Growing up

I was reading random pages from my diary from 8 yrs ago and all I kept saying every couple of minutes was "gosh! I was so screwed up".

I wonder if 8 yrs from now I will read this blog and say the same thing. :) I hope so, actually, because it can only mean I'm improving. And also because in those pages, every now and then I read a sentence that makes me smile today, or makes me feel proud of myself for having such a profound thought at 16. What better gift can I give the future-me! :)

I think you are in general able to have quite profound thoughts for your age.. :)

Amen to that. :P

[divesh]
Look who's talking, etc.

[SS]
:d yes baby.. :)

Divesh said...

"Look who's talking" - iska matlab?? Kindly elaborate.

Phoenix said...

Iska matlab d(profoundness)/d(age) for you is much more than me. :P

Divesh said...

I don't agree. Case dismissed until further evidence is found.

It only means you are much older :P

Looking back, I feel my wisdom decreased as age increased!

vibhav said...

I agree, I'm sort of liking being a grown up now. :D (Is that agreeing?)

So many the things I did make me cringe a few years down the line. Also, many blog-posts.
I seriously wish I had an advanced eraser of sorts.

Good to have such time points. We inevitably do.

Now that you've lost, where are new profound posts?

[anon]
Who? Me? Naah.

[aditi]
Nope, only your wisdom as perceived by you decreases, because you've really grown wiser now so you can actually see your mistakes. When we are younger, we have full confidence in our beliefs, right or wrong.

[vibhav]
Booring. Never expected you to like being grown up

Phoenix said...

[cocktail party]
that's just a sophisticated way of putting it that you're onyl slightly less screwed up now than you used to be (you wish!)

[Rishika]
:) Thanks for dropping by

[kanupriya]
Despite all the stupidity, I am so glad I dont. There's a beauty to naivety and innocence, no?

[Bhushan]
How can YOU ever be more grown up than you are?

Divesh said...

tum to bilkul hi besharm ho... mujhe laga tha you realized that you lost even though you didn't say it.

Phoenix said...

I was profounder when we were both younger. Not anymore. Your pace is higher
