Letting Go

Romeo and Juliet is probably one of the best known pieces of fiction in the world. Two lovers separated by family differences find each other only after death makes them meet in the world beyond.

Now, it is a very philosophical way of saying, but in life, sometimes, one must know how to give up. Giving up is not the part where one never tries but the part where one realizes that he or she or they are done trying – to their best. And it is not a sign of cowardice but a very healthy exercise when giving up is accompanied by letting go.

The American star Olympian Simone Biles announced her early return from the Tokyo Olympics citing mental health reasons, the most decorated Gymnast of all time was clearly being braver and more conscious of herself than the way in which many conservatives in her country tried to portray her. She knew that she could not perform if she could not keep calm and that would only make it worse for her – deep in her head. Let us not forget that she holds 32 medals combining World championships and Olympics. In the 2016 Olympics, she singlehandedly won 3 gold and 1 bronze medals and another gold medal in teams event. She, by no means lacks the resources to be the champion. But she understood her mind.

The process is difficult. One might argue that giving up is like admitting defeat. Admitting defeat in the face of a certain defeat is honesty! And although your mind requires some straining, it is up to you to decide to what extent can you strain the same.

Next time, when you are giving your best and after several attempts, it seems futile to continue, give it a thought. Should you or should you not continue.

Love yourself but don’t Hate others.

Love Yourself, is word that tells a person about loving himself. The ones who have nothing but themselves or those who don’t have a support system to lean on, It provides them confidence of being able to have themselves. But is it all that it does. The concept of love yourself has been around for quite a time but it became more evident to everyone after the campaign,’ Love Yourself.’

BTS

The campaign was launched by BTS, a South Korean Band or a K-POP band. The group has gained recognition from their Album, Wings. Prior to this they have released several albums but they were not as successful as this one. After that BTS released Love Yourself. This album also was very successful and lead the campaign for Love Yourself. The campaign is still going in and gave the band a chance to present a speech at UN.

But there are not only positive outcomes of a thing. If it had a 9 good impact then it certainly an have 1 impact that would ruin the whole thing. Many of the fans who watched and followed the campaign turned out to love them so much that they started being offended on little things.

I have seen videos where they just blur out anything to all those who do not like BTS or does not follow them. They also start telling everyone about it and its just irritating for some people.

Now you must be thinking, all of sudden but it has a reason. I saw a video titled Reply to army’s( BTS’s fandom name) parents. The video said about how the parents hate her for watching BTS and wanting to be a K pop Star. And this is not acceptable. Parents don’t like the stuff their children do all the time and they do say stuff like why you watch this and say you just have to do this all day. But that does not mean that they hate you.

BTS

These people need to understand that not everyone out there is against someone. And about BTS they’ don’t know anything except that you spend your whole time watching them so it will be problematic to them. And they will say stuff to you but it does not turns them in someone who hates you. so i would like to request all of you to stop doing it and stop making things like BTS is making you hate your parents.

Thank you for reading abd don’t forget to tell what do you think about this in the commnents.

The closeted souls

Meet Jay , a 19 year college student. Jay came out to their parents last year as queer. You must be wondering why did I use ” their ” for a single person, well the simple answer is- because they want to be called in that way. Because they recognise themselves in a way that might seem weird to you , but is completely normal and real.

How difficult is it to finally understand who you actually are , it takes a lot amount of courage to recognise oneself as someone ,who people don’t relate to. Sec 377 has been legally abrogated. And people have to understand that being themselves is neither wrong nor something to be embarrassed of.

LGBTQ community has been facing a lot of difficulties , from their families , and society as a whole. They are discriminated against, not given equal amount of opportunities, and have to face the brunt of the narrow mindedness of the society everyday. The number of hate crimes against the community are increasing day by day. Despite being a part of the society,they are made to feel as outsiders. Do you realise how difficult it is to understand oneself ,and even more difficult to explain it to others.

The worst part is when they have to look for validation, acceptance for who they are from their loved ones, and they don’t get that . It’s strange for someone to not look at you with the same feelings of love and respect anymore. Fighting for one’s rights has always been a tough battle. It also affects their mental health because the amount of stress and negativity they have to deal with.

Many people have not been able to come out of the closet, not able to accept themselves as who they are. It’s very suffocating for them to not be able to live their life as they want to. For some , it has been a beautiful journey with supportive family and friends, and for some , the journey is just not coming to an end.

 Platforms like Gaysi and Gaylaxy, and publishers like Queer Ink have helped carve out spaces for LGBT people to interact, share and collaborate. These platforms have helped people to share their experiences and help them to encourage others to accept who they are.

I just want to put it out their, that who you are, is something only you can know. Nobody has the right to decide that for you. And don’t ever give that right to anybody else. Loving yourself the way you are is the best thing you can do for you. It doesn’t matter if people don’t accept you , what matters the most if for you to accept yourself and be happy.
