Turning Over

Everyone has their own positive and negative points.This is the one thing that no one can ever deny.But people work on both sides, they are hard at work at enhancing theirpositive points and at chipping away at their negative ones. I also was not an exception, and over the years, many people have pointed out mytraits, negative ones, almost always. And I, for my part did not ever care two hoots about them. I was who I am and never did try to change anything for anybody, even for myself. You think that a person who was like this would not change, or at least, would not change just like that.
I never thought i needed to change anything about myself. That is how i had always been, and i didn't quite see any reason to be otherwise. But a few days back, i met a good friend of mine after a long time. We exchanged the usual pleasantries and then got talking about ourselves and our friends. Out of the blue, she mentioned something that got my attention. She just mentioned it off-handedly, but all the same it got me thinking.
So I took a break of a week from everything - job, friends, family. I locked myself up in my room and did nothing but think. I ventured out of the room only to eat and drink water. At the end of the week, I had made some discoveries of myself. Some discoveries that, i should say were quite surprising. Anyway, I am happy that i took this break to know myself, to know some traits of myself that I didn't know they existed. I am all the more relieved now, cause' I now know my purpose in life. I had made a solemn promise to myself and I would stick to it at all costs. Thank you.

yours truly,
