Myself (matured version)

I'm a REALIST, so I'm harsh. I see the world as it is, so I'm difficult. In my personal life I don't butter people up, so I don't flicker my eyelashes to get things done. I'm no doll, so I'm not slim or pretty. Men hardly like me, so they keep away from me. Women rely on me & are compassionate towards me. I care so much that I will put my life on the line for love, but I'm a no-nonsense person & a difficult customer in relationships. I'll empathize with a truthful murderer or adulterer but not tolerate false facades. I don't even deal with situations so low, but just shut myself up from them. Some have condemned me for not being 'modern', while some envy me for being 'different'. Some say I'm obstinate and arrogant, some think I'm too good for this world. My dreams are not big, rather I hardly dream! I'm unbelievably slow when it comes to relationships. I don't take people to my heart to such an extent, that only a handful have made it to there in my whole life! Being single is my ideal lifestyle & I just can't imagine myself as a submissive wife & committed mother. I don't know whether anyone knows the real me, but those who don't know me at all are sometimes judgmental about me. I play so many roles day in day out, but the real me is intact. I'm not perfect, I have to improve myself a lot. I'm nothing but human so I hurt, I bleed, I cry, I get angry, I shout. Anyone can accept me, love me, cherish me, reject me, blame me or attack me. But no force in this world cannot lure me or cause me fall, because I've tasted the best and survived the worst in life. I've fallen, I've stood up. I will fall again, but I will definitely stand up again!

True love brings out the best in you

I suddenly found a test to identify true love -
Simply - "True love is the feeling that brings out the best in you"
as long as that love is in existence (Not only at the beginning but throughout)!
When you're feeling true love: -
You feel like dressing up and you'd look your prettiest,
you're energetic and don't get tired,
you walk with your head high,
you're eternally smiling for no reason,
your heart is full of love & compassion that even your boss cannot annoy you!
If you're a creator, true love should make you come up with the best piece,
If you're a house wife, true love should make you spend each day most effectively,
If you work in an office, true love should make you be the most productive...
All these because
You have an emotional backing to lift you up,
you're happy when you're feeling true love,
you hum to yourself, you sing, you dance around when nobody's looking,
and you're not crying or sighing or walking as if the whole world is on your shoulders...
you don't need to be anxious as to what will the next blow be,
True love is not supposed to weigh you down...
You must be feeling this kind of love
because of your parents, children, spouse, lover, friends, colleagues, neighbours
or simply because of pleasant weather,
If you do, you're lucky!

Cherish that feeling because no money can buy it.
