Being Obedient

Being a very obedient child right from the start, I was always successful in fulfilling everyone’s each and every expectation they had from me be it getting cent percent marks in exams or doing a course in college which they wanted me to do because they being experienced knew very well which course would help me get a great salary in the future once I started working. 

But as I grew up and decided to have a life much different from what people wanted me to have, I realized quite soon that having expectations from someone brings you nothing but pain and sadness because its not always that a person will choose to fulfill each and every expectation you have from a particular person. Each person is different and so is the life they decide to live once they complete their education. Expectations are nothing but a curse to humankind which if you once decide to have , be rest assured you’ll be left crying with a lesson not to expect anything from anyone not even from your close ones. 

Time passed, and I decided to isolate myself because I neither wanted people to keep expectations from me nor hurt them when I failed to fulfill those since I wanted to have a life much different from the one my own close ones had envisioned for me. It’s difficult in the beginning to start walking on the path you created for yourself and especially to transform yourself from the obedient girl to an independent focused and confident young woman who knows what she wants and wont stop until she had achieved it. 

It’s time that even the world understands this that if someone is breaking expectations, it's not because they are spoilt its just that they know what kind of life they want to have in the future and now that they are independent they want to do something for which they’ve been waiting since a long time and if they have the life they want, even if something goes wrong they wont have anyone to blame but themselves for ruining their life yet having an experience and learning some lessons on how to live life.
