Growing up is Optional
So I had wonderful birthday and grew an year older above 30, this 19th April. Though age is increasing in number am I growing up, or do I even want to grow up?
As a child growing up in Bhopal, I loved waving at airplanes! I thought they were amazing things that would drop down fun presents if I waved at them …. as I grew up, I realized what airplanes really were and how they operated. Now, I see a hundred of airplanes per day and never once think about stopping to wave at it! I have been thinking that as we get older we have to start finding and seeking out the things that might intrigue us! When we were kids these just came naturally! As we get older nothing comes off naturally anymore! The need to HAVE to have an explanation for everything ruins us!
My close friends know I am silly and childish at times. They sometime appreciate it but at times ask me to seriously act my age.Though it is important to be worldly wise, it is also important to choose crazy at times. I cannot thank my innate childlike optimism, the will to be free and embrace happiness and the faith to receive blessings and belief in miracle enough... If not for these crazy stupid ideas..i would have long lost myself into the dungeons of depression or hopelessness when bad times crossed me.
Anyway, here's to big giggle and laughter and huge dream and faith and this belief that this year is going to be a very wonderful, milestone year of my life. Amen. Inshallah. So be it!!
And I offer deeply felt gratitude to my Angels, this universe and dozens of Gods I believe in, for making my life so beautiful, for filling it with people who love me truly and cherish me and for giving me the choicest of blessings in spirit and form.
A very special thank you to that one person, who gives my face a glow, my eyes a mischievous sparkle and my lips a fabulous smile. Thank you baby.. My life is complete (ly crazy,happy,funny,exhilarating and naughty) because of you.
Yipeee!!!
Till my next birthday..
