At A Certain Age


At a certain age, you’ll stop longing for a companion.

You’ll stop insisting to join a lunch out when you’re not invited or feeling offended over a planned birthday surprise that no one told you about.

You’ll learn not to stress over people and forced relationships. Instead, you’ll start enjoying your own company. You’ll stop feeling awkward over an empty seat in front of you in a café or a large bucket of popcorn all for yourself in a cinema. You’ll choose sleep over an uncommitted conversation, to stay at home and indulge yourself in classic movies than to force yourself to show up in a Friday night party just to blend in. You’ll learn to cross roads alone, take bus rides on your own, witness breathtaking views and enjoy once-in-a-lifetime experiences with yourself.

At a certain age you’ll learn that moments can also be fun and memorable even in your own company. That it’s never sad to explore life’s corners on your own, that’s its actually more fulfilling and freeing. At a certain age you’ll learn that you are not getting any younger and all you can do is to make every moment count. That life is a short but meaningful journey; and to make the most out of it, you have to stop waiting for someone to hold your hand and walk the road with you.

You have to get up and cherish the walk yourself.

Especially in Boogie Shoes


“When people talk listen completely. Don’t be thinking what you’re going to say. Most people never listen. Nor do they observe. You should be able to go into a room and when you come out know everything that you saw there and not only that. If that room gave you any feeling you should know exactly what it was that gave you that feeling.” ~ Ernest Hemingway
