Well balance is balance. There is no other word to describe it then itself. But why is it important and why should we have this in our life? What is the importance of it in our life? Do we need balance only to keep track of our money or is there something more to it? How do we manage our wishes and wants?

Some people don’t even acknowledge its existence or it’s importance in life but from where I stand I think after perspective, balance is the most needed asset in life. If you really think about it where would you be if there is no balance in life. How would you stop doing something or how would you know what is in excess or is less? I am not talking about money but the very base of our life EMOTIONS. If we can balance out our emotions then we can have a balanced life. I know it sounds dull or maybe even structured but hear me out. Emotions run us, everything we do or say or see is based on how we are feeling and if we can balance our love, hate, anger, sadness, fear, happiness, shame, admiration, grief, pride, pain then life becomes a beautiful place to live. Just imagine having enough control over our emotions that it doesn’t become a bane but a boon instead. 

Balance is needed in every step of life. We don’t only need it for money or for house-work life but we also need it for the peace of mind. There are some people who miss work-life balance as well. They are either working too much and not giving time to themselves or not working at all and are just doing nothing. Both scenarios are wrong. We need to work, have goals in our life and work towards them but we also need to realize that work is not the only thing in our life. We need time for ourselves. We need to relax, rejuvenate, renew, refresh and restore. Similarly, if we do not work at all then what are we doing with our life. So we need to have a balance and enjoy every aspect of life.  Doing something in excess or doing nothing at all makes life tedious. We need to have balance towards everything. We need to balance our personality, expectations of parents, siblings, even our eating habits, our behavior towards everyone, our money and our emotions. There is so much more which needs balancing but these are the things I could come up with for the moment. If we don’t balance things out then life gets out of hand and life is already hard to live. The question is how we balance everything out because if we are doing the one thing then the other gets behind. Well that’s the beauty of life that you can make up for the lost things if you try.

Now I didn’t have a perfect childhood. There are so many things which were missing from it so now whenever I have a chance I do the things I always wanted to do even if they are childlike. It’s not that I become a child but just do the things I couldn’t do before or afford. I bathe in the rain because if I get sick I can afford medication without having to worry about money. I couldn’t afford fancy pencil boxes so now when I see one I buy one. I am trying to balance it out. I get told that it is stupid and utterly childish to do these things but my answer to them is I can do it and I will do it. Me dancing in the rain, eating candies, buying stickers and pencil boxes doesn’t hurt anyone and these things give me happiness so why shouldn’t I do what I can do to make myself happy and balance out the things I missed back then.

So if you have missed things in your life, try to do them in present and don’t think what people will think. If you are too good of a person then you are you not giving someone to talk about something, so do your part and let them talk about you from time to time. I wanted to get a tattoo since I was 16 but I always thought what will people say and of course there was lack of money too. I never got a tattoo and now I have 3 and I’m thinking about the 5^th one as the 4^th one is already has been decided. I cannot tell you how happy it makes me every time I see the tattoos. It was my wish which got completed later in life but I am satisfied with the fact that I have friggin tattoos. I have always wished for a doll playhouse as I watched it in Television and in shops and I would always think how would it be like to play with it so now I am going to buy a big playhouse and I guess I’ll play with it. If I’m not gonna play with it I’ll just keep it and I’ll look at it and be happy about the fact that I have it.

You need a little bit of courage and wish to balance because life will never be fair, you have to make it fair and in the same way so many things will get left behind in the race of life but you just need to remember these things and complete them whenever you have time because if you won’t balance things out you will have regret that I should have done this or that in your old age. Old age should be spent with peace and not in regret. So whatever it is which you could not do, see or buy because the time and situations were not right make them right in the present and live your life like you want to. It is hard but believe me it is better than the regret. I have always wanted to dye my hair and soon I will be doing that too so just like me you can live and do the things you want to and then be happy about the fact that at least you got a chance to do these things and you have no regrets.

So don’t get bound by the society’s rule or your own emotions. I know it’s much easier said than done, especially when we have to live with our emotions and live within the society. It’s hard and I get that because when I’m trying to do things I think of what will people say and what will they think of me? What will they talk about and things like these but the point is that it’s my life and me getting a tattoo or a hair dye isn’t hurting someone. It is not doing anyone any harm but it’s just to make myself happy. I should be allowed to live my life the way I want to as long as I’m not hurting anyone and I’m not doing anything appalling. It should be fine so try to have the courage, to have the resolve and just live your life so that you can have a peaceful and meaningful old age without having regrets. I mean it’s not that you won’t have any kind of regret but still take out the pieces you still can and balance out your wishes and wants.
