Its been one month since my last blog. Not because I have been distracted or lazy. But I faced a backlash. Yes, you heard it right, my happiness project came under scrutiny and criticism and I was confronted and judged on every word written.
Believe it or not, this blog is not connected to any single person or group of persons. I was shocked and horrified to think that people have been reading it and making analogies to themselves. Its not about you. Its based on observations of my life and those around me. Again, its not about you.
So I made a firm decision to end my blog, as it was causing my pain and unhappiness, and hence my silence. However, it was only after talking to a dear person that I changed my mind. I was asked what happened to my blog, and I described the backlash, then I started to say why it is I got the backlash. And as the words left my mouth, I realised I could not end the blog.
Why would anyone be so upset about my happiness project? Is it really because they think its all about them? Or is it a general resentment to my happiness project? And that's when it hit me, its the actual project? Perhaps these individuals are unhappy? They are unable to change their lives? Or to take control of their happiness or destiny? Or maybe that is what they perceive, and that is why the backlash. Your happiness and your lives are in your hands, there is no such thing as a doomed situation. Don't critise my quest for happiness, you too can do the same.
So the blog is back on. Frankly my advise is this: if you don't like what I write, don't click on the link

Good on you Zahra! Some people need to get a life and stop scrutinising others all the time! X
