Gosh! Thirty three…... years are just passing by. Time flies and getting a bit older it seems…
Thirty three…. It can’t be described as some extravagant or pivotal birthday. You won’t find glittery or charismatic celebrations displaying those numbers in bold, shiny letters. My EMI payment isn’t going to decrease, and I’m not suddenly gaining access to nightlife locations with a perfect family life, but for some reason, it feels like a metamorphosis which leads to a new chapter in my life. Things have been beautiful and at times really jerky as I meander through the different phases of life. Life has showed me both ups and downs and at times horrible times but I have managed to sail through the rough tides. From popularity of school and college life to character assassinations by trusted folks to professional solidarity to finding the right person (Finally, Sigh…) to holding Gublet (My new born baby)for the first time in my arms, have observed and experienced closely and minutely all the emotions that has been thrown at me at.
There are certain experiences which I think, I have learnt down the line
1. Trust your instincts, it really helps.
2. Things will always happen when it’s bad timing, so never cry over spilt milk and continue your journey.
3. You can still achieve your goals if you act on time.
4. Judging people by the decisions they make won’t help your cause as you haven’t lived their life. Everyone has their on way to lead life.
5. Be kind to everyone. You never know where or when they will show up in your life again.
6. Realize and appreciate when you are part of something special. Nothing will last forever. Just live the moment and appreciate it.
7. Everything can change in an instant. Things or relations can change without you ever thinking of it in the wildest of dreams.
8. Starting something new and recovering once you are cornered is the only choice you really have.
9. It is very important to realize that there isn’t always something better out there. A small mistake and you can really screw up what you already have.
10. Follow people who encourage your dreams and goals. Find a mentor and gain positivity from every nook and corner
11. It is really important to tell people today how you feel about them. They might not be here tomorrow.
12. Always engage yourself in things that make you happy, even if they don’t make sense.
13. Always be kind to yourself. You are your own worst enemy.
14. Talk to self and give positive vibes and despise those negative thoughts.
15. Keep changing your goals as you grow.
16. Try to set goals that scare you. You will really be surprised at what you can achieve.
17. Don’t worry about material gains. Things can be replaced. People cannot.
18. When you actually do nothing, Its OK, you can actually reflect and introspect.
19. Introspection is absolutely necessary.
20. It is never too late to tell someone “thank you.”
21. You can’t fix many things that fall your way. Death is not one of them.
22. Positive thinking can go a long way.
23. Find people who will stand in your corner and fight for you. They are essential to your well-being.
24. You actually don’t look fat in photographs. Ten years from now, you’ll think you looked great.
25. Be a good listener when they open up to you. It’s all because of some reason.
26. At times when you feel lost, look to the past to remember who you are.
27. Fill your space with photographs of happy times. Surroundings can make a difference.
28. Travel, explore, learn and experience the World, there is nothing like it.
29. Take risks. It’s the only way to answer the “what if’s”.
30. Remember that your past doesn’t predict your future.
31. Make sure the people in your life know that you love them.
32. Appreciate just how far you’ve come and look to achieve further. IN THE MSP OF LIFE…THERE IS NO LEAD OR LAG BUT YOU HAVE TO AVERT THE CRITICAL PATH.
33. Truly enjoy this moment. You are not guaranteed another one.
Anyways, enough of lectures Life is short, live it to the fullest….
The only grievance I have as of now……..
“I Am getting Old!!”
But, the Child in Me still resides……
