Twenty, soon enough

Mother always claimed that taking care of my doll-house was like preparing to take care of my life.
I broke my first and only doll-house.

Father always tried to make sure I had more sense in my pretty head than stories from far-away lands.
I dreamt of wind swept archipelagos off the coast of a rainy existence.

I always wanted to be the kind of person who knew what to do in life and never lost sight of myself.
I ended up abhorring change of any kind.

Twenty years of existence and I don't know if I did anything right.
Twenty years of existence and another twenty starts on a cold, rainy and whiskey-fuelled night.

#Lesson for today: It's scary to be so close and yet so far from turning twenty.

Everyone says that when they are 20, and they keep saying it for a long time. Then one day they realise it's not the end of the world as long as you turn out "happy" Good, bad, ugly, lazy, awesome - all that really matters is happy. And something about your blog tells me you will. So chill, young lady :)

@Tamanna: Thank you ma'am, I am trying to feel all chirpy about being 20 soon. :)

@Andy: See now, being 60 is going to be the best day of my life. :D
