A 20 year old's Resignation Letter

#LifeLessons #Darshan #Positivevibes #reflectiveconversations

I really wish that I would always remain a child and never ever become an adult. With this unfair and judgemental world around me and biased opinions that life brings across, I would hereby like to tender my resignation as an adult.

Resignation

Dated- 4th April, 2000

1. I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult. I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of an 8 year old again.

2. I want to go to Mc Donald's and think that it is a 4* restaurant.

3. I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make a sidewalk with rocks

4. I want to lie under a big oak tree and run a lemonade stand with my friends on a hot summer day.

5. I want to return to a time when lie was simple; when all you know were colours; multiplication tables and nursery rhymes, but that did not bother you because you did not know what you didn't know and you didn't care.

6. All you know was to be happy because you were blissfully unaware of all the things that should make you worried or upset.

7. I want to think that world is fair. That everyone is honest and good. However we cal always debate on the definition of "honest and good".

8. I want to believe that anything is possible. I want to be oblivious to the possibilities of pain and complexities of life and be overly excited of the little things again.

9. I want to live simple again. I don't want my day to consist of computer crashes, mountain of paperwork , depressing news, how to survive more days in a month than they are, money in bank account, gossips, illness and loss of loved ones.

10. I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word, truth, justice, peace, dreams, the imagination, mankind and making angels in the snow.

I would request to accept the same considering above objective reasons on a shortest notice period possible , so that I can start over again.

Before I end this short post which allows each of us to reflect and appreciate the smallest of joys and moments, I leave you with these beautiful lines ( not written by me but collected while reading somewhere).

खुदसे जीतने की ज़िद है,

मुझको खुद को ही हराना है

मैं भीड़ में हूँ दुनिया की

मेरे अंदर एक ज़माना है

Translation in English:-

"Stubbornly winning

I need to beat myself

I'm in the crowd

I have a time "

क्या कभी कुछ लफ़्ज़ों को पढ़ कर ऐसा नहीं लगता कि हवा का कोई झोंका छू गया हो ,या बारिश की बूंदों ने चेहरा भीगा दिया हो I शायद हकीकत में भी वैसा एहसास न हो पाये ,यही ख़ूबसूरती होती है छोटे-छोटे लम्हो को नज़दीक से देख कर बयां करने में I छोटे छोटे लम्हों में ही सबसे ज़्यादा सुकून होता है I

Translation in English:-

"Have you ever read a few words, when you feel that a gust of wind has touched you, or the raindrops have made the face wet. Perhaps in reality, you might not experience the same, this is the beauty of small moments which we are usually not aware of . Pleasure lies in small moments"

With Warm wishes and Positive vibes only
