All our life we get busy passing tests-school papers, college exams, security checks, ownership checks, we need approvals, we wait for validations. When I see around even our identities go through checks, age checks, background checks.. all sorts of checks. Sometimes we threaten our own existence, sometimes we have help from "too interested in our lives" strangers.
Where do we all come from, where do we have to go and where we actually go? Our identity was gifted to us by our parents, we work on it our entire life and yet we look for validations from people who can never know us better than we know. And its a chain, the one seeking validations from someone also plays the role of validators for others. Why be a part of this cycle at all?
We mean different things to different people, yet we fall for those who won't understand our worth. Why do we feel the need to "Lean On", why not strive for self sufficiency..when our own shadow is not always around, why do we expect someone to just be there always. Be someone's support if you can ever be but why keep forgetting that if you can be someone's support why not be your own lifeguard.
When the life sets sails (BIRTH) or when the journey comes to a halt (DEATH), we are not asked for permissions and it just happens. Neither the beginning is in our control and nor is the end, then why control everything around.
Don't let NEED decide someone's IMPORTANCE in your life. Don't let IMPORTANCE be your NEED.
There are no validation rules, then why play the game. Be your own critic and admirer. Trust me sometimes ONE is just enough.
