Festivals for me have always been fun. Indian festivals is all about making yourself look good, asking God for more, eating like you will never see food again, meeting family and friends like today is the last day. So many things! Cultures are many, but none as rich as the Indian's.
The festival of colours, I welcome it each year with all heart. I never looked forward to it as a festival to celebrate or rejoice, it was just another HOLIday. But this time it was different. I looked forward to it for a month, I was going to play HOLIIIII!! Not just sit in my bedroom laughing at people looking like Avatars. I was going to look like one myself!! It was better than I thought it would be.
Seven years ago, I saw myself in the mirror all pink and the colour didn't wash out for two days. And today, while I look into the mirror, I see myself pink again, looking like a monkey with a red nose. those days came rushing back to my mind and I realized, I grew up too fast and took up too many responsibilities, but that is who I am today. And I proudly accept it.
Life isn't about NOT looking back, it is about looking back and smiling at those days and remembering those moments and feeling the love just ONE MORE TIME.........

I agree! Looking back, I feel like I've definitely grown up too soon. But the end result will definitely be worth it, right?
ReplyDeleteOf course! We can't stop growing. And at the end, we are just better people :)
