It's a series of moments, this life. Of split seconds. And I have been spending them as if I have too many of them...I have been a spendthrift...I wanna live in this moment, without thinking about the moment I just left, and the moment that is to come. Too long has been spent in planning about what is to come. Too long has been spent in doing things to set things right for the mistakes committed in the past. Too long spent in being responsible. Too long has been spent in not living in the moment. I became a pawn in my own game. Just one life...I wanna live it the way I wanna live.

You know what I feel right now? I feel, I have to steal every possible moment of this life and savour it, feel it, live it. You know what I wanna do right now? I wanna do things that make me myself. That give me my identity. That make me a unique person. So what if everyone thinks that's stupidity? Why is everyone so afraid to be who they are? To do what they want? Coz it would mean, they wouldn't fit in? Who cares? My difference with the rest of the world is what makes me unique. And I am not gonna curb it and try to fit in. I will be labelled a rebel. Big deal...I am beyond labels. I am A...nothing else.

You know what I want to do right now? I want to feel alive by running in the rain, raindrops beating against my body. I want to jump from a clifftop into the raging sea and swim to the shore, to feel afraid, and to overcome the fear of feeling afraid. I want to sleep on the beach on a moonless night and wake up feeling deliriously happy. I wanna be loud and careless, singing at the top of the world with not a care. The wind in my ears and hair, a bike full of fuel and a mind full of attitude on a road trip...that's what I wanna do...And several such things...

I wanna do everything that my body desires and my mind minds just coz it would mean venturing into the unknown. At least once.

I am a free spirit and I want to remain that way.

As Tennyson says, That which we are, we are...
