So, here we are - entering a whole new phase with the breaking of a new decade, a new dawn. The last ten years were definitely fruitful, though it wasn't without its own share of downs, but one thing that we are all looking forward to is- what's kept us alive for centuries- learning from the past, and adapting to the present, to prepare for the future. The only present is the future. One thing I've sure learned is my love for writing. Above all things that I do, writing sure leads the way. So with this discovery, I've just about decided to begin the decade with my love, and here I am, releavling all (well, almost) to you. "I am the alpha!"
I'm leaving behind an entire saga, and moving on now. I began the last decade when I was just seven, just inducted into school- second grade. I ended the decade having turned seventeen, and the dusk, and the pinnacle of my adolescence, and a dawn for adulthood, and life as I shall now know it to be.
You know, as well as I, what all occured in these ten years. There were fights, fought in school, tears cried at home, problems had with friends, and memories withered. The likes, the likes. It was as good as life- as blissful as ignorance! Friends came, went, and then soon died out! My mother tells me it's a passing thing. And friends pass away, as easily as time. But the problem with us, is that we're too attached to things of the past- its chains pull us, and I give in without a fight. Memories. I don't see the light at the end. I just see the light at the back, from where I came, and weep in the darkness. So, with a new beginning, we're back to a start, and I swear to never fear or hesitate to tread on unknown ground. I shall treat the past, as past, and "Act, act, in the living present!"
As my friend puts it, "Let's start 2010 with a smile, and not a fight! :)" So here I am, sticking to words heard, and treating bygones, as bygones, and facing the next decade, and the rest of a tomorrow with optimism, sure that it can only be better than whatever I've learned, and known till today!
