I Don’t Want to Be a Tag/Label; I Want to Be an Experience & So Should You

We all are just a collection of tags and labels that we have either willingly imposed on ourselves or that the world threw at us.

The tags of a good or bad person. Sad or happy. Poor or rich. Loving or hateful. Failure or successful. Writer or Lawyer. Hindu or Christian. American or German. Girl or boy. Beautiful or Ugly. Smart or dumb. Supportive or toxic. And the list of such fancy tags wouldn’t come to end until the day you die.

And death reminds me of birth.

When you and I were first born, we were free from all the worldly tags. For us, nothing was good or bad. We were just there in the moment. Perhaps, that is the reason why people love babies so much.

Because when you are with a baby, the baby doesn’t judge you based on the black-and-white specific tags. The baby doesn’t say ‘Oh this girl is brown. I wish a young white tall lady was carrying me’

The baby doesn’t say ‘I don’t want to be around this dumb person who cannot score good grades or I will be like him’

The baby doesn’t judge you on the basis of your past mistakes, future endeavors, color, religion, or social status. The baby is just a cute little creature looking right into your eyes with curiosity.
