Starting Afresh

I have always wanted a new face, a new identity and a fresh lease of life. "Why!!!" asks my husband.

Why!!!I had never given it a thought until that point, but now today at this moment I have my answer.

Recently, I joined a new company and for the first time after years of passing out from college, took part in a competition conducted by the organization.Would I have taken part back in my old organization?. Certainly not, cause people don't see me as an artistic person. People see me a drab and boring married woman, who was let out from most of the conversation just cause my time was up. I couldn't dress well without raising a few eyebrows and if I tried something new people would mock cause they didn't think I was stylish.

I have the liberty to do all the above and much more in my new organization cause people aren't judgemental or atleast they have not started forming opinions. I am not perceived a 20-something boring housewife whose only worries are the evening meal and the grocery list (*Well, that I do*).
The good thing about starting fresh is you can always learn from your mistakes, you can always show shades that were hidden until that point. You can let people choose from what you want to show them. This honeymoon period gets over as soon as people are done with formulating an opinion about you. I bet, you want to show only that white shade of yours cause once opinions are formed it's hard to get off .
The feeling of moving away from your past is comforting, knowing that your past isn't gonna follow you around is ... Life has changed, the surge of confidence when you have that haircut that everyone is raving about is amazing.

 

Life...you get to live it just once so, if you have people around you holding you back move away take a short holiday, come back rejuvenated and start afresh.
