Reflecting on Life Choices: Is It Time to Pause and Dream?
What’s in my heart, I generally write that. I don’t want my personality to become a sacred idol. Despite that, it has started to become one, and I keep trying to break this idol. I sometimes say things that the majority may disagree with. But my stance is just that—it’s simply my stance.
Whether the marriage age is twenty-five or thirty-five, a famous survey serves as an example. I could have avoided starting this sensitive topic. When the whole of Facebook trembled over it, many senior friends advised me to apologize. I did not heed their advice. I faced the reaction.
I could also keep everyone happy by sharing sweet topics, Islamic touches, and pro-max level ethics and wisdom. But I am a living person, not a mummy who would have no disagreements with me. After all this, if someone reads what I have written, I respect them for accepting my strengths and weaknesses and keeping me as their friend; we are connected.
In my everyday life, I follow the same routine: I share all developments in my life with friends, and this habit is present here on Facebook as well. Some of my critics say that there are thousands of capable speakers in special education in Pakistan. They just learned to make timely positive use of social media and became prominent. They are completely right in saying this.
Not everything is meant to be shared with everyone. Some Facebook friends give me more respect and esteem than I deserve. On my suggestion, they sell gold lying at home to install solar panels, sell extra plots to provide themselves and their families with conveniences like cars, and some sisters told me that they decided to marry at the very beginning of their jobs, based on my advice, as the criteria for marriage change significantly after spending some time in a job, making it hard to find a suitable partner. Many of their colleagues are facing this issue.
I believe my critics must agree with some of my points. I read many people, but I am a bit slow to comment.
This year, significant changes have come in my life. I cannot share any of them on social media due to privacy issues, and as mentioned, not everything should be made public. My peers, who are at the peak of their careers, have many stories to tell, and while I have much to share with them, I am also eager to hear their stories.
In my age group, it is common practice for people to get very busy. I have given myself a little break and made things easier, and I will do the things that I would do after retiring twenty-five years from now. I will share the results of experiencing retirement life twenty-five years early, discussing whether it is good to keep oneself very busy until the age of sixty or to take some time in youth to fulfill one’s dreams. Why shouldn’t I talk to those who are pleased to see my reaction or reply to their comments? Why shouldn’t I visit the places I had planned to go after retirement?
I am considering starting a series where we can talk to each other one-on-one over phone calls, whether via video or audio. I am on a long break from school. I have time. Do you have time to step out of the world of posts and comments, or at least to talk?
