Seems just 2011 was born but now its gone. I’m standing in the first day of my twenty two with lot of hopes, lot of dreams and an old heartache. I’m beginning this new year with the same engulf I had in the previous years. But yes, now I wanna make it alright. I can’t pinpoint a minute or even a second where I lost myself. It happened suddenly yet slowly.
I’m being forced to fulfill this role as a teacher, that I’m still not sure to believe in. Things were so easy in the beginning. I had a lot of dreams. I’m a good dreamer in fact. When I was in 9th std I dreamt of being a doctor. I tried ,tried and tried. But couldn’t make it. When I completed my undergraduate dreamt of being a HR. Got the seats in B schools but couldn’t step in cos of parents. I finally ended up in teaching profession. But now as I stay here I wanna fly. An other dream in fact.
I had plenty of friends before or atleast four of them gave me strength. Family was in good friends with me. Life was full of enthusiasm. My heart was tender and was able to accept things in their own way. I was able to love people. I never compared one with other. I always had a reason to live, cry, hang out; I took relationship seriously. I respected elders. I took time to spend with my friends. I wrote long letters for them. Loved living everyday. I made mistakes. I confessed. I trusted Lord. But now when I look back after 22 years I wonder how I will survive without all those things.
Now I cannot be in the way I was before. In fact I dont want to be. coz I knew I cant have that tender heart of accepting things or even to love people. I don't even know if I can just explain the emotions swirling inside my heart. I'm not special for the time to wait for me, I have to start an other year now whatever happens;
And people who are celebrating your birthday today, many happy returns and I wish you will be loved and let this new year brings you a lot of happiness and blessings your way.
