Being Myself

It was a very special occassion for me.I had all the distinguished people in my life.We exchanged thought,opinion and at times went even beyond. When the end came, every single person gave me a word to remember.There was one particular person who asked me to be myself.An another one wanted me to remain the same and not to change.To add more chaos, one more adviced me to believe in myself.I was grateful for every syllable they uttered.But i could never conceive what they actually signified.

I have always believed that one has to learn from every happening in life.Once learnt, it imbibes in you.Thus a change has been brought about in you, meaning that you have not remained the same yourself.Many a time I have observed that I have stayed myself by not being myself.So what are they deluding to me???

That night, on hearing all these, my friend reckoned that i have turned 'arrogant'.She was of the conviction that if I had my own idea of things, then i should have never bothered to ask for a remembrance.

For some reason i concealed from her, how much all these people have meant to me,in how many ways they have influenced my life, how much i have valued their words and that i was only wondering on the context and perpective they have wielded them for me.
