When life hands you lemons...

You’re walking down the road, on a lovely sunny day, with your own little cheery smile. Then suddenly you feel a splat of something on you. Yep. Its bird shit. That’s how you feel with life sometimes; a mishmash of irritation, of melancholy, of exasperation that changes the wallpaper of your face! But over the days, upon traveling, and meeting all kinds of people I’ve discovered that there is a chocolate center to the chewy crust of life and to accept and walk on is the solution, even though there is another bird waiting to shit on you.

The summer of 2009 has really changed me. I have become more positive, more enthusiastic and have learnt to accept all kinds of circumstances, no matter if they come with a scratched surface or in a decorative packaging. Actually I think I’ve always been like this but the excitement of being someone, now that school is over, cloaked my personality. But now, knowing that I have friends who will smack me if I change, and not for the better, and family for whom I have no worthy-enough words for, I am ready to serve against all odds with a smash from the very first hit.

I mean even I have those days where I feel like getting a mosquito zapper and spanking all those people whose only delight is so see you miss a step on the ramp of life. Now, I am just too secure to care. There is so much to look forward too! Studies, friends, travel, opportunities, and college! Its not only these ½ star rating moments that are my memories, I have some of the most fabulous reminiscences of my life. From astounding secrets, to those moments where my stomach hurts from the non-stop hysterical laughing, to tender moments that have made me sleepless for nights and to the silly and naughty little shenanigans that I’ve been a part of. I have never learnt to love my life more!

When chewing gum gets stuck in your hair, you have no option but to cut it off but eventually that hair grows back, more plush, more beautiful. We all want to troubleshoot life ever so often but we have all the answers and yet we’re so busy finding them! I am not bragging nor am I swanking about myself. But life has handed me my share of lemons and I’ve simply leant to toss ‘em back and ask for strawberries instead!!
