Free Will

I love the concept of free Will. Sometimes I realize that, I actually have free will. Like I can literally decide to bake a brownie at 3am and nobody can arrest me.

Everyone have free will. You can do whatever you want to BUT I don’t think so most people realize this often. We are literally stuck in unwritten rules and patterns. Society says that ‘ you are supposed to do it’. Ahan but why?

You probably have heard them in your life ( if you don’t live on Mars).They sound like:

• You should act mature.

*You have to fit in.

*Focus on 1 thing.

• Why are you being attention seeker.

• It is cringe.

8 Be in Limit.

….and the list goes on.

Who made these rules. Why are we supposed to do this or that. Why is our life full of should-be’s. We are supposed to live it our way.

If you want to break the pattern,which you should. Let’s start be some easy and fun actions.

So here is my list of mini side-quests you can do just because… well, you can.

• Bake a brownie even if your cooking skills are basically a threat to humanity.

• Compliment someone randomly.

• Record a short movie. Maybe don’t post it yet.

• Wear something new that feels ‘not me’ just to see what ‘me’ even means.

*Sit outside with chai for no reason except “meri marzi.” (My wish)

• Rearrange your room at 2am because you suddenly think you’re an interior designer.

• Write a letter to your future self.

• Try coffee with the recommendation of person behind you.

• Participate in a campaign or volunteer somewhere.

• Count people wearing yellow shirts on your way to work.

• Act like a sales person when folding your clothes.

Remember Free will isn’t deep or complicated. It’s just remembering that I can choose tiny weird things that make life feel fun again.

Next thing you can do is keep a pocket size diary with you. So you can:

• List each side quest you did.

*Write any fun idea you got ( probably while doing your assignment)

• Write your favorite lyrics of your favorite song.

• Write the side info you got ( like number of red cars on road or people wearing yellow shirts)

Trust me. It will add a pinch of fun in your everyday-boring life. And you are supposed to have fun.

They are not big level changes. You do have free will in your life’s serious aspects like your career or the person you marry. But still when you do things out of your normal routine, you’ll feels more independent.

Get out of your comfort zone and start to get control over your own life. Do what you want to not what the world thinks you are supposed to. Trust me you’ll feel like a Waving Flag. Get out the loop, and enjoy your life.

And always remember to “ Break the pattern before the pattern breaks you”.
