Struggles help or ruin?

We humans are damn lucky that we are able to express our minds… As I am finally starting to write a blog because I am in a midst of darkness, I believe most people have must started like that. Time is ticking away and we are incapable of stop holding it. Either living it or not living it, the doomsday is anyway going to come. This is truth. The whole life is gone by the time you know the true meaning of life. There are millions and infinite number of beliefs people have about life- to love and be loved is life, to earn money and live is life, to be happy is life, to have family and earn for them is life, to struggle is life……

Struggles! What is it to struggle? Right from the beggars to millionaires, every one is struggling to keep up with life. I belong to a poor family consisting of five members including me with monthly income of only 30k of one member in the family. This is a real state of poverty, right.

At the cusp of being 27 years old, I decided to live on my own having no money, I started with the money borrowed from friends. I was so done with living in a community life. I started a job which I got into through a friend’s help. Initially, with the great pledge of not wanting to stay at home, I really did my job well. But gradually I don’t know what happened, I became lazy and started making excuses, forgetting that it was my only hope of survival. And the day came when boss asked me to leave the next day. It was the end of my life. My heart came out, my mind went blank. And in utter shock and my unwillingness to show my helplessness, I said “Achha Thik hai Sir”. But inside I was dying.

The struggle helped me to stand on my own feet and earn for a living. But I am struggling again. I can tell struggles don’t feel good at all. One wants die as I am feeling the same way. Thank God I have no guts to die. I can’t even tell my family as they will call me home. But I don’t want to go there. I can’t live with so many restrictions and unnecessary boundaries. So will i do now. I will share my experiences here…
