Being the Side Character

  I know all our life we have been taught to do better, whether it is in school or any other sphere of our life. We have been taught to dream big and work hard to achieve these goals. This is not just what we are taught but this is what everyone is doing around us. I remember seeing my mom working super hard balancing being both teacher and a mom. Running on just four hours of sleep, she used to say to me “I want you to achieve everything that you want to achieve in your life. I want to fulfil your every dream whether it is big or small”. Ironically, my dream was to see her rest, peacefully watch her sleep without worrying about being late or casually roaming around in her pj’s.   Now see we all are trying to be the rat running on a wheel, trying to achieve something invisible. All we need is to stop running and be at rest, so that the spinning wheel can stop, and we can have a sigh of relief. So am I trying to stop you from working hard or dreaming big. Not at all, why ...
