What do you want?
Life can be very difficult, I know how bad it can get, The pain of losing someone is second to none. If you know that pain then i am truly sorry for you. How about that I’m starting to tear up in a public internet cafe in Delhi, and i already kind of stick out!!
Things that have helped me, I mediated three times a day, it is an amazing stress release and it helps me loads, I try to surround myself in friends and new people. Do not hide away, sometimes you need to be alone, but do not linger, loneliness breads depression and anxiety.
I also exercise like crazy, exercising releases good hormones and it makes you happier, plus(to quote my mother) “when you look good you feel good too”. Hobbies Hobbies Hobbies Hobbies Hobbies. unless you have happy and healthy mind then you should try and stay busy.
Talk to someone, if you have no one in your home life, then please at least share your story here, When you share your pain, when you write about the anger and the pain and everything you think no one in the world could ever understand, it will help, because you will no longer be alone anymore. whats even better is talking to a person one on one, just make sure its the right person for you.
Most important of all, the thing you absolutely have to do, the one little thing that you hide everyday, that little piece of you that you keep from the world because you are afraid, just…..
…… Be yourself, your true self, if your hiding your personality because your friends wont like you or because its not who your parents want you to be.
Be Yourself, If you have to wear a mask everyday IT WILL RIP YOU APART FROM THE INSIDE OUT, and you will start to hate yourself.
Be yourself, If your gay, if your an emo at heart, if your hiding your true passion in life, then your not really at all.
Be Yourself, If your friends don’t like the real you, find people who do, if your parents give out to you dont worry they will come around, and even if they don’t its ok, because you will be happier when your free.
I want to not be held back by the constraints and rules of society, I want to live life on my terms, I want to be free.
Peace
Unique

I’m taking a long term break from SP but I saw your post and couldn’t help myself. India is a real eye opener. The perfect place for someone trying to find meaning in life to go. The diversity, so many cultures and perspectives to learn from. I would definitely have met up with you and made sure it was the best time you had ever had. Make sure you visit the Golden Temple in Amritsar. There’s no place like it.
Also, I’m not Sri Lankan but I’ve been there. As your in the vicinity, that’s a place you should really consider going. It’s very cost effective if you take a flight from India. One of the most underrated holiday destinations. In fact, I would rate it up there with the best that I have been. People don’t know until they experience it.
I love your post….so full of positivity and excellent advice!
Thanks for letting is know how you’re travelling!
I’m thinking I also need to go for a wander soon..
