Being a girl people expect you to do things in a certain way. Similar to what we see all around..girls have to be beautiful, long hair, fair complexion,you should know how to cook, polite, well educated to socialise in huge gatherings and many more.All this is expected of you if you are a girl and coming from a middle class family.
I am a simple girl but theres a rebel in me too. Recently during my last semester when college was almost to an end. I realised I have nothing to do or apply my brain on. No college, no lectures, no discussions, and no internship!!
During this time people expected me to start working, getting placed and being happily sacrificed at a job i never wanted myself to be in. They expect you to be at home if you are not working. They expect you to walk, talk and even behave in a particular way as you are grown up now.Though i am blessed with a family who understands me, a sis who behaves like a friend and a mentor at the same time. But still there are a few who like you to behave in a particular manner.
It was that period of time which made me realise I am not one of the lot who go with the flow and act like a dead fish. But like any individual even i have my own journey, experience and end. Then why others want me to behave in a way that is right just according to them. After thinking for a while I came to a point and left my place without informing anyone.
I had nice looking hair but i decided to get them cut short. Everyone got surprised to see my hair do.I am already short and in addition to it, my hair cut made me look much more younger like a kid. I had no answer to their question- why i got them cut.Some said its looking good. I just loved the expression i saw on the faces who didn'nt like my cut.I had no answer for them but it was just my simple way to show my rebellious nature to those who don't understand and to say no to accept the way others want me to be.
The moment I got my hair cut I hd peace of mind and felt relief that its my life and only I have a right to decide for it. It was the placement time and people expect you to look mature and beautiful when you enter this industry. But beauty lies within you and my talent and capabilities can't stop me from doing what I am made for or excel in. Others just understand job packages and presentation but I prefer job satisfaction and my work is my presentation. Sooner or later I will achieve what I want to but no word like compromise should stop me from moving forward.
