Sometimes I wish I could revisit my childhood…….back then things were so much simpler.I didn’t have to worry about career,job prospects, pay scale, having that someone special in my life, dividing my time between friends and family. Back then I didn’t have any pre-conceived notions about life. I just took each day as it came.I lived in the present without worrying much about the future. My favourite ice-cream or toy would make me happy….playing cricket in the field for hours or laughing and fooling around with my friends made me happy..watching ******-dooby doo or Tom and Jerry made me happy..listening to stories narrated by my dad made me happy…now life just feels so crazy and monotonous…those days of fun and frolic have long disappeared…i am constantly being misunderstood…each and every step I take is constantly scrutinized and questioned..it’s like I’ve lost all freedom…the burden of expectations and the pressure of life at times just gets to me…I feel like screaming my lungs out and drowning in the ocean.I sometimes look in the mirror and can’t recognize myself…who am i?..what have i become?..i miss my old self...the person i once was...I so miss my childhood.
