tabla on the track is like a blessing and the vocals of Parvez Mehdi sahab are out of the world
The link to the ghazal which you can hear on your own…!

Cheers 🥂

Love Waakiye 🤍
