Frozen 

As Dhalia sat in her garden as a young girl of 16 she had many dreams and hopes in her life. She wanted a beautiful family of her own, she wanted friends who would love her and to accept her for who she is. As she sat looking at the pretty daisies in her garden the butterflies fluttered about. She closed her eyes to let the sun warm her face with the radiance,  she allowed herself to drift into a beautiful dream of living a life of fairy tale.

This is something that she would often do by herself, allowing the dreams of her romantic novels to bring a vision of romance and happiness into her life. Little did she realize that reality is much different from a novel. Though you could try to have a picture-perfect life there are ups and downs and there are lessons to be learned which she was yet to unearth for herself. 

She fails to understand the reality of life and how things could change with time even in a relationship. Believing and understanding that she could have a picture perfect marriage and a family she went about her life to find the man of her dreams. She went against the wishes of her family to marry the man she loved. Her dreams were all that Dahlia had and she moved on envisioning her future. 

She found it difficult to balance her relationships and to maintain harmony in her life as that was not written in the novel but everything was shown with a picture perfect of fights and romance involved. Dahlia signed up for classes and courses to understand the importance and the nitty-gritty of having a happy and healthy relationship. She tried her level best to keep things going for as far as she could no matter what was said or how hot she felt she only had a dream and she wanted to live it.

 Today, as she sits by the window looking at her garden she has watched seasons change and she sees herself in the reflection of the flowing fountain, she sighs to herself reaching the autumn of her life with everything falling apart and she realizes that she’s come to a point where there is no turning back as winter is just around the corner and nothing will change and time will freeze forever for her. This brought a realization to her of her struggle as she regretted her choices and her trying to live a life that was not true.  

She looks down at the tears which are falling onto our hands and forming a pool with a sigh. She says if only I had understood that I had to learn to live a life of my own choice and will and not try to please the world. It was late for her in her life but yet there was time since she was still in autumn of her life. She could make amends and she could make changes and live a life of what she truly wanted to do for herself not being bothered about what anyone had to say about her.

The journey of hers remains for her so the choice is all that she needs to take be it with relationships or be it with life. She realized that on the last leg of her life she wanted to live the life that she always cherished and desired but had sacrificed for the happiness of wanting to please the people around her. She chose that she wanted love, respect, acknowledgement and achievement in her life. 

This short beautiful story brings a beautiful moral to each and everyone of us to make us understand the importance of not trying to please the world but just looking at pleasing  ourselves and doing things that really need to be done for one’s own happiness and joy and not for others. As you cannot change the world to love you but you can love yourselves and accept yourselves for who you truly are.
