20 Little Things I'm glad I Did Before I Turned 20

Hey folks!!

This will officially be the last post on this blog.

This blog has been where most of the crazy things I do today, started - and somewhere it has been an essential part of my process of growing from a teen (still in progress, by the way).

So with no frills or fancies, here are 20 things I am extremely glad to have been able to do, before I turned 20:

(In No Particular Order)

  • Eating Icecream in the middle of the night when I have a cold

  • Sitting in the middle of the road just to click a picture

  • A solo trips. Enough said

  • Green tea and cakes with just my pet

  • Listening to the stories of people I've never met before then, or since

  • Laughing until my sides hurt, a LOT, with people who mean or meant a lot

  • Helping to serve or make something for those who aren't as privileged as we are

  • Making a friend whose last name, Facebook or Social Media handles I don't know of - basically, our friendship exists only and between us. No, not even phone numbers

  • A penpal

  • Finding a LOT of things that piqued my interest - and followed them until I knew better or am still going

  • Putting batter in the over to bake brownies and dancing all over the kitchen while they baked (they may or may not have been burnt)

  • Taking myself out on meals, movies etc - and really enjoying my own company

  • Making little rituals with my loved ones that only we know the significance of. Even something as simple as wishing each other a good day at the start of each day 

  • Staying up all night and watching the night turn into day, while working on different projects

  • Midnight snacks with a loved one and the conversation that followed

  • Stargazing - for an entire night

  • Speaking to a three year old and an eighty-three year old - about life and everything that's in it - on the same day

  • Making or appreciating Art (of all kinds, shapes and sizes)

  • Watching the sun rise from a scenic spot - Going about my day's business and then - Watching tbe sun set from the same spot

  • Family Portraits and all the fiascos that they entail

  • Meeting, finding, loving and losing - people, things, places and memories. Nothing compares to looking back and smiling as every year goes by

PS: An Ending Note

Very few people known to me in the past have known about this blog. Most posts I wrote were also protected and not listed for public viewing. There have been people who have loved and supported this blog from thw beginning; and to them, I always was and will always be grateful beyond what words can explain. To those who are here for the first time, feel free to snoop around and read some of my other work. But this blog shall have no further posts - as I am no longer a teen as I write this.
Thank you, my little corner of the internet, for allowing this teen help her voice be heard in a world where cacophony rules the lives of all.

Ave Atque Vale!
