Life has been upside down these days. Pretty Strange it used
to be with all those chills and thrills happening everyday that I myself
couldn’t absorb the one thing that has just happened and another one was on its
way. Still I used to find enough time to pen down the thoughts so excitedly
with the adrenaline those events used to give. Although the course of action is
still the same but the way of thinking and the source of that adrenaline has
definitely changed.
Nowadays the thoughts have begin to take this unusual path
which I think everyone embark upon just the once in their course of life and
never look back. We have been walking down the same path ever since we gained
consciousness and this is the moment when you think just for your sake, “ That’s
enough I guess. I’m tired. Let me take a diversion here.”
Some might call it could be a turning point or the point they
have looking up to their whole life just to find a different spark. That is the
point where you’re more concerned about the little things happening in your
life, which believe me you, actually matters.
A Point where you’re more focused on discussions over
opening a PPF account rather, than which pub you should hit next weekend. A Point
when an early morning walk after a shitty day at work makes more sense than
sleeping the day off.
That’s the point when the famous “Chandler Bing” quote,” I’m
29 damn it! I want to sit in a comfortable chair, and go to sleep on reasonable
hours” seems legit.
A Point where a Bangalorean eating a spice less Biryani
would say, “ Ahh. What the hell, what different does it makes. Let’s eat.” A
Point when you look for a possible compatibility in your date rather than a
hookup.
Priorities have began to change, groups are becoming
smaller, hangout spots have moved and certain values have started to make more
sense. It seems a little strange but it feels right. Although I have seen it
coming, it’s just that I have not prepared myself well enough in advance.
This is the point when you realize that you need to stop
searching for the one that gives you a moral value and appreciates you, because
just as others while running the race you have stopped appreciating yourself.
That’s the moment when you start to value yourself and prioritize your own
goals.
When you distinguish yourself from others and decide the
kind of person you want to be, comes a smile on face and you find yourself
asking a question, have I grown up? The thin line between this question and the
mystical response you get holds the answers to the person you will be, is the
moment you realize that there’s a huge difference in being “an adult” and being
“a grown up”.
