There was a girl who had carried many dreams in her heart since childhood. She always believed that one day, when she grew up, she would finally turn those dreams into reality.
As a child, she wanted to become a doctor, someone who could heal people and make her parents proud.
But people around her said,
“Be practical, become an engineer.”
She listened.
Later, when she discovered social media, she found something she truly loved.
Night after night, she edited videos, created reels, and slowly built an audience.
Thousands of people started following her journey.
For the first time, she felt like she was finally living her own dream.
But voices around her grew louder again.
“Stop this.”
“Just do a normal job.”
“Think about marriage.”
Six months of passion, late nights, and hard work slowly faded under the weight of society’s expectations.
One evening, she looked at her screen, the same place where her dreams once lived, and quietly wondered:
When will I finally get to live the life I choose?
And somewhere deep inside, a small voice whispered
Maybe one day.
She inspired many people. With her simplicity, she won countless hearts, and people gave her love wholeheartedly.
But perhaps her own people could never truly understand her.
Again and again she said,
“Just let me live my life.”
But the voices of family, relatives and society had grown so loud that her voice slowly disappeared in front of them.
In the end, she surrendered to their expectations.
The dream is still alive in her heart, but she is suffocating quietly within herself.
Maybe she no longer believes she can truly live the life she wanted.
Yet somewhere deep in her heart, a small hope still remains —
Perhaps she is still searching for someone who will truly understand her…
someone who will give wings to her dreams.
My only prayer to Bholenath is that return her lost happiness, give her a new hope to live, and give wings to her dreams.
The hardest battle in the world is when you have to fight your own people for your own dreams.
