In a span of two decades, a time frame which many (including myself), might consider fairly inadequate as a requisite for forming an insightful and somewhat accurate perspective about life, I have ascertained a solitary feature about the life I wish to lead, namely: a meaningful one. The intricacies of this solitary feature, though presently baffling to my limited years of experience, might (hopefully) display lucidity through the forthcoming experiences I encounter in subsequent years.

My present day discernment of ‘a meaningful life’ incorporates simplistic, yet (as I would like to believe) dependable ideas about character, sociability, behavior, and various other factors which I’m not sure how to explicate in a defined category. A significant aspect of my understanding of a meaningful life encompasses self assurance and confidence, irrespective of the passing opinions of others, along with independence from external validation. I would admit that at present, I am far from inculcating this vision in my life and it would not be erroneous to assume that harboring self assurance is one of the things I struggle with the most.

Even so, I hope to foster a way of life which is based on kindness, compassion, strength, faith and continuous improvement. And if I ever go astray (the likelihood of which is naturally existent), I hope to make steady efforts to stay true to myself.

        You’re welcome, Isha.

        May I ask you if you’d be interested in participating in an anthology with an amazing theme – Self Love & Empowerment. When I heard abt it, I thought of you.

        Normally, I don’t ask people abt anthology but this theme, the compiler & the publisher is a dream combination. If you are interested, I can share with you more info. Thank you for your time 💫

  12. Believing in oneself is, as you rightly say, extremely important, as is not seeking the validation of others. We are all imperfect human beings, that is the nature of being human. Best wishes. Kevin
