I think that was pretty much substantial. Neither people expected much, Nor I resisted. All I hear my mom dad say is that my first birthday was a historic moment. Well .. It should be.. Being the first baby in the family has its own perks. All I know and have pictures is of my mom dolling me up. I pose, She clicks I dirty, She cleans I hungry, She feeds I cry, She cry. LOL!!! Mothers & Daughters!!! Whew!! Real tough to break the ordeal. Right!!! Moving ahead, As I started going to pre-nursery- Babyland, all I reckon of those time is, I wanted to fly. Fly High!! Then learnt, the word is Pilot. Since then, I wanted to become a Pilot, until I reached teenage and realised.. Maths is compulsory subject for being a pilot and saw my dreams shattered into million pieces. Stepping into teens was a jigsaw puzzle in itself. To begin with, I wanted to become a Firefighter. It was all going well until my first encounter with a burning candle and the rest is history. I, then decided to become a doctor. According to me, which was a cake walk. In no good time, my confrontation with Biology made me discover, dissecting a cockroach was literally not my platter to begin with. EEEEKs! Yeah!! You see, my anxiousness, nervousness and my displeasures consumed a lot.. so, my hopes and dreams and aspirations never got to fly too high. Growing yet older, I realised, I wanted to become everything at once. Ranging from Poet, to Writer, to YouTuber, to Lecturer, to being anything I ever dreamt off. Today, when I look back, I observe that these dreams were just milestones. All I truly and dedicatedly dreamt, was to be Happy. To be happy and content, just like a child. Thats what & who I really wanna be. ------ ©Echoes Thanks for reading. Stay tuned. Follow to know more @cherrythinks
