The misery of ‘ONE’?

There are a lot of people who are scared of ending up lonely. Well, frankly even I was one of them. One of my worst fears was of being alone for the rest of my life.

Well a lot has changed, and single is not that bad. It is definitely not impossible. After all, there is always an allowance for a singleton tag (I apologize for the nerdy thoughtJ). I was just trying to say that there needn’t be someone to complete you; you can most definitely have a beautiful single life.

I would not have written this post if I did not experience both sides. I used to enjoy having company all the time, having blasts on my birthdays with cakes and gifts, having someone to share a whole days experience, having someone to hear out my worries...….Well it didn’t last as long as I expected. The first few days were terrible. I cried for hours. I kept myself occupied. I suppressed my thoughts and my actions. Then suddenly, it became a part of who I am. I liked it this way. I guess people would categorize this as ‘learning to live’. Well, that’s why I said it’s not impossible.

Note: Not divorced, No tragic incidents, No bf problems, Not depressed in life, Not a maniac:-D (Just wanted to think of life from another’s perspective)!

AUNTY IT IS!!!

Its only when you grow old that you realize the joy of being a child. A child is forever eager to grow up, finish studying begin the "joyous" office life and earn money. Hardly does the kid know it only gets worse. The justification in favor of the child is his “maturity level”. Therefore, a child can get away with trying to act old because he is immature and let me put it this way… its just “Aww, so cute!!!”
As you grow older this “maturity level” increases (atleast is expected to). So it would be immature if a grown up would want to be a kid again (lets be practical, forever, is just plain annoying). It is considered immature if you want to play a silly prank, even if it makes people laugh, its immature to hop on a swing and sway till you have forgotten all your worries, its immature if you still like licking a cone ice cream rather than using a spoon, its immature if you still like to hog on your chocolates and candy bars, and so on….

It would be considered immature to desire for childish happiness even if it is once in a while, even if, for that moment, it is all that you happy, because lets face it-- you are 30, and well you would rather be called aunty than play a game of snakes and ladders :)
