Here I sit barely 100 min left in my teenage. I plan to use it in the best possible way, I can and sit down to write this…(I seriously doubt my decision though!)
Soon would end my cheerful and fun filled run as a teenager… and so would the infamous resolution I made some six months back! (Which unfortunately was never “close” to its completion)
I wd no more enjoy the status of being a “kid”… edging out of troubles and responsibilities! Though I am yet to use a “shaving cream” to shave my non existent beard I would suddenly be called a “young man”. I fear I wd just double up the already sky kissing expectations people have from me… jus coz I m turning twenty!
One thing though, I would no more be written off in every damn matter saying I am jus a kid! Coz I wd be twenty, and have (at least) a say in anything and everything.
I guess its a warning bell… saying I must get serious with life! If it is, I sure hate to hear its crystal clear ringing in my ear!
Anyways..this Dec 3 I wont just be completing another year, But another decade! A decade filled with struggle, fear, anxiety, achievements, let downs, happiness, sadness and loads of unfulfilled expectations which would be carried on to the next!
Sometimes I feel be I didn’t do complete justice to my teenage, didn’t make use of it all that well, But on second thought I sure did better than many others!!!!
