The Muddled Mind

Being born and brought up in my hometown till the end of my college, all I ever wanted to come out of my shell and explore the world out. I was desperate to move on from my already established happy world. . . . . I wanted to try all new opportunities, try out living alone, making decisions all by myself, meeting people and basically all grown up stuff. . . . I am not complaining right now but I just realised that while doing and wanting all grown up stuff, living out is very confusing.

That's how you will always end up distancing yourself from the people and the world and become all alone and then blame everything except yourself. Not the way to live a happy life. Thi
