A Victim to Circumstance🌃

 Our actions define the shape of our future. But what if we're compelled to act in a certain way due to circumstances? 

Growing up in an orthodox community, I learnt the value of words uttered to be kept, taught to behave in a certain way, and act in a manner that does not harm anybody in any aspect. Yes, I diligently took up my responsibility, keeping mind what I was imbibed with, and walk the path of righteousness. However, as time lapsed and roles began to shift, I fell into a victim to circumstances. 

I knew I had to keep my word as a responsible adult. I knew I had to gather strength and keep performing my duties in whichever role I was assigned with. Yet, as "none can skip the test of time", I couldn't skip it either. Leniency in taking right decisions, at the right time, eventually, led to a dilemma. Keeping my word as what I was instructed as a child, or taking a stand for myself, led to taking certain decisions which never worked in my favour. And as a result I fell and became a victim of circumstances.
