Ok so I have practically wiped out my salary with unaccountable spending on the most unnecessary yet the unavoidable. (I can see the guys rolling their eyes & girls nodding in acceptance. God you have to admit M.A.C & Body Shop are hygiene)
Yes so here I am writing on the 'Simple Life'. Don't get me wrong I'am not trading my life like little Miss Paris Hilton or her clone Nicole Ritchie nor am I participating in some 'big switch' on some 'just cause I am bindass doesn't mean I sleep with other people' channel.
I am writing about my moment of epiphany in the past few weeks months since I have started earning & spending money. Now that I have the power more like 'Visa Power' in my hands I could buy things I like and fancy (well not all thinggs my wardrobe wouldn't mind a burberry bag & a Manish Malhotra) Body Shop, MAC, branded clothes, shoes, bags, food i like to eat (which is considered junk by all mothers). But at the end of the day I felt empty, I feel empty.
This is something I couldn't fathom so I started buying more & more. Till I realised that it wasn't helping. Don't get me wrong ladies shopping is thereaupatic so is a manicure & pedicure, spa & everything thats external. But the moment doesn't stay long. It is only that which is internal, stays long- forever! & also determines something called as 'eternal happiness' i.e. happiness & joy that does not change with immediate situation.
And there is nothing like keeping things Simple, Uncluttered, Uncomplicated. 'SUU' as I call them are like seeds to nourish what some of us actually have & call 'our soul'. For the others (& I am not being bitchy, there are actually people who don't) there is always Master Card & Visa Power or Some Dude/Bimbette with Rich Father Power.
I have this way of resenting monotony. I can't stand it. Routine are just not my thing. I try & re-invent myself everyday. May be by wearing my hair differently, wearing different pair of earrings. just doing something different. Doing something new however not the same new if you get what I am saying. Now that definitely comes from the fact that I love attention (WOW I never new I could be so honest) But lets face it We all love attention! Someone to notice us or maybe not. For me it doesn't stop there. It goes a bit beyond that. It is a self motivation exercise in this creativity & humour lacking environment.
If your wondering on my lack of coherence please stop I was just giving you a background to my over the top gestures - Attention & Self Motivation
But I am still realising (Work -in-progress) the importance taking a U-turn and getting more internal. And when I do that I realise that things can be simple - like my new earrings can be small and elegant. I can reuse the ones I already have. Make the most of what I already have. There is never going to be a day when I think it's enough. Every time I read a Cosmo am going to want the dress & watch & whatever else is in it.
But it is going to be momentary before I want something more. What will stay with me forever is what I build of my character, the amount of time I spend with my family, my love, friends. How much value I can create in the lives of others through my efforts. After all your talents are not for you but for others right.
I guess that comes with SUU - Simple, Uncluttered, Uncomplicated
PS: This dedicated to my love for living and believing in a simple life & to all those who are angry at me for not writing for a while now. I hope you guys like this
