I don't know why I wrote the heading of the post in that order. Wonder if the roller coaster ride so far has taught what really delusions are, and hell yeah, I am out of denial and hence I want to write them out first!
I am no more naive(which I think and not my friends) and idealistic. I don't need everything the perfect way. Yeah, I have descended down to reality. All the mad romantic ideas have evaporated out of my mind. I don't have a short temper(really!). I think at some stage we find religion. Get out of our cocoons, stop messing with it. And then, we get past the stage where we expect mom, dad, this friend, that friend to clean up the mess and fix things! In doing so we undo certain characteristics. I did. And all that is, what I am not today.
Oh and yeah, I am not reckless with my money. It is selfish, cause for as long as I was spending mom and dad's money, I laundered! I really did. And now with my money, I am pretty organized. Or so I think.
I discovered over the weekend that I am no more playful, yes that is the way I used to be. Of course, this is just suppressed behavior. Adaption to your environment. The fittest survive you know! Need be, I will return to being myself!
And for what I am, it has all got to do with the fact that I seem to now have my feet not just firmly grounded but also in reality. RedQueen of Alice in Wonderland says - "It takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place". Be it for your career or personal life, I truly believe in this. Work, work and work!
Coming of age? I like it this way too!
Did someone say it was fun being the kid that you were? I second with you too!

Hey Mayz! Thanks :)
And i love what you've put down there.. Its just awesome.. speaks my mind!
Sometimes I also get this feeling.. But we should alway be a child at heart.. Don't grow up.. Seriously I can't imagine u not being playful n all.. So revert back :)
Growing up and maturity is so over-rated acc to me!! I hate being mature about anything!! But sometimes I too have to give in to being an adult and it makes me quite miserable! :P
:)
Lighten up .. life's too short anyway!
it might be a bit weird.. i think life is better now than when i was a kid :)
i was always afraid of many things when i was a kid.
the kid one was??? or the kid one still is??
We are never full adults... there is always an element of the children we were!
Enjoy each stage and revel in it, for you move on and it usually doesn't come back :)
careful with money :o) ha ha...khud kamane se log careful ho jaate hai paiso ke saath :D
n definitely kidhood rocks yaar...but even adulthood is fun...in its own way though
Now...I can relate to all this...

hey...nice post...
it's all so relative isnt it...somewhere down the lane, we're ruled by our age and our experiences...
clean the slate...start afresh..erase the memories !! the kid within u would automatically be out playing in the park :)
