Welcome To The Toxic World

By Lakshmi Tanmaya K

Flowers are so beautiful that once it is plucked out, it will lose its nature. The rights for most of the girls are being taken away by the society, starting with the family, to her husband. How cool is it when she is made to know what her strengths are and then taking the same away from her? Family doesn’t want to encourage that in the fear of losing to a girl?

When girls love to travel, what stops the family to not let her? Comes a question that the family’s pride is being lost. As in how does the pride of the family depends on the girls wish to travel? She hides a lot of her opinions just because she is hesitant to tell what she actually feels. There are millions in the world to judge her for no sin she makes. She trusts her family trusts her. She goes to the family for any desire she wish to make. She expects for a yes. But rather, its gaslights to another level. She tells her boyfriend that she wishes to travel. Her boyfriend gets insecure about her traveling and accuses her that she is cheating on him. The sequence goes like, she actually wants to travel initially that she wishes to tell her family and boyfriend first so that they approve instantly. But rather she becomes hesitant to tell them and takes the decision to book tickets. Since this is a toxic world for her, the thought process works only that much that she takes the bold decision to book tickets. Now she gives the room for her people to lose trust on her and judging that she is being faulty enough.

If you think the above said is the girl’s mistake, then I am sure there is a toxicity being surrounded. I wonder how it feels to live in a nontoxic world because she need not have to be hesitant in the first place and things happen just like that. She only expects her family and husband to trust her, but rather not and apparently the third person would trust her she is right. Why the same does not happen when being with the family or her husband. What is the insecurity that is costing them to blame her? Think…

In the toxic world, girls are being judged if she travels, if she talks to a guy, if she even replies back to her friend’s comment on her post. Why should a girl be cautious about her own desires? Why should she be hesitant to tell it out? Just because the family and husband mean the world for her, she gets to be hesitant with them and chooses to live a path that avoids both. She is not meant to be born to get judged for nothing. When you read through this, you could think find this being silly. But everyday girls are being judged for her actions which the society doesn’t want to see.

I wish for a world when the girls know what their strengths are, especially when her family and guy empower her and help her realize them. A world where she is not hesitant to tell what she likes to do. A world where she feels she is not afraid of what others think. It does not take an effort for the girl to just be straight and not hesitant about her rights, the thing that saddens her being judged that halts all her desire.

Girls are harmless but are harmed.

They are stronger but are made weak.

They have desires, but are shattered.

They can be happy but are snubbed.

They love to be home in Pyjamas, also they love to travel to Bahamas.

They do not live for the society but for her family. If her family doesn’t understand, then where should she be?
