Many blog posts and thoughts have come and gone in my mind. Talking about living in a hotel for 4 months in Lonavala, out of 2 suitcases and a roommate to figuring out how to live with the silence inside you and around you. To knowing what it is when you come back and realise that most people have in those 4 months moved on and done a lot of things without you. That you weren't part of, simply coz you weren't there. To the fact that everyone I know is getting married. Suddenly 24 is the new trend. The beginning of the new, the unforeseen and the unknown. Everyone is their own Columbus, set out to journey in search of new lands. I thought 23 was by far the most depressing and longest year of my life. 24, perversely is moving at a pace only matched by my speed of talking which is 32x most of the time.
I don't know what to write about, except that I have lots to write about, but I don't know where to start or what to start. Everything is intertwined. Dullness is the new word in my life. New motto. Everything seems so tame, so dull in comparison when I look back at last year. A year of learning, super harsh lessons and extreme stupidity. Even my blog posts from that time are weird. Like broken mirrors. All harsh and jagged and shiny. Weirdly shiny.
But thankfully everyday is no longer a struggle, rather it's a to do list to achieve day in and day out. (Most of which gets carried forward to the next day and the day after that) Filled in with drama, friends, new people, facebook and work.
When I was 23 (which was just last year) I was trying to hold onto 18...desperately. Now I'm just 24. It's like the age to be. The cusp between young and hyperactive to 'finally-I-know-who-I-am'. It's the new age to be. Amongst girls that is.
For starters, marriage is the foremost topic in everyone's minds..My BFF is getting married and while it's all part of working for her wedding as of now, life with her as a married woman with her own teething problems and new life will be way different from being the two random girls meeting at gloria jeans and clubbing every alternate weekends. It's all yet to sink in. I have a sneaky feeling that it'll hit me 2 months after she's gone..
Everyday is a new person getting hitched on FB and it's like a fresh new batch of wedding graduates of the class of 24. Hitched is the new status. The new update. The new profile photo and the tweet.
There's too much thought going into this post. I think a poem is about to inflict itself so I'd better stop writing.
I'll end with a quote from Peter Pan (Since I am quite fascinated again with the whole story) Even though it doesn't really apply here.
“Second star to the right, and straight on till morning."
That, Peter had told Wendy, was the way to the
Neverland

Beyond a point in time you only make acquaintainces,maybe good acquaintainces, but friends - thats a different ball game. Soif you had one ,latch on to them ,nurture them,supoort them, and yet give them space so that the relationship can breathe and last longer.
