Me , Myself & my Mind

I have a tendency to let people too far into my life. I guess that comes from a tendency to please all or needing to be liked especially as a child . Atleast that is what I always thought about myself. I used to think flexibility and adaption is the key to happiness . That led me to sacrifice a lot -my emotions , my desires . But now I have left all of that behind me .I am trying to . And it's hard .
Now I believe it originates out of joy of meeting people especially the like minded ones. Attractive people. I am not talking about being physically attractive per say...but what I mean is people with a beautiful , clean heart , who have the courage to live upto their passions . (and I said passions(plural) and not passion ! )

I'm not one for direct confrontation. I just hate to make other people uncomfortable. Yet I know myself and at times the minds of others. And that's a good thing. When I take the time to see who people really are, who they genuinely show themselves to be then I have the awareness and the power to set my own personal space with a larger perimeter. Or smaller as the case may be. There are those in my life who will always occupy the inner sphere, so to speak, and those that I have left behind from my personal space.
I'm fine with the choices others choose to make regarding their own lives - their space but for me at this time in my life .. I will not bend unless it is my choice and I truly, absolutely feel compelled to do so.

"Jaane Woh Kaise Log The Jinke Pyar Ko Pyar Mila
Humne To Jab Kaliyaan Maangi Kaaton Ka Haar Mila
Bichhad Gayaa Har Saathi Dekar Pal Do Pal Ka Saath

Isko Hi Jeena Kehte Hain To Yunhi Ji Lenge Uf Na Karenge
Lab See Lenge Aansoo Pee Lenge
Gham Se Ab Ghabraana Kaisa Gham Sau Baar Mila Humne To Jab..."
