Why do people always expect us to behave with MATURITY of AGE!?! Won’t a little lenience in that be exonerated!! Because I fail to do so many a time!! Though it sounds weird, it’s a candid confession..
It is usually said that there is a child inside everybody who refuse to grow up with age.. I definitely have one inside me! Well, I behave as a mature human majority of time, but there are moments when I love to unleash that child inside me..who has no worries about her life, who can run in the rain aimless, who can play in the mud no matter how dirty her dress may get, who can sing a loud, who can talk gibberish, who can laugh out loud in crowd, who can sleep in her mother’s lap ,who can cry to get things done her way… Sadly all these are not appreciated by the society we live in because we are expected to behave with the maturity of age!!!!But then can anyone define the fringe of childhood and adulthood! Are we suppose to behave like a grown up the day we step out of teens!?!
But fortunately or unfortunately , I am still a student who hasn’t tasted the bitterness of ‘responsible individual life’ & I am totally dependent on my parents for livelihood !! so I get to spend time with my friends as much as I wish, get to do all the crazy stuff that I want.. Factually I can be that immature child inside me when I am with them, same goes for them as well.. We talk & laugh loud in public places as if the world around us doesn’t exists. That gifted us many ‘fixed stares’ from auntiji’s around! Also the stock line “GROW UP” has been darted against me several times!! but then who cares!!! These days are never gonna come back in our life, so why not live it the way we like..
When I accidently trip up upon an old schoolmate in streets with their burden of family and life on shoulders, I thank god for making me pursue this career which gave me only the burden of a back pack at this age!!!! I know all these will change after a while, me too will have to take up the responsibilities of life, but till then I can enjoy this extended childhood of mine..
Being immature or crazy isn’t a crime, also it is endearing up to an extent.. I strongly believe in that. Just recall the craziest thing you last did..Else try one of your childhood instincts and you will know how true it is :)
