Today's blog is a little different from the other blogs I have written. Today I am going to take you all on a time travel to my past. I am going to share some of my best memories, worst memories, embarassing incidents and also some of the best days of my life!
I just hope you all love my story and shower me with your love and best wishes in the form of likes and comments.
So let's goooooooo!
DEAR 10 YEAR OLD ME,
Hey Shwets! Don't act all strange now, this is you only, just a few years older. Although I am a few years older than you, I am still the same; the same immature, childish, honest, (little) mischievous and hardworking 10 y/o which is just trapped inside a 21 year old girl's body. Honestly, I am still a child at heart.
Do you remember the vase you broke last week, while playing cricket in the ground which belonged to Sheela aunty and she scolded you alot? Well, you thought she will forgive you eventually and forget too but I am sorry honey, she still taunts me for that! Although we cannot blame her entirely because it was her favourite and really antique and expensive. So don't waste your time and energy apologising everytime you see her, alright? Remember how one day with your cousin you accidently cut off a part of your eyebrow? Yeah it still really looks very bad and I probably hate you and would kill you if you meet me.
The main reason why I am writing this letter to you is because I want you to appreciate certain things and people in the right time. After you lose a person or moment, no matter how much you apologise or weep, you cannot bring back time and make things okay. So I want you to value the people in your life while you still have time.
I know you say that this is your age to spend time playing with friends or watching cartoon and that you will spend time with your parents and grandparents after you grow up; but one thing you are not paying attention is that while you are growing up, they are growing old too! Please spend time with AJOBA (grandfather) and AJJI (grandmother) as much as you can because you are going to realise that they love you the most (being their first grandchild) and can go to any extent just for you to be happy. Show them your love and appreciate their efforts and love before it is too late. I know AJOBA can be clingy at times and AJJI can be very strict but when you will realise and notice that there is only love and pure intentions behind those emotions, I swear you'll regret saying things or ignoring them. So just play with them, hug them and tell them they are your favourite while you still have them in your life.
Just a sneak peak of the future: mom still scolds you everyday for not doing your homework, playing too much and also spending money like it grows on tress. And well dad still protects you from mom's fury and loves you infinitely. And yes, he is still your hero!
I just want to end this letter by saying that don't miss out on your golden years just because of fears or ignorance. Live all the days to the fullest with your loved ones! And don't worry about messing things up, I'll take care of it and well, sometimes I mess up too;) But that's just a part of life and we should go along with it!
Lastly you are gonna be so so so proud of who you have become and how far you have come. I love you from the bottom of my heart!
LOVE LOVE
