Vidya Murlidhar’s article The
search within my soul was my
favourite in the January 2018
issue of Life Positive. As a
21-year-old slowly progressing
towards adulthood, I often
envision a future with huge
success, along with a blissful
domestic life, devoid of
children. But I am also anxious
about how either of these
choices will come across to the
society. Will I be scorned for my
success-chasing attitude and
my apathy for a quintessential
family? Vidya’s article made me
understand that society will
always have an opinion on my
life choices, based on unfair
and apathetic comparisons. So
what does it matter as long as
I decide on that which gives me
happiness? Like Vidya, I now
aim to find happiness through
decisions that only cater to
my own perspective and to
the people I truly care about.

Kudos to Life Positive magazine
for talking about child
sexual abuse in its January
2018 issue. I could relate
to Mahalakshmi Rajgopal’s
article Safeguard your child,
as something similar happened
to me as well. Consequently, on
growing up, I was diagnosed
with Borderline Personality
Disorder. Sadly, our country
has a culture of hushing things
up as we prioritise protecting
our reputation over anything
else. Children are mostly
considered as investments
by the parents rather than
individuals; aren’t allowed to
make their own choices; and
are forced to obey elders under
the pretext of respect. The only
solution: Indian parents mellow
down their authoritarian
approach and choose to be
friends with their children. The
predators will be powerless
in front of supportive parents.

My guide
The December 2017 issue
of Life Positive magazine
was terrific. I could relate to
Mahalakshmi Rajgopal’s article
Healing the heart, having
gone through a heartbreak
previously. I was in depression
and had no idea how to get out
of it. Thanks to Mahalakshmi’s
writing, this new year I resolve
to practice pranic healing on a
regular basis to overcome my
painful past. I convey my warm
regards to Life Positive for
catering to each and every age
group, and being a guide for a
positive life. For me, this issue
is the best one so far.
