Born on a monday............

Today.
Monday.

Daddy goes to work, mommy goes shopping. Brothers in army and school. Here i am, at home.

So this is it. This is how it feels like to be ORD. Awaiting university entry(which reminds me. I wonder if my student appraisals are done............).

A taste of things to come. It lingers on the tongue.
Freedom? No, thats not the taste. I would have thrown off the one chain, only to be replaced with another invisible one.
No one is really free. In school, at work, among friends, anywhere. We are bound by schedules, group dynamics, commitments etc. I still wake up early in the morning, be it for work, or school, or to prepare to go out later in the day.


But i shall not take those as a restriction. Not a road block, but a funnel. So long as those "chains" do not restrict my identity, i shall bear them.

Restrictions are not chains to weigh us down. They can be jewelery, or weapons as well. Those are chains too. Chains can be used to climb to hard-to-reach heights. Chains can be used to beautify.


Moral of the day: Don't drag your chains like a miserable baboon. Use them, harness them, integrate and make them a part of you. Make them something beautiful. Appreciate your restrictions; they bring order to an otherwise chaotic existence.
