Heart beats racing, your veins feel the burn.
You wanna through up, you might just
pass out,
You shed every ounce of regret, and
every speck of doubt.
You stand your ground and meet it head on..
The fear that grips you, will soon be
long gone..
What you earn instead is a mighty legacy
behind,
One that you look back upon with pride
that, I SURVIVED!
The first time you made it into the 8am.
Virar. Or the time when the girl from the suburb, snubs the snobs from South
Bomb. The time when you shun the shackles and fight for your convictions. The
time she decides to switch her circuits diagrams with croquis. Or the time you
rise above the politics and shine on your merit. The time when you only follow the little voice
in your heart, and not the noise that tells you otherwise.
Adventure… trying to define it is kinda
like picking out an ice crème flavor. I may like a loaded double chocolate chip
Sunday with chunks of cookies and a drizzle of hot fudge, you may like a plain
old vanilla. But in the end we both indulge in some artery clogging goodness.
Adventure too, like ice crème is indulged by all**. Some may find their thrill
jumping off a plane at 15,000 feet, some may find the exact same thrill by
surviving the month in the city with a handsome change to spare. We all indulge
in adventure in our own little way, some may like chocolate, some Vanilla, but
at the end of it we all indulge in a bit of ice crème , in a bit of Adventure.
Adventure N Me!
Am a little cookoo that way! I live my
life as if I have a 5 person camera crew filming a music video on my life with
Adele playing in background. Hello, can you hear me? Adventure for me is little
things that get me racing, making the right choices and surviving little
challenges that life brings your way and you like a HERO, kick it where it
hurts and smugly say, IS THIS THE BEST YOU CAN DO?
Making it through straight green
lights..
Baking a cake that doesn’t look like a
make shift lake.
Getting off social media and surviving.
Indulging in some downtime read instead
of Downton Abbey.
Walking past a sale sign and not
flinching.
Regretting the nightmares that follow, but still watching horror movies even if I find my head buried
deep inside the blanket for a good half of the movie .
Leaving behind dirty laundry and making
time for a little game of tag with the munchkin.
Cutting the TV connection even if it
means I will have to face the wrath, anger, rage , fury and tantrums of the 33 year
old husband.
In the end, one of my biggest
resolutions, that I managed to conquer
is: staying away from all forms of
negativity, no gossip, no girl on girl hate! It’s easy to berate anyone. Hell
its even satisfying sometimes.. But it’s these kind of things that makes my
back hurt, I begin to slouch with all that hate on my back and before I know it
I turn into this wretched old ugly witch that no amount of makeup can hide.
Why do all need to be in a race? Why
can’t we all win.. Staying positive is a struggle, but it will probably be the
most enriching Adventure you ever embark upon!
And that’s a wrap!
