Dealing with commitment issues

One day, I saw a guy with lot of tattoos and if you know me, you know I get very curious! So I asked him, don't you get bored of your tattoo? Because tattoos are permanent. What if you got it with some understanding and now you are grown up with new ways of looking at life but that tattoo! That same old freaking tattoo will haunt you for the rest of your life.

He said something that I loved to hear and it made me rethink commitment. He said that I got myself a tattoo 10 years ago with some meaning. As I grew older, the meaning of my tattoo also kept changing. 

Though the tattoo was the same, the meaning it gave, kept changing and hence he was committed to the tattoo.

In no time, I could relate it with commitment issues people have! 

Look at the Sun. Wait, not literally start looking, I mean take its example. The Sun is the same everyday. Yet it seems differently to us everyday!
Someday when you are tired and come back from the work, you look at Sun with a sense of calm and serenity. The same Sun shines differently for you when you wake up and remove your curtains.

We don't get bored with the Sun, do we? We don't get bored with the moon? We don't get bored with our tattoos! So all I wanted to convey was, is commitment really an issue? Or it has to be viewed from a different lens. The same person means differently at different stages of life. We don't have to drag the same view of the person and think of getting rid of the person.

Today while contemplating on anger, I came across a good understanding and I want to share with you. Anger is a form of energy. Agree? Let's throw out the assumption that anger is bad. Sometimes it is required. So proceed with an open mind. Anger may act as a catalyst towards some solution to a life's problem. It acts as motivation. We think anger is wrong whereas it is of 2 types: C onstructive and D estructive. Do we really need anger? Short answers: In career, yes. In relationship, maybe not. We need some kind of anger with problems to find solutions. Otherwise you must have heard about 'chalta hai' attitude in India. Compromise and adjustment: these doesn't need anger. We ignore our problems and our situation gets worse. It is called escapism. Escaping anger with the help of distractions can...

Change

C hanges are good. It teaches you something new. But the catch is: you may not like it. In fact, it's not easy. It needs rewiring of brain cells that further requires personal effort.  Wouldn't it be better if we keep growing? Picture of the month: A few days back I left my home and went on a journey to an unknown destination. Took a train, reached a village and the rest is one of a memorable experience. It sounds naive, but sometimes you have to do what you have to do and it has no explanation. (Do it cautiously though). Personal Rambling: It kind of makes me sad to say that this is the final newsletter. I am so grateful to you for sticking with me and watching me go crazy with words and photos and whatnot. This small initiative was my way of expressing myself and talking/writing to people. Your replies and thoughts and support meant the world to me. Thank you ♡ I have grown in this while and changed as a person for the good—still a work in progress but more disciplined than b...
