| Don’t be in Pressure to have Fun | | | Samriddhi Sharma
Hey!! What plans for New Year?? Aren’t you going out? . Whether it is Birthday New Year’s Eve, holidays in general or a simple Saturday night, we have all had somewhere felt the pressure to have fun,, forget worries and problems and just let ourselves loose by partying. It has recently dawned on me how bizarre it is that a term as vague and broad as fun would be strictly and exclusively defined by very specific activities, such as hanging out in bars and clubs. Should you ever opt for doing something different, such as read a book or play board games, you would most certainly run the risk of being labelled as boring, miserable and generally “not fun”., or the most terrifying being aged, Should this one incident develop into a pattern of behaviour, that does not abide by the sacred and inviolable guidelines of how to have fun, then the situation might even be considered alarming and lead to people asking you if everything is alright in your life in general, so that they can find and eradicate the root of all evil. As far as going out or having fun according to the social norms is concerned, the elements of prestige and labelling have resulted in the absolute disregard of our personal needs. Looking at the bigger picture, it is not hard to realize that given the circumstances and the various phases in our lives, our needs vary along with the tools that satisfy them. Refusing to recognize that and to listen to our inner voice as well as abiding by what is regarded as acceptable instead; all that we end up with is being miserable, frustrated and dissatisfied. Imagine the effect this could have on our mental over a long period of time. This does not apply only to our social life, but also to the professional one as well.
Nobody knows ourselves better than we do. Respecting our true wishes unfiltered through what is considered as cool and fun in our surroundings is bound to serve us only beneficially. So don’t be afraid or ashamed to construct your own, personalized concept of what fun means and fill it with anything that gives you joy and pleasure, no matter if it is dancing until your feet cannot take it anymore or staring at the mesmerizing white of the ceiling or discussing poetry with a cup of tea in your hand. It is way more than perfectly fine. You don’t need to cave to the pressure to be everything . you can take out time and discover things at your own pace as you start on this life journey. If hitting every night club you can every weekend is your speed great. If staying at home and relaxing with Netflix or meeting up with grant parents this is also good , So just be good in this coming New Year 2020.
