Silence..!

‘Why me?’ is the question almost each and every person asks when something goes wrong with them or things does not go the way they thought it would. I know that most of the people we know keep lecturing about the fact that their life is much worse than the others as they see their lives in pain and the others in a different perspective even if the person they’re talking to is having the exact same problem. Nobody has a “perfect” life, to be honest I’ve seen people who have everything but still there is not even a single sign of happiness in their life. A person who does not get ‘materials’ which they ask for though they get infinite amount of love from family and friends says that the person who gets everything they ask for which are just materials. The first person does not see that the other person is really not happy from the inside as they get what they ask for but they never get what they need.  We keep weighing and comparing ourselves to others and say they get ...

Every-time a person who looks at my hand the first thing they say is 'are you mad?' By now I've become immune to not take it as an insult or disturbing my mind more. But there was a time when I'd end up cutting myself again just because of the words used to "describe how I am", according to them that is. A couple of weeks back we started an organization within ourselves. Our first project was in a hearing-impaired school, where a young lad glimpsed at my hand and started asking as "what happend to my hand?" for a second I didn't know what to answer him, and then another young kid who started sign-ing at him and asking him not to ask anything as he knew answering for that would make me feel un-comfortable. This was the first time in my life a person did not judge me or commented without knowing about the reason behind those cuts. For a second I felt as if some people do understand if not everyone but atleast someone. I never really understood...

I have no clue why I am taking up this particular topic to talk about, but what am I gonna lose? So, here's what I want to say.. Anyone and everyone would have come across people, who have the habit of self harming by cutting their wrist, chopping off their hair and more. When a person gets a glance of such a person the first think they say is 'Are you mad'? or 'You're a big time loser'. When a person has gone through the pain of having to harm themselves, they would not have done it for some sort of joy, there will always be a reason behind it. So, why not talk to them and find out why they do so and what might make them not do such a thing again. Instead, why do we just pop  questions which taunt them and make them feel like they're just too stupid to do so. Self-harming is not a thing a person does to get attention from someone or just for fun! Why not just make them feel like they're no different from anyone else? Why not make them feel like ...
