Yes I know festivals are around the corner. Yes I have seen my love around the corner. The sparkle of his eyes make my heart skip a beat even after 23 years of our first date.
But around the corner is something else waiting for me. She is none other than TEENAGE ME. Seeing my teenage daughter everyday growing up, I want to relive my lost days. For sometime, I want to forget the knee pain, those hot flushes, the health issues peeping through me.
I want to live a carefree life, with no worries, no duties, for after so many years I have realized I cannot make everyone happy but yes there is someone whom I can make always happy, that someone is ME.
That ME is waiting for her share of pamper, that happiness, that careless life.
I want to live every moment of life happily, without repentation which will start with rediscovering the teenage me around the corner. Though my teenage daughter is 28 years younger than me, I can see the reflection of me somewhere in her face. The same laughter, the same friendship, the same backpack, the same old days of mine.
I want to relive my those days as a teenager waiting for me around the corner, spread my wings in the open sky, fly with no limits.
Around the corner my new life is waiting for me, which will be full of joy and love with no responsibilities and no regrets, where I can forgive all, forget all, spread my wings to fly to anywhere.
