Monotonous or a roller coaster? What is your way of life?

Most of the people around me tend to live normal and monotonous life. A life in which they do the same thing every day, you know that general routine. Waking up in the morning, eating breakfast, cribbing about their jobs, getting into a little argument with people around them, then going to work, and then crying about other random things in life or maybe life in general or blah blah.

My parents live a normal life too (only because not learning new things is the new normal). As a child, I always use to ask them if they get bored with the life that they are living and if they are really happy with it. The answer to this question has been the same for years, and honestly, I am not even expecting it to change. My father used to say “duniya aise hi chalti hai, pet palne ke liye kaam toh karna hi padta hai”, khushiyo se badkar hoti hai duniyadari.

And the first thought that used to cross my mind was why would you lead a life that doesn’t make you happy? A life that doesn’t make you look forward to the day ahead.

I shifted to a metro city in 2014, and since then, I have been constantly changing……ahemm instead I would say “I am constantly evolving”. Evolving in the kind of person I am, with the way I think, my lifestyle, my cities, and most importantly, people around me.

Now when I think of it, the reason behind me constantly changing….ufff evolving might be the fear of settling down and living a life that others live.

Oh, I remember the one time in my life when I wanted to settle for that NORMAL LIFE. It was the time when I was 23 and in my first relationship (with a soft-headed and a monotonous living guy). The relationship was too toxic, and one reason might be that we were two very different people. The way we looked at life, the way we wanted to lead our lives, spend our money, our priorities…….basically everything.

Back then, all I wanted was him (I just lowered my standards so much that it took a lot of time for me to make them high again and choose that right man).

Apart from this, I have always craved a fun and impromptu life. A life that makes me feel alive, which helps me learn constantly.

Being financialy indipendent

Being financially independent is not just related to money but independence as well. A financially stable person never bows in front of the wrong. Self-assurance and self-esteem come from being financially independent. I have seen a lot of women out there being taught the importance of marriage, kids, family, and society. But they are not much aware of the importance of being self-sufficient and not depending on others. I feel the future will belong to   only those who understand the importance of investing and not just savings. I won't state myself as an expert in investing but I am not a newbie for sure. The majority of the people follow a set process- they work, earn, spend, cry, work more, earn more, spend more, cry more well this is an endless cycle. In today's world no matter which family you belong to, whom you are married to, how much ancestor property you have. Financial independence is really important. "Invest wisely, so that you can live wisely"

Social media- An inventible part of our lives.

Everything…I mean almost everything in life comes with its own pros and cons. Similarly, the current era which is lead by social media has it's both pros and cons. I see a lot of people around hanging out with phones. The posts on social media actually make me wonder if everyone is on their phone why are they even coming together, instead sit at home alone or go out alone with your phone. Distraction makes us lose f o cus. And the biggest distraction is our self-control, which is being loosened up and one major reason is TECHNOLOGY. The shows nowadays are so intriguing that keeping a track of the time you are spending becomes really difficult. See, I don't hate technology okay. It's an amazing add-on to humankind. But I am against the fact that we are letting it overpower our lives instead of us taking the charge.

Personal vs Professional life.

Being a girl from a typical Indian class family, I have been taught that family should always be my first priority. No matter what family comes first. Even before myself. But I guess the teachings never worked for me. I was never enough invested in my family. Instead, career has been my focus since I was a kid. I guess I was around 6 years old back then. People around me were not able t o  digest the fact of me….a woman being overly demanding in her career and with high standards in personal life. Actually, I don't blame them. It's a matter of fact that none of them had seen a girl like me in person before. As years passed by my priority still remained the same. To date, I don't regret the fact of being invested in my career more than in my personal life. Just because that's not how it is usually done, doesn't mean I am doing it wrong. See, I don't have a problem with other girls out there who focus on being an adarshwadi beti or bahu. That's okay….do it….bu...
