Truly, your life has been filled with many unfortunate incidents and challenges...i understand that hatred and bitterness are strong emotions and not easy to give up...but would like to share some thoughts with you...see if they make sense...
Independence and freedom are just not in having money in hand ... true freedom is to be free from the depressing clutches of our own mind ... and to be able to lead a peaceful life...if you are a prisoner of your past...what freedom are we talking about...it is said that you are your own enemy and friend... choice is yours...
In the youth we have all the forceful emotions...mostly helped because of a healthy body...but slowly as we age. if we do not take care of our mental health, the body deteriorates quickly and then we would look back only with regret... time doesnt come back...every moment you spend in the bitterness of past...your present and future are both going waste...do you want that to happen...
a healthy body and a peaceful mind ...is worth crores of money...and this bitterness... is not going to let you have both...
it is said that the food that we eat...if it stays longer than required would become poison in our body...what about the negative emotions staying for years in our mind...
our mind plays a lot of games ...sometimes offensive, sometimes defensive, sometimes attacking, sometimes victim, sometimes good and sometimes bad...but as humans, we have the power of intellect to say no to the games of the mind... that is real intellectual strength to say no to the defeating self pitiful whinings of the mind...not degrees in colleges... each person has the strength...but never know of it...until someone points out..may be this message helps you find your inner strength...
I am sure you would have heard Nirbhaya rape case... She and many other girls who have faced similar and worse incidents are no more and dont have a chance to do anything now...but you have your life...fill it with strength and positivity and become a better person... the whole world will appreciate your courage...
One thing we learn as we grow is that as much as it is difficult to change ourselves, it is impossible to change others... so if you want a better life... there are better chances if you work on yourself than expect others to change and become better/ apologize / understanding...after a point...the changes in others dont even matter as much as the transformation in your own self to a simpler, happy person...
and it would surely seem impossible to forgive and move on...here are few things that might help...yoga and meditation...find a good teacher and pursue with perseverance...
read stories of people who have faced diversities and still have managed to live a better life...
involve yourself in social activities...teaching...cleaning...
travel as much as you can and see the real world...real people...
pursue some hobby more seriously...
when you do any of these...where you connect with your self or with other people...you will find that for sometime you have forgotten everything of the past...
now when another time, the past tornado strikes you...you know how to escape it and get into a safer, higher land...
virtual world...however entertaining is not going to help you get back the life..so doing more outdoor activities may help...
we label ourselves as "feminists", "conservative" and then struggle when others also label us...ditching all labels, being a free soul is a thing of more pride...
I bless you that all bitterness from your life disappear and sweetness and positivity fill your life...and you be the one who achieves that...dont wait for someone else to make life peaceful for you...
