Nothing Vivid about this!

Sometimes, and this happens every once in a while when I get some time to peep into other people’s lives by stalking them on Social Media!

I mean, we put up so many happy faces, pretty ones too, photos of achievements, emotional notes for others, just so many positive emotions. Something good is happening everywhere it seems- the world is perfect, as perfect as it can be.

But, is that the truth?

Maybe not! We are all bogged down by our own problems. We are all seeking validation in our own ways- we all have our demons to struggle with.

Like this afternoon, while we were having yet another language class, I literally felt like asking one of the kids-“Soni, tujhe mai achhi to lagti hu na.” At that point in time, I needed my validation from that 10 year old whom I was struggling to teach spellings!

I had a call at 9 pm, my neck was paining like anything, I had 5 active tabs that I needed to work on and I had nearly given up- all I wanted to do was end that call. Luckily, it did end in 10 minutes and I got so tired and relaxed at the same time that I shut down the system and called it a day.

Right now, as I am writing this- I am thinking of watching Supernatural- it is sort of my comfort series. I am also thinking about how privileged I am. Like this very evening, I told my mom about how much it mattered to me when she told me that I will have to look beyond the usual safety margins in the business and think big to grow big, mostly because I have their support.

I am lucky to have this safety cushion, and I know not everyone has it. We all have our struggles, but if we have enough time to write about them on Social Media, I just think that we are privileged enough.

Meanwhile, here is a tired selfie (and damn, I look good even in this one) without my favorite Vivid filter and the double chin showing!

Life isn’t perfect- but that doesn’t mean that I’ll not brag about the good parts on Social Media!!

Have a Good Night you all!
