so its the 2nd day of my new found freedom:) that is my staying at home as a full time house wife ....yea doesnt sound that great! but i am thinking of this time as being at "Rehab" i mean literally! i have actually been doing NOTHING at all....and trying to think about how to free my soul of the -gativities of the past four years. It not that last 4 years were a total waste ...no they were not! i have met the most mazing people in these years, had the most fun, excitement, feel of power(being able to make a difference) i have had the pleasure of helping so many people in different aspects..... in short last 4 years have matured me as a person,what i AM today is mostly what i have been through these few last years:) i have been blessed with the bestest of frnds and have learnt that you life can be as beautiful and as ugly as you make it....i ahve come across such charismatic people who can do it all with grace and at the same time have come to know such shallow people who inspite of having all stink big time!
cause at the end of the day what all matters is how you life has shaped you for the better, what respect have you earned from those around you, what have you given back and what you have become. i believe that your life is measured by the number of people who respect you and will truely miss you when you are gone, and remeber you with great regard. I am not saying that i acheived that wholly ( there are i am sure many people, who think of me as not so great ) but what feedback i got from some people on my last day at work has left me "proud" and overwhelmed :)
"This is for my friend Mehwish.
She came to me at a time when all my friends had left the bank and alone I was sitting somewhere in the corner of NJI building, perhaps going through some of the worst days for me at work. It was the TBM, the most dreaded and the most fun event that Commercial bank did every year that brought us together.
A True original, Mehwish is not impressed or inspired by anyone and more importantly does not have one ounce of superficiality in her. A person who believes in what is right and stands by it, even if the whole world disagrees, and really at the end of the day, do we really care what others think? I know some people whose entire lives are built around what others think of them, I almost became that. It took someone like Mehwish, who is much younger to me, to show me it was A-okay to be who you are.
Mehwish’s unsaid motto has been – be yourself, ‘cause that’s the hardest thing to be. The last of the true originals, Mehwish will be dearly missed. "
Don’t drop the baton, ok?
