WORK IN PROGRESS 🔨🔦

you can listen to this song while reading my blog 😇😇😇 :

When I was asked to write this blog for my ENG101 course, I could've sworn I had a mind-blowing idea up my sleeve. But, my fate being the bitter old woman she is, decided to play yet another cruel trick on me.That mind-blowing idea seemed to have vanished into thin air. This isn't the first time this has happened, so I am not too surprised.

The world is a funny place to be at. I'm sure everyone around me will agree on the fact that most of us who are already here have not a single clue about what it is that's actually going on (unless you're some sort of a visionary. In that case, more power to you!!!👏).  

I had quite the knack for writing in my younger days, thanks to the atmosphere that my mom succeeded in providing. I'll always be thankful to her for introducing me to the wonderful hobby of reading books, which later culminated in me an urge to write and document my thoughts.

Lately, I've stumbled upon a realization that life is one big "WORK IN PROGRESS" (pun intended lol 😁). It's not a very unique realization I know. But its not always the realization, rather the time and the situation that compels us to have such realizations. Standing on the doorsteps on one of the most difficult and life-changing decisions, I've had to experience a side of the world which I thought didn't exist. I've seen people change the way they look at me, the way they treat me. The same people who used to find my presence welcoming had shunned me, making me feel like a sort of outcast. Truth to be told, I would never, ever wish that sort of mental and emotional stress and trauma on my worst enemies.

That stage of my life, no matter how negative it may, has gifted me with a wonderful realization. That is, nothing is as we perceive it to be. Everything in this life is prone to change ; whether it be people, feelings, situations; you name it! There are some things that happen to you in this life that owe you no explanation, regardless of what people might say. That can and will make you feel powerless and worthless.

However, with great power, comes great responsibility. Along with this realization, I've also come to terms with the fact that I really don't have any control over some of the things that change. If someone or something changes, instead of mourning the change, I just have to adjust the way I perceive it, and make the best out of that situation. Sometimes pushing through the depressive phases of life will provide you with the tools you never thought you needed in life. Exactly like eating an আমলকি, you have to get through the pain of chewing a bitter fruit in order to discover that the water tastes sweet after you're done chewing. But still, if anyone ever feels overwhelmed then I suggest they talk to someone or seek professional help. 

There's nothing in this life that can be deemed as perfect. And there's literally no guarantees that your life will go as you've planned on your Vision board. Life is the 10ft beast that you'll always have to face in the boxing ring. But instead of moping around, trying to knock on doors that we know will never open, we can make the best out of the situation that we're in and build the life we want from there. Just like the words on the song:

"হাল ছেড়ো না বন্ধু

বরং কন্ঠ ছাড়ো জোরে।

দেখা হবে তোমায় আমায়

অন্য গানের ভোরে 🌅 "
