We usually write, talk or think about what was past, what we had, the good days which are long gone. Especially our childhood, school days and that time when we had no responsibilities or worries. 

But, for a change why not talk about now. In my previous write up I wrote about my salad days, my childhood, school time, mentioning it the golden time of my life. And today after 10 years from that writeup, when I am writing down again I still feel that this is the best time that I have with me.  

With passing days, I have grown up, seen so many aspects of the world. I met new people, went to places, experienced so many varied emotions which I never had. Of course, some good and some not so pleasant. Learnt to be adamant over something and agree to disagree which is not arguable. 

Some days the sun was shining bright on my face keeping my spirits high. Some days I was gloomy, just crying without a reason. I lost a few friends but earned many more. Lost a few treasured relations whose memory shall never fade, but, learnt to cope up with it. At times, I am messy and also cranky but dare you challenge my patience and you shall never see me lose.

I was a reckless, carefree bird. But now, I know how to hold my wings! 

Every moment teaches you something new. Earlier, exams, teachers and parents were the greatest terror of life. But today, when life introduces you to a whole new world you seem to like that terror. You realize their worth, their place, their importance! Now like a matured person you look forth to make your coming years better. You meet so many people, some you can call friends, some just acquaintances and some come in your life just to teach you a lesson for a lifetime.  

Be grateful to those who are good to you and thankful to those who taught you the hard way. Every day does not change anything, but when you look 10 years behind you see a whole new world, a completely different you, a totally changed environment around you. Hang on to the new relations you have developed over the time. Let go of the people, or things you can’t hold on to. Turn around to that what hurts you or pulls you down and look up to those who stood with you through thick and thin. 

This time is a good time because we moved forward, gained some bitter good experiences, looked back and then moved ahead. Ten years from now I shall again write, about that good time which shall be with me.
