Your Way

Me and my brother are huge fans of F.R.I.E.N.D.S sitcom. We have watched it innumerable times. And we still love to watch it every single day. Today my brother had shared a pic which says All the three main female characters had babies in an unconventional way. Phoebe was a surrogate mother for her brother's babies, Rachel was a single mother and Monica adopted babies as she was unable to conceive. I actually never thought about it. I was like wowww!!!. I have watched this serial so many times but, not even once, the thought of their motherhood being unconventional crossed my mind. It felt so natural and normal and at the same time heart warming.

I know one of our family friend's relative who has married a widower who has a son from previous marriage. And the interesting part is, the kid loves his step grand parents(step-mom's parents) more than his own grand parents. he spends more time with his step grandparents and he is so much attached to his step mom.

The thing I learnt from this is,when we embrace something, it becomes natural and beautiful. Things are as strange and awkward as we make it. I have known people who have not lived up to "society's standards". I know people who have never been married, people who got divorced, people who are in live in relationship, people who adopted kids, people who don't have kids. I see one common thing amongst all of them, their willingness to lead a normal life. All of us want to lead a normal life. everyone has their choice and right to lead the life they want. If society points a finger at you, let them. They do that only because they are not happy in their "Conventional, Normal" life.

Be happy in your own way, no one needs to understand your ways..If you are at peace, the world has to find a way to stay quiet...
