Question mark. AKA - single in a friendship.

I just finished reading an article about friendships which quite honest describes what makes our relationships with other people real and fulfilling. And suddenly the question popped up in my head, are my friendships good; am I happy with the way I choose who I’m gonna let into my world? Not quite.

I find it hard to trust people. I don’t think people are mean, I’m not afraid I’m gonna be hurt by others, I’m not afraid of leaving or ending… I have a feeling that my world will crash if I relieve my thoughts and fears. I’m scared that I’m not gonna be able to accept the words that my lips are pronouncing. My friends don’t know much about me, even though they ask all the time, but on most of the questions I do not give an answer. I’ve been too many times in a situation where people tried to change the way I think or the way I live, simple because it is not ordinary and I do not fit in a typical picture of a girl in this country. I wonder why is that? Do people feel better about themselves when they are trying to fit you into the usual category? Or this habit just makes our lives easier?

Why everything has to be labeled? Why do we have to fit into just one category? And if we do not, are we not “good enough”, “normal”, and “wanted”? I personally hate labels, and I refuse to define myself. Can I be “all inclusive”? Can we all? I’m wondering why it is so hard to be honest, fragile, why I am scared to have floss. Maybe it is because I have big expectations from myself, maybe I’m the one who doesn’t want to accept that I’m “all inclusive”? Could it be that this is the reason why I fell like an alien among the people? Could it be that we are all playing some kind of game, and I’m the only one that doesn’t know the name of the game? And more important, why do we have to play the game? And is there anyone else who is feeling as an alien?

And where are all this questions coming from?

I recently discovered a blog to which I become addicted, and simplicity of it inspired me to put my own thoughts on a virtual paper. I’m gonna try to be bold and frank in writing, and hope my words will be honest and spontaneous. ....

As some of the people in my life know - moves were never a problem for me, but when it comes to words, well, finding the ones that will describe the best "a beautiful mess" of my head can be a problem.....

.. ..

And I’m stuck again…....

.. ..

Ok, here we go.....

.. ..

About a year ago, I gave to myself the most precious gift, Yoga classes. I didn’t know what to expect, and for sure didn’t expect to turn my world upside down. And just to let you know - ground is still shaking, trying to set the balance. ....

I didn’t expect to be so hard – and it is, I’m not going to lie, so hard that on each class ” For a few seconds I even hate Yoga" – like my favorite blog writer wrote. ....

I took me quite a while to realize that that’s just a resistance game that my mind loves to play. I took me quite a while to accept that the world I created represents just a game, with different actors in different surroundings, which I’m constantly playing. And yeah, life is a game, but I don’t have to be an actress to play it. I can just be me. One of the hardest thing, but I love each second on the “stage’. Because I’m present to be me in very this moment. ....

.. ..

But if I can use just one word to describe it, I would say: Yoga is simply BEAUTIFUL.....

To use my favorite verse: “Somehow the Sun keeps shining upon you”. ....

It gives me freedom, and a chance to be me, real me, in this now moment. How often do you let yourself to be just you?....

I get answers to all the questions that my mind creates, even when I’m not asking. And never will stop asking.....

It is a journey, a wonderful journey of knowledge. I learn how to understand and accept myself – mind, body, soul – all together, as well as way to understand and accept others. And this is not always easy, but the thing is, it doesn't have to be. You just have to keep your mind wide opened. I discovered (and still do) peace, honesty and simple life truths – which I would love to share with all the people I know, consciousness, gratitude, smiles, patience, love, life, and how to respect it, people, myself - all the little things that spin the world. Happiness is knocking on the door too (guess it is shy :), and I do open the door. ....

....

This journey is scary, but of all of my fears, this is the one that will never end. I would love to see passengers joining. Just live in the present – in just this moment.....

.. ..

And remember: amazing thing is that we all have so much beauty inside ourselves; we just have to wake it up and allow it to meet the beauty of the world. Because, the world is beautiful – just look the Sun.....

And send out your ray of sunshine.
