18 Years Young! ❤

 

18 Years Young!

 

I've become a bit predictable, right? Well, my fault. Anyway, this is once again a birthday article about a person, who I actually love. Well, before you get to any conclusions, I’ll inform you that the person is me!

The special thing is, this is my 18^th birthday. I don’t know about others, but I've always waited for my 18^th birthday. Why? I'll list it below.

·        I've always been restricted to watch 18+ movies, and had missed many famous films. I caught up with Vada Chennai on Vijay TV, but Super Deluxe is still waiting for me on my watchlist.

 

·        I've always wanted to drive our scooter with confidence, especially not expecting Appa to appear on the junctions I pass. I’ll get my license soon.

 

·        I was too eager to end the jeopardy rule of the ruling party, by registering my vote. They held elections two days prior to my birthday. Kudos, Election Commission.

Well, my school is about to be over. I feel the small kid livin’ within me disappearing. I don’t want him to go, but yet there’s no other way. That kid had taught me life. He took the blame for all I did and ended up being mistakes. He had always supported me. I would always cherish the days, I had him within me.

I’m also getting acquainted with a new me, a matured one. He’s respectable, and he’s the exact person what society expects from the gigantic structure of mine. Well, even though I have losses in possessing him, he’s fine. Maybe, I’ll change him so that even I start liking him. Or, for the worse, I’ll get used to it.

Both of them have their positives and downsides. Positive is, I’m learning and getting exposed to various good things around me. This Matured-me had introduced a new way to approach music, to give equal importance to lyrics. Well, I’d prefer Yugabharathi or Na.Muthukumar over Hip Hop Tamizha. (No Offense)

The main thing I wanted to convey is, wait. Before that, I've found the answer I was searching for almost years. Everyone, I mean, whoever I see or chat with after a gap would say me not to change my personality for anything or anyone. I would really get confused up and ask them what they mean by this. There should be only one meaning. My current personality is good, but am in a vulnerable state to lose it for anyone. Well, that sounded harsh and a thing I never even wanted to consider.

But today, felicitating my 18^th birthday, Mr. Maturity has made me realize that, I’ll be going through a different phase and my personality will change drastically. To all those Suriyas’ who guess this long back, a huge salute. Am currently under a great Tug Of War between the kid and Mr. Maturity. I hope I’ll find a balance point and retain this me.

To all my well-wishers and people who don’t even know I exist, thank you. To my friends, (in both schools) who made me survive one of the worst phases of my life, I owe you guys for life. To the people I fell for, thank you for letting me build a childhood I could visit back.

To Kishore, Viba, Kanda Boopathy, you guys have always held my back and tolerated all my shit. I had once made Kanda and Kishore get in trouble with Police for riding in triples. I’ve humiliated Kishore several times knowing and without knowing which he never questioned me back, I’ve spent a lot of Kanda’s money which he never took care of, and have stolen hours of Viba’s precious time to hear me crying out and sobbing, where she never considered me to be a burden. You people are a family, I don’t know how am going to repay you people.

I’m aiming Visual Communication in a reputed college. I know it’ll be tough out there. But am interested.

Sincere thanks to my extended friends, relatives, and people who know me!

I can’t be more thankful to my parents for having me as their son, and tolerate all I do. My sister, who has zero level tolerance, still adjusts with me and cheers me up, when am low. Special Thanks To Binny and Jothy, for being the amazing cousins, one could have!

To all my blog readers, who read my words, you’re doing a really great job. Even I don’t have the patience to complete my blog, while you people love these!

Life’s changing. Responsibilities piling up, I’ll keep being the same Deepan, accommodating to the changes in my life. Thank You So Much for being with me. I need you, people, forever!
