Hello everyone!
Five months and ten days ago, I had created a blog with really high hopes! A girl, who lives more in her fantasy world than in the real one, I had thought my first post in my first blog would be an overnight hit, and I'll have a hundred followers! Clearly, that remained a dream, and JustAnotherGirl, remained in oblivion!
As a visit to http://attemptingtoshare.blogspot.in/ would let you know I disappeared after one post, obviously discouraged to see only 1 comment (that too had literally been begged for!). And when suddenly today, I feel inspired to post more, I realise I have forgotten my password AND my username! Bottom line is, JustAnotherGirl had to tun into ApprehensivelyYours!
But I remain much the same person, with more or less the same fears, the same dreams and the same joys. However, five months is a long time, especially in the life of a teenager! So, yeah, these few months have made me older, and wiser, or at least I like to please myself by thinking so! A shiny new badge has been pinned to my lapel, new responsibilities lie on my young shoulders, and my face glows with a new pride, a new sense of achievement. The post of Head Girl however can never take my old tag away from me, for I remain as always just another girl!
Sometimes I see juniors look at me with awe and regard, and it sure does boost my ego! Seven years ago, I had been that eager junior hoping to get the much sought after badge one day. And in so many of those bright eyes I sense the same enthusiasm. Very often I am asked the question as to how it feels pinning that badge to my uniform everyday, and most often I'm lost in a web of emotions. Real life experiences cannot be summed in a couple of words. "Feels great!" is not enough of an answer (although that is what everyone gets from me). But in the dark of the night, when I ask the same question to myself, I'm more honest. "With great powers comes greater responsibilities", and sometimes those responsibilities get the better of you, you want to succumb to the pressure, it gets tough to hold up. It seems so much easier to quit, but then wouldn't I be called a Quitter?! And that word has an awful ring to it. Most often, it's enough to get me thinking straight! Then, once again pinning the badge in the morning 'feels great'!
May be we don't always need the philosophies of great men to inspire us. Sometimes even negative words do the trick! Works just right for me at least!
So, any of you thinking of never reading my blogs after this one post? You Quitter!
Hoping this saves me again,
Gladly back
