My Bed of Roses and thorns

i named my blog as such cos that is what my life has been so far. a simple bed of roses and thorns. ive felt the silky brush of the rose petals soothing me and ive also felt the pain of the thorns pricking and making me bleed. however, i must say i got a good equal share of both.

this is life as i understand it. the good and the bad will take their turns. never fail to bathe in the joy of the good. never fail to face up to and learn from the bad. and whatever i do or dont, i never fail to laugh at myself! haha ive found it to be the best way to keep the spirits up in any situation!

see why the thorn prick u.! if its for good then be blessed if not is when u need to do something about it. don't accept life the way it comes to us. lead ur life rather than life leading u.! ;)

P.S. i kno i'm no good to advise u. but just a thought!

i did say face up to the bad. that doesnt mean i lay back and let it happen. some things have to be fought. yet again some things have to be accepted. prob comes when u cant identify which has to be fought and which has to be accepted. then u end up fighting that which has to be accpeted and accepting that which has to be fought. which is when life gets all screwd up and shitty lol. (hope u accept my comment and dont fight it :P)

Srinivasan said...

lol..! since in ur last lines of comments u invariably tried to tell me not to fight, i'm left with no choice but to stay up with ur thought.! but me personally wud prefer makin a life rather than sit n fight the odds.. n accept the good. ur right wen u say its diff to judge the right versus wrong.! but this will all happen only wen ur accept to learn rather than pretend knowing it n not welcoming other's thoughts.not necessary u take all others say. but listen to them n think. u got a good unspoilt brain unlike others.! ;) SO THINK THINK.! :P

how do you make ur life? how much of it is in our hands? it comes to our hands made and ready. then we decide how to handle it. thats when we have power.

and yes learning is important but not at the cost of things more important to me in life. im ever willing to learn as long as what i learn doesnt make me loose what i hold dear to me.

makin life is something that shud be in u.there is no answer to how to make life. it is best answered when u can differentiate between ur likes and other's likes being ur first priority.! life is not made to use. its something the person wants it that way n achieves it.!*THINK* :)

its u who is facing the future life of urs n not any damn person on earth.! so u need to make a life best to u.living a life of ones own choice is all in our hands.! so basically u got life in ur hand.

not necessary u need to loose the dear ones to live ur life. if they r so dear then they will not come n ur way unless there is a loop hole girl.!

i agree with srini..if they r really dear to you, they wont stand in ur way..they wld trust your judgement..i think letting someone life their life their way is the best thing anyone can do. living life on ur own terms is difficult it requires a lot of maturity and responsibility(i knw u have some atleast :p) and living on your own terms might hurt others..but atleast you wont have any regret that you didnt let others lead your life..whch i believe and knw is much much worse than living on your own terms..

Whether a person lives their life their own way or not depends on one's priorities in life. according to my priorities, i am living life the way i want to.

there r two kinds of freedom. one is freedom to do what u want. another is the freedom to stop urself from impulsively doing smth u shouldnt do. the kind of freedom i have is the second. and its the most valuable asset of my life.

Srinivasan said...

precisely wat u said was relevant.! UR priority shud decide ur life n not others likes being ur first prority. which is wat tried mentioning the previous post.

Freedom seems to be a big word to u i guess.! I feel thats not the case in ur side. freedom we all need but there isn't types of freedom as u mentioned. freedom of doin wat u want will also include freedom to refuse wat u shudn't be doin or don't like.!

If u got the freedom to refuse wat u shudn't be doin u shud also acquire freedom to do wat u want, which is not happening.! :)

Nandhini said...

yes so my priority in life is to make certain ppl happy. which is what i am doing. and hence i am living life the way i want.

and yes these two types of freedom r different. once u have experienced the freedom to do whatever u want, u will find it difficult to stop urself from doing smth that u want to do but shouldn do.

and when u experience the freedom to stop urself from doing smth u shouldn do, u will become so strong and resistant to anything in life. and i enjoy this strength that i have.

Srinivasan said...

freedom is something that u shud be given and made best use of. I'm afraid u've been denied that freedom. hence u r tryin to compromise urself wit the so called usual move around as freedom.

Ur priority in life seems to be makin others happy which is good! but for the cost of ur OWN! hmmmm. need to think on it girl!

y is that u livin a life so restrictive.? as in u want something but shudn't be doin.! i really don't get the idea behind it. Since u been speakin about freedom u shud be sayin u will what u want to n not do wat u don't want.! thats it. not something that u want to but can't!

have minimal choices.! don't make ur life so complicated.!

P.S. places i said can't actually means shudn't.!
