The Story You Narrated

Beneath all of the stories we are telling people about ourself or others, we know the real truth, how much information we received and we fabricated or expanded.

I remembered, few years, I never thought I would be able to be calmer, more patience, more loving and compassionate as I am today. The ways I talk, the words I uttered, the Behaviors and such, it has become gentler each year especially since last year to now, it changed vastly. I never have this believe, I would be that kind of person who is able to minimize my angers, speaking up in gentler ways. But do I realized it? Not until I took time for myself and do some self-reflection. What changed me is nothing but love. It wasn’t about me being loved, it’s about me Loving Someone. Yes, I’m still in the process of being gentle with myself that often times, I still being so hard to my mind and my ego. Being hard in terms, rather than I embraced them with Love, I made them became more powerful because the Fears. But, honestly, if I hadn’t given the chance to love again, I may wouldn’t be like today.

See, when I’m written like so, You would feel what a beautiful Love story! How Loving Someone could make someone like so a b c and d. But the truth, the stories wasn’t beautiful; nor the ending or the beginning. It’s the Intentions and Emotions I put while I was writing and the better I am with words, the more “fairy tales” it would sounded like.

Once, I heard somewhere from Instagram Reels, “it’s the storytelling” that make someone or something is good or bad which to think about it, so true it’s. How the story is (was) being brought up, how the person’s feeling while brought it up and such, what made a story become real or unreal , joyful or sad.

The story of this love story with a man named Aarav wasn’t beautiful in real but I narrated the story with my true feeling and it ended up become loving. It’s the same like the story of our life, whether it is about our love story, our personas, ourself or others, it’s depending on HOW YOU FEEL and How do you want others to FEEL after Reading the Stories.

What are the Story of Your Life?

How do you narrate them?

How do others truly sees you? What are theirs stories about you?

How do you truly feeling vs how do you want others to feel for you?

If you have beginning to lose yourself, when or which situations it all began with?

How influential “other” people in your daily life?

This is also applied not just to ourselves, but how we are also narrating the stories of other people, situations and such a thing too. We have to Reflect and Questions things before we make a decision or believe in something.

Often, it becomes Personalized rather than Generalized because we carried away with Emotions and feelings especially when there’re tears involved or the parts where it have similarities of our experiences.

This is also where we are choosing sides depending on which story lines triggered us the most. Triggered doesn’t have to be sad stories, but it could also be so emotional (loving) because, we are hoping we would and could experienced that. For Instance, me listened to Indian Songs about Love, I would be Smiling with Mind wandering, believing how could it would be for me to be loved or falling in love like so. Because You know,

Eventually, we make ourself as a part of the story and we make the story become Personalized and added personal touches in it — we moderated the stories.

So when you are facing problems right now or seeking for your self-identity, do begin to ask those questions which I had written.

Put ourself Outside of the Box, Detaching ourself from not feeling any emotions. Projecting Your Emotions into Every Problems, aren’t going to give you Justice, Balance or Harmonious Solutions — What are the Stories about, how it had been narrated, by who, why, where and how because we are a Story Teller and the ways, we are telling any stories in our life including ours are based on our current Feelings, Emotions, experiences, Expectations and Imaginations.

And that’s why it says

And The Same like the Story we told to ourself, if we add the feeling and emotions of love and happiness, it becomes a loving, joyful, fun-loving story and becoming the Character we created ourself as. However,

What matters are How Truth the Story, The Essences of The Story and How True The Character is.
