What would people say? It’s a question that forces you to stop and re-think your dreams, isn’t it? What would people say when you get that job you have always wanted? What would they say if you married the guy you fell in love with? What would they say if you wear that stunning dress you’ve always wanted to wear? What would they say if you don’t want to have kids? It’s been 72 years since we got our independence and we still haven’t stopped the society from impacting our choices. We talk about freedom, modernization, western culture and what not.
What we haven’t talked about is, the ways to stop the society from poking its nose into our daily lives. Yes, I’m a girl who belongs to the same society where I’m not allowed to go out with friends or work at night, and who is constantly under pressure to meet the society’s expectations. Why? Because what would people say if I work night shifts to support my family or hang out with my friends to have my share of fun?
It’s time we stop thinking about others and start living our own lives. It’s time we let go of all the negativity around us and start thinking about what would make us really happy. Because honey, this is the time for us to make decisions for ourselves. It’s time for us to chase our dreams and make things happen. Be it wrong, let’s learn from our mistakes. Let us make stupid choices and learn from them.
