My Happy Ending

-

 

Do you remember how every fairy tale ended? If you don’t then the next line will refresh your memory. “And they lived happily ever after”. I patiently waited every time for my grandmother to finish a story so that I could hear that line. Twenty years have passed since then and here I am writing this blog wondering what makes me happy. Is it my family? My friends? My dog? The answer to that question is…ME. I’m not trying to sound narcissistic, but it’s true. I realized that my happiness shouldn’t depend on anyone but myself. The only difference between a fairy tale and my life is that my life is a reality, and I don’t have a fairy godmother to fix my problems, so I have to make constant changes to make miracles happen in my life. “Change is the only constant”, it's funny how these two words are quite opposite to each other but when put together have so much gravity in them. I resented change for the longest time but eventually, I learned to embrace it because I realized to grow as a person, I had to get out of my comfort zone. Students my age struggle to find happiness because instead of searching for something that drives them to do better, they search for validation. Today validation has become so important that it has shaken everyone’s belief system. As a student myself let me tell you that the moment you look for validation that’s when you start doubting yourself. So what if you’ve done something that isn’t perfect? At least you will be satisfied knowing you did it yourself and most importantly you did it your way, take this blog as an example, I had no idea what I wanted to write about but once I started, I knew I wanted to share an experience that was candid and not sugar coated, a story that not everyone might accept but at least I will be satisfied knowing my first blog was simply me. Matthew McConaughey, in his book Greenlight, said “I haven't made all A's in the art of living but I'll take an experienced C over an ignorant A any day.” I know we live in a world where there is comparison and competition, but we also live in a world where there is compassion and companionship so don’t hesitate when you want to try something peculiar. Trying to fathom out what you want in life is a strenuous effort and honestly, it’s completely acceptable to be clueless sometimes because someday you’re going to crack that code. I don’t know what I want from life, but I know what I don’t want and that’s somebody else trying to write my story for me because even if I don’t have a happy ending at least I know I can change it whenever I like because the pen is in my hand. So, don’t wait for your happy ending, just write one yourself.
