DO NOT STEP BACK






Do not step back!

Do not step back because of those backstabbers,
Do not step back because your loved ones may leave your journey,
Do not step back because of the fear of the planetary arrangements.

How do you disengage from something that makes you who you are, something that delineates you, something that exemplifies you, something that elucidates you.

Should I go ahead and do it? Why to be uncertain! Is it the fear of gaining more haters? Or probably losing those lovers?

Do you feel nobody stopped a man who entered the military or decided to be a saint all life. I bet that his parents would have been the first to impede him from this journey.

What about the women’s in space stations spending months leaving behind their kids, bearing all the society stabs That physical absence they couldn’t explain!

How did they pull all the stamina together and say I need to listen to me first. It’s not about being selfish! I would call it self-love or narcissism. 

They believed in those insane chemical reactions within their body forcing them to push the limits to the extreme and then after reaching the extreme asking them to push even further.

When it is obscure,
When there is nothing left but fear,
When there nothing to grab,
When it is dark for a little longer,
the universe is demanding your faith.

Stop the race of running away from yourself.
Just step forward…

PURSUIT FOR PERFECTION- THE INSUBSTANTIAL SPHERE





Am still here trying to bail me… In this realm, exacting idealism from a girl.

She was trying to clean the utensils and her mom pointed out kindly the left-over detergent on it. The girl did not like it for she wanted to be perfect at what she was doing. She walked to her neighbor's house that evening. The aunt was too glad for her son who had returned home from a holiday. she told the girl that her son had learned to cook and wash the utensils all by himself and he had helped her that evening. The girl stared at those plates. They caught her attention. Those soap marks on the plate. Am not ascribing this to the society that demands more idealism from a woman. Am bringing into consciousness that we are chasing this perfectness ourselves.

How many girls out there did not learn driving because of the fear of being bullied that women don't drive safe or they lack the techniques to drive.
How many stopped trying for a job in those zones that are still prevailing for men because you fear being underestimated and laughed at.

Hey, wait... I feared engineering for I had difficulty remembering the brands of bikes and cars and how people compared their performance. Honestly even after graduating this is still vague for me. Should I stop it? - I questioned myself. Should we always try something that we have mastered? What are we seeking for?  A platform to learn, experiment and rejoice or to exhibit only the pieces of mastery. Then I answered my inner self it's ok if people mock! I wasn't even gifted with remote cars or a toy bike to play with as a kid. It's still ok not to know everything about what you dream to do. There is this beautiful phase of learning. Just begin! 

This fear of being not perfect has fettered our feet from experimenting and having fun. It is no more cool to blame the others for pouring this fear into you. That fear of being flawless.

Hey girls! That strict tomboy's and cute nerds !!Let us step out, for being imperfect is audacious!!!

Let's Dance to the symphony playing in our heart- yeah you are right! Imperfectly!!!
