Heroes :)

Have you ever wished that you were 18? Just to be the master of yourself. NO ONE to tell you what to do, when to sleep, blah blah……

NO ONE to stop you from going to parties, from having late night conversations etc. It all sounds really neat doesn’t it?

Tempting but no thanks. I feel like that sometimes. I’m sure everyone does once in  a while. But I feel otherwise too.

I don’t wish to be 18, but I can’t wait to be. Not making sense right?

These years, while we’re still….. kids(yes, we are. No matter how much you decline that, we are kids. 15/16/17 is not grown up :P), will be the best times of our lives. The fun, the Hakunamatata no care in the world feeling will go. We’ll be in college studying, then we’ll have a family and jobs and responsibilities. This time will never ever repeat itself.

Our parents, at times they’re the reason we wish to be 18. to get out of the house. But remember, WHATEVER they say, is for our benefits. They say it keeping our interests in mind.

“GO STUDY” a typical dialogue heard by most of the kids. A statement that can get your blood to boil. Can get you really angry and should I say, ‘pissed off’

but have you ever wondered the number of sleepless nights our parents have had? Thinking about our marks, our future, about us. Honestly, they’re more worried about our future than we are ourselves. That I know for sure.

Another common dialogue heard by most of us is, “We know what you’re going through because we’ve gone through the same”..

In most of the cases, the first thing that comes to mind is, “ oh man -_-, not again”  or “oh sure you have(sarcastically)”.

Well maybe they have? They were teenagers too once. They’ve done their boards too. They HAVE been through the same pressure we’ve been through.

My Parents. They’re like my friends. I’ve made them mine. Its what every parents wants, to be closer to their child, the know him/her better.

A piece of advice? Everyday, no matter how tight your schedule, just spend a short 15 mins with your parents. Talk to them about absolutely anything. Your school. Friends. Teachers. Any random topic. But communicate with them. They’ll feel really great, and trust me. So will you :)

My parents are my heroes, my role models. I draw inspiration from them. They’re the best :)

i came across this story in hindu mythology which really touched my heart.

Once there was a fight between many celestial beings and gods about who is the greatest. Among the gods was Lord Ganesha. Son of lord shiva and Parvati.

To setter the dispute, lord Vishnu told all the celestial beings and gods, that the first one two take 3 rounds of the world will be the greatest. Everyone set out on their holy animals to circumnavigate the world.

Lord Ganesha, on his mouse, took three rounds of shiva and parvati. When lord Vishnu asked ganesha what he did, lord ganesha replied, “ my parents are my world and since you stated to talk three rounds of the world, I have taken 3 rounds of my world”

Our parents work day and night to ensure that we live a comfortable life. That we never get a chance to complain, that we live a happy life.

In return, the least we can do for them is show them respect, love and gratitude. Show them that you appreciate everything they’ve done for you. It’ll make them feel great.

Show it by making them a card, of a simple drawing. Anything.

Just to make them feel special.

I end this blogpost now. This was a blogpost dedicated to my parents. My mumma and papa.

Mom, dad…. You the shizz :)

Thankyou for everything you’ve done for me. I really appreciate it all :)

Love you, ^^

You're the best :) <3
