Its a lovely morning, the cool breeze is indicating rains, a much needed change from this scorching 50 degree summer here in Delhi. Anyway, in my first blog, I used the word ‘independent’ and now I would like to explain it. That one word; this whole blog. And of course, some usual bullshit. I really like typing all this out and passing time cause it makes me feel like Chetan Bhagat. The only good thing about summer, you get a lot of time to stay inside and do what you wanna do. So I took up blogging.

Hmm…So the usage of independent in the other blog was in the line- You gotta go out there, do something and be independent. Yeah it sounds preachy, but believe me, it is supported by some good examples+the usual bullshit. And its the best one I’ve written yet. So. that independence does not mean single-hood or falling in love with yourself so much so that you don’t need a partner (which has happened to me, I think and I am trying to recover from it), it means that you don’t need to rely on someone else for your happiness and satisfaction. You should be able to accept your own cracks and crevices, embrace them, move along while improving yourself for the future you. So that you aren’t tortured by the now- you and your laziness to do things you wanted/want to do.

That is what love does, according to me. When you find the right someone, you aim to please them with yourself and your actions, and hence you try to improve yourself. I don’t know what it’s like to love yourself but improving yourself for your own happiness has gotta be a small part of it. Doing things that make you happy, living in the moment, loving your faults, holding yourself and telling you that its going to be alright…that’s what independence means. Relying on your own self for your happiness, enjoying your own company.

However it does not mean that you don’t need anyone. No. Everyone needs someone and that’s what makes us human. Vulnerability is a gift we use to bond, to share, to love. It means that when you find the right someone, you are always pushing the boundaries, exploring your limits, you get to know of a newer yourself and at the same time improve your partner. By being yourself…
