This is my story that I am finally sharing, after a long deliberation. Because if I didn't share today, I would continue leading a life full of lies, a beautiful instagram feed hiding a conflicted and a restless mind and a fatigued body. If this dialogue strikes a chord with even one person or if I get to hear even one single word of real-life wisdom, it would be my gain. #timetotalk I truly believe that I lead an amazing life surrounded by a beautiful family, caring friends and colleague, have a dream job as my career since I managed to convert my passion into a career. Each day, I wake up excited to meet new people in my work field and inspire me with their stories, the behind-the-scene tales that go on to prove once again - everything that you dream of, is indeed possible. I have connected to so many people around the world that it seems incredible. The problem lies within - how does one take a cue from anything amazing that is happening in life when the brain doesn't tune in to them automatically? Why and when does that brain wiring gets snapped? For some one like me, a moderately high-functioning, over-zealous creative individual, snapping doesn't come easy. But when it does, it becomes very difficult to retune because there's a lot of selfimposed expectation and comparison with the most efficient version of one's self. That's actually a very good and a positive thing, however, can be quite a lengthy process as the thought that strikes it's head is always this - "I can do it myself! No help needed! And definitely Not burdening anybody else!" To be fair, everybody needs a bit of support structure in terms of having 'someone/few people' to off-load one's emotions. And to be unfair, that 'someone/few people' are the chosen ones to be left strained and disappointed the most, when their 'job' of helping out fails. I have no qualms in admitting that I have been living in a bit of doldrums lately. The last one year, I have been working to reverse a few of my physical ailments - an underactive Thyroid, insulin resistance bordering on Type 2 Diabetes, a bit of hypertension and adding feather to the cap, an abdominal hernia surrected from an unhealed laparoscopic incision from a hysterectomy done two years back. Oops, so a forced menopause? No not yet, as the ovaries are still intact - thank goodness for some naturally active female hormones! Excessive weight, dry skin, wrinkling and aging
