born in a culture where you are not suppose to show emotions was tough! iam naga and i am pround to be. childhood was rough so i have so many suppressed feelings inside me which makes me insecure and inferior to others in many ways. my world was dark. reality seems so harsh to me. sometimes when i tried to speak my feelings to my friend, they would just laugh off saying that iam just plain sissy. the world in general has created such an ideology that men are not suppose to cry. they are not suppose to show emotions! which i find all too sick. last year in december, my sister and her husband came to nagaland for the holidays. during those short time, i had really good talks with my bro-in-law. he makes me understands that the world can be harsh...i just pour out my emotions to him and suprisingly i felt so relieved. it is like as if a load has been lifted off my shoulder. my thoughts seems more clear now..i talk to some of friends and i realise thst they has the same problem as a naga. i tried to talk to them,. i told them its ok to cry as a man. i came to realise that a counselling center is very much needed here in my country. i have seen it and i cant ignore it. i got to do something about this. believe me, emotional pain hurts more than physical pain. right now my main aim is to take up psychology after i graduated from highschool. try to get a scholarship at eastern unversity and probably find a sponsorship and become a psychiatrist. until then i will try to raise money to open up a small counselling center here in kohima nagaland. i hope and pray that people will support me and encourage me to fulfill my purpose. iam only 17years old and i know that many people will trid to laugh me off but i pray to GOD that i will be strong enough to turn the critics into useful purposes.
