…and finally, I am on the other side of twenties. Some people asked me what was on my ‘birthday wish list’, and quite honestly, I did not know what I truly wished for upon turning 21. I already have everything a girl my age can possibly need (very cliched, yes). I am thankful for having the most supporting parents, an always encouraging sister, an ever sweet grandmom, and the most cheerful friends. S baked me a cake and took me to my old school, after which we visited a government school for a while where I got an opportunity to interact with the kids. At home, dad bought a cake and they all sang for me. It was a blessed day. The annual birthday visit to the temple helped me to focus upon the important things that life has in store for me this year.
A lot has to be conquered and achieved. A lot has to be changed. I promise myself that I will cherish every special moment and not take anything for granted. My life is special and I am born with a purpose, to make a difference, to spread goodness, and to inspire. When I foresee my life on a timeline, I want to remember it for all the memorable moments and people involved. Turning 21 is burdening, filled with a lot of expectations. I should challenge myself and rise above the expectations. I shall figure out what I wish from life, or it may randomly hit me on the head one day.
That day, I will catch hold of it, and run with it.

Being on the other side of 20 for a few yrs now, i realized that this is prolly the decade of your life. education, work, enjoyment, frustration, longing, desperation, determination and all such phoney nouns play a big role in shaping up the future. i saw my childhood and adoloscence depart, to make way for adulthood, turning a person of ideas, into a person of action. Wish you luck to shape your life well and take pride in it always!
You are absolutely right! Thank you so much. I will :)
Wow. That was deep. Although, it’s good to know there are people doing charitable work so early on in life. :D
Haha! Well, there are all kinds of people out there :D
