WASTED DAYS OF YOUTH.

Let’s take a quick flashback at the pre COVID situation .. everything is blimey and ready to be explored . The waterfalls in my hometown are splashing minty water , the mountains are green as the golden fishes flow in the stream as if shouting , and calling us to take a peak . The freedom ,the ability to feel the air outside , the mobility of sharing a laugh with my confidants which we now lack .

I wonder if it’s just me or has anybody else felt the difference in the aura everybody has been carrying lately .

Personally if you ask me about my passions , like any other teenager I’d say, being in the company of my friends . That’s the one prime thing I’m truly passionate about . To put this in other words , ‘ I am ravenous for liberty.’ I’m still skeptical about the fact that this might not make sense to others but me , when I say, being unbound is a right which not every person is born with and its funny how it took a whole pandemic for us millennials to comprehend that !!

Staying inside the house in front of our screen for the longest hours might have been one of my biggest teenage dreams but I take it back now ! My parents must think its a blessing in disguise for me as the second thing I’m passionate about is , of course , CONNECTING WITH MY FRIENDS , but you see as much as I hate to admit but when my mom told me 2 years back that ‘ life is so much more than what you see in this confined 4 inch screen’ I didn’t take her quite seriously but well , um , jokes on me now !

I just turned 18 and I’d like to share a secret pact of my (friend) group with ya’ll , every time it’s somebody’s birthday we are supposed to go for at least a 2 hour trek , in order to spend time in nature , talk and give the birthday bee the wholesome attention he/she deserves ..and this year we couldn’t have it , because of COVID . BIRTHDAYS have been quite depressing this year , especially for the people turning 18 , I feel you , you’re not alone .

I lowkey feel that I was forced to waste my potential and my prime year because of this pandemic . Several plans were snatched from my head and to defeat the worst I might not be able to have the opportunity to fulfil them ever again .

I still feel that the energy governing us was obligated to prove a point which is well proven now , but then again , “ WHY’S IT ALWAYS US?!”
