Metal Magnet

It's been a while, maybe a while is setting it low but it’s been a long time since I last wrote but happy Diwali to all! For Diwali this time, my entire paternal family came over and we have been having tons of fun! Every Diwali, we wear new clothes and this time too wasn't any different. I got a sage green salwar and after Pooja, I got to wear it. Everything was fine until I found one of those metal magnets on the salwar and it made me ponder about the metal magnet and salwar in my life. 

I have realized that my childishness is stopping me from growing as a person. I want to learn, grow, and explore my passions etc but something is holding me back, and when I say childishness, I don't only mean a not mature part of me but also the comfort seeking part of me. You know how kids yearn for their parents (it can be embrace or company) it's not always a bad thing but in the long run, it becomes hard to leave the child alone. So this childishness also includes me just sticking to my comfort zone. In the long term, it's going to get worse and it weighs you down just like the metal magnet weighs the salwar down. My childishness is the salwar's metal magnet. 

It's necessary to remove it to wear the dress but I think I'm going to stick with it for a while before going to the store and removing it. I'll miss my metal magnet. 

I'm pretty sure the people in the store or going to think I stole it but believe me, I didn't! 

This is a very weird thing to self reflect from but I value my metal magnet. It's important to make sure no one steals the salwar. It's  just one of those things that is necessary but letting go, will make you grow. That rhymed!

I hope you have a great day/night!
