Let them come for the real you

Let me tell this in the very start itself, this is just an opinion, an observations and an outcome of a few weird thoughts from my mind. I’m daring to write this down because, our blog gives platform to all such divergent  thoughts . So all responses are very much welcome.

As an author of this blog, this is the first time I’m attempting something in English. It’s not because I hate the language, but the fact is that I’m not that good in it and that my love towards malayalam has always lend to me to work with it . And before starting, I sincerely apologize for all the mistakes I’m going to make throughout this article.

Unlike my co-writers I usually don’t prepare for something I write, when something sparks and I just pen it down. So there may be similarities or repetitions of what I have already written in other articles. I hope my fellow readers will forgive me for that too.

LET THEM COME FOR THE REAL YOU

As the title says, the REAL YOU is quite a big deal to find out, and for that stuff you may take years and even your whole lifetime. The ultimate aim of a human life is to figure this out, and for that to happen, you will need to  look deep into yourselves, probably very deep. When there is a REAL YOU, you can assume that there is always a PSUEDO YOU in you.

Yeah, I’m into that difference between the REAL and PSUEDO in you.  You are really something, which you fail to show others and friend. Dont  be someone else just to gain some people.The main reason for that is, you think the REAL YOU is not capable anymore of holding people to yourselves. So you put a mask and present yourself as someone, who the current society needs. Actually not society, but someone to be part of a certain group of people, who you think is something. You want attention and care from them. 

The REAL YOU never cares for the people you see daily, but the PSEUDO YOU smiles and chit chats with every single person on the street, just to become a familiar face in town. The REAL YOU is a born painter, but the PSEUDO YOU goes behind photographs just because, no friend cares about a painter, but there are many for a photographer. 

The REAL YOU is afraid of speed, but the PSEUDO yells ‘more, more’ just because all others do.There are hell lot of other places where the PSEUDO covers the REAL YOU, just for attention, care and love of some people. And of course it is a fact that by thinking of just the present, the PSEUDO may win in gaining all the above. But not surely for how long he can hold. 

So it’s you, who has to make a choice between the REAL and PSEUDO. Whether you want this love, care and attention of some people for some time or all the above from all, for ever. For a PSEUDO, people you think is everything won’t pay attention for long, since you are not showcasing something you really are. 

Once they find someone better than you in talent or having something better than you have, naturally they find them better. I won’t say that is their fault, it was you who was not ORIGINAL to them. Just because you love them and care for them doesn’t mean they should return it for a PSEUDO YOU.

I repeat for a REAL YOU, they will be there for ever, just because when you are REAL, you are unique. You don’t imitate or you don’t wait for trends. You are always you, and that is the REAL YOU.The REAL YOU, doesn't have to go behind anyone. Everyone comes to him, because you are unique and there will be no one like you and your talents.

The most challenging part in differentiating a PSEUDO and REAL is that, the PSEUDO always has a greater chance in convincing you that it is REAL. And for that I will tell you one thing. A PSEUDO can’t just be a single PSEUDO. It has too many faces as it has to take different forms for different people, whom it thinks is required. And REAL is always REAL. 

Concluding, I don't mean one should be caring and like being cared,  and loved. All these are human. You can have your interests and your passions and all those things.After all you are free to do what you like and be what you want. I just wanted to say, be what you want to be, not what others want you to be. Control what you want to, don’t be in control for others.

There is always space for your madness in this world, if you do things in your own way. Don’t try to be practical  just because others like it that way. The things may be different in their REAL minds. Being REAL, may bring solitude. Remember solitude is king of all art. 

Be mad... REAL mad…
