Reflections on my passages through life… fleeting moments that made me into who I am… Beginning Kindergarten, joining the Brownies, my first sleep-over with my first best friend.
Days followed days and I grew into adolescence… I felt the eagerness and longing of first love from afar… but later went on a date with a ‘real’ boy.
But society frowned, demanding other passages—‘normalcy.’ Marriage… children… a home and a career. No more room for an immature crush…
Children grew up, I grew… older. Time now for my next passage—‘mid-life crisis,’ ‘second childhood.’ Come back, Love I cast aside!
