'I have become my own version of an optimist. If I can't make it through one door, I'll go through another door...or I'll make another door. Something terrific will come no matter how dark the present.'-Rabindrath Tagore

Misguided Ghosts

I am this person who sings along to almost every rock song on the radio,remembers every book I read and spends most of my free time watching tv. It is no surprise, therefore that my motivation and inspiration comes from music,books( non-academic,of course) and generally, the pop culture.

And so yesterday while creating my 'dance-my-way-thin' playlist for my morning work out, I accidentally added Misguided Ghosts by Paramore to the playlist. I am saying accidentally because this song is not one you can actually dance to. Luckily, it was the last song on the list and by the time it was playing I was already tired. Which is to say that I got to really listen to the lyrics and I was like,this is the soundtrack to what I have been going through lately.
This song is about knowing our idiosyncrasies and accepting them. Its about getting out of our comfort zone and embracing the unknown. And realizing that we don't need to follow any path,we should create our own paths instead.

All I am trying to say is,it is okay to be different,it is okay to feel like you do not belong, because you are a misguided ghost and we are not meant to be the same. So love life. Be you and don't apologise for being anyone but you. You are uniquely talented and you should never try being any one but you. And though I have always known this to be true,I can't deny that sometimes I do feel like there is something wrong with some of my quirky habits. Misguided Ghosts confirms that its actually cool to embrace these quirky habits.

'It is better to live your own destiny imperfectly than to live an imitation of somebody else with perfection'-The Bhagavad Gita
