Driving to work today, got me thinking of how things have changed over the years, me, people around me, situation and circumstances!!! Signs of maturity?? I am not sure...but let battle it out
1) when the phone rings..I remember how my sister and I used to run to the phone. It was like a marathon, who gets to it first. Now, we just let it rings and see who gets to it eventually - Signs of Maturity / Signs of "I can't care less"?
2) My phone bills used to be a rising 4 digits...now, it's 2 digits, some days there isn't any calls made!! Signs of Maturity / Signs of lesser friends??
3) Those days when I drive and nearly met with an accident, all those "flowery" words comes out of my mouth, now, I look up at the driver and smile and thank god for the narrow sweet escape - Signs of Maturity / Signs of "I-can-now-afford-my-own-damages??
4) When I'm pissed off, I used to bang the door, rant and rave and make sure the whole world knows my problem..now, I cry in silence, and rant and rave in silence or just smile and say, everything happens for a reason - Signs of Maturity / Signs of insanity??
5) When I have the time at nite, I used to ensure that it was well wasted to wee hours in the morning...now, I love the whole idea about staying at home during the weekends and I sometimes feel real down when Sunday is over and I did too much over the weekends and left no time to myself - Signs of Maturity / Signs of selfishness??
6) I used to love company, so much so in college, I made sure there would be somebody with me when I got to the toilet...now, I await for the time to be by myself - Signs of Maturity / Signs of selfishness??
7) When people used to ridicule me, I used to get really upset...now, I can't be arsed. In fact feel sorry for them to know that I'm their spice in life - Signs of Maturity / Signs of I-couldn't-be-bothered??
8) Matters with regards to men - Those days when things go sour between us, I used to delete them from my memory, phonebook and all their traces will be vanished..Friends after the sour turmoil? dream on!!...Now, things go sour, i just laugh and cry, coz I so called it upon myself - Signs of Maturity / Signs of Stupidity??
9) When things are not right and I need help, I used to run to my parents for help...now, i find help within myself - Signs of Maturity / Signs of huge-ass-ego??
10) Enter a party, I used to make sure everybody knows I'm here...now, I try to sneak from the back, try a silent entrance, but that always fails - Signs of Maturity / Signs of Shyness??
Hmmmmmm.....something to think about.. but rite now...with all this writing and what's going around here at work...it's definitely SIGNS OF INSANITY!!!

I feel you... and I know what you are going through. I won't call it a sign of maturity but a change in your perception and attitude towards life and don't let anyone tell you that you are getting old!!!

WE LOVE YOU
You wrote this rather well darshini I must say. Perhaps it’s just a sign of growing up. Or the lunacy from work stress? Hahahaa
Somehow, whatever said and done, everything boils down to what you really want and really are. If you’re happy with what you’re doing then stick with it. If you’re not then change it. You have the options right
Keep writing, you’re good at it
Regards, maha
