With me

You know how it feels, to be out of touch with yourself..or maybe too close for comfort (yes, you're reading an abstract writer..pronto). I've been feeling that way..at 23 I realise there are somethings that I need to start doing as an adult...Britney Spear's accurately summarised this feeling in the lyrics of "Not a girl, not yet a woman". I've been feeling that way. I'm earning and trying to stand on my feet...I'm managing my bank account and ensuring that I cut my coat according to my cloth..(I'm yet to learn how to 'grow' my money outside investing in FDs). When I go on field and interview people, they address me as 'maam' and I'm yet to swallow that, you see it makes me feel older than I am..haha..but I love my job and that's the biggest/greatest contentment for me. Basically I realise that I can't depend on my parents for everything and I gotta make more and more decisions on my own..it's like a little bird's dilemma when it is all set to fly out...the open skies are a delight, but with no mummy or papa bird to fly along, if I encounter problems, how will I overcome. If my wing tires, how will I balm it? If my direction is wrong, will I have someone to correct it?

My friend jokingly added that I also need to start looking for 'the man'..haha..wonderful as the prospect sounds...I have a lifetime to spend with 'the man'...but right now, right here I'm living for me and am incredibly happy. Besides, I'm a strong believer in destiny..and most of the time am convinced about it..things happen when they are meant to happen. So with that belief, I rest my case..whenever my being seeks an answer to a particular problem.

Before I sign out..recently one of my articles got published in the rotract club magazine, Cheers! for life. Great effort by the editorial team..here's an abstract from my piece, "the divine painter" which I'm particularly proud of ;0)

"Life starts off as an empty canvas tempting destiny to colour its bareness with experience."

Experience - that is what I'm having, have had and will continue having
