Sweet 16

I just celebrated a birthday. 26th. Had a nice day. I took a little walk down memory lane. Got thinking about my 16th birthday, 10 years ago!Wow! It was a great. My friends gave me a surprise. Was fun. That time of my life almost seems surreal now. Since then, it has probably been the most 'happening' decade of my life. I'm sure most of us would agree.
I read somewhere once that we spend most of our lives waiting for life to happen. So true. I have always been waiting, to finish school, to find a job, then the right job, right guy, so on and so forth. I am not complaining, I have a great life, but just feels so rushed. At 16, even with all the waiting, life was so close, I could almost feel it. There were so many things unexplored, unknown and unfathomable. There was so much I was unaware of, which made it all the more beautiful. If I ever had a chance to go back in time and do it all over again, I would probably not do a single thing differently. Those mistakes, their consequences, none of it. But I would sure want to live it again.
I am still learning everyday, and I'm sure will never know it all. Nevertheless, nothing can beat the charm of sweet 16!
