I never thought I would become selfish.May be I have been selfish always,but never dared to admit it openly.Or even if I admitted so,I never did anything to justify it.So after my declaration of being selfish in this selfish world(with proper justification of my words),I have officially become its part too.Yes,I have come of age.

Never wanting to ruin my innocence and become so practical that I harm others,I have been putting off this coming of age ceremony for years.But hey,now I do get the compliments of being mature and practical. Someone who can keep her cool in the worst of situations.And think logically and defeating her enemies by doing so.

I really haven't done anything wrong in the process to achieve this feat.I just had to become selfish to realise that I was being wronged and taken for granted.And right now,I am enjoying my newly acquired selfishdom.But it hasn't been so bad after all.It had its share of miseries,deceptions,heartbreaks,shattering of illusions.But as they say, Its the truth,the reality that sets you free.It has made me lighter too.And more confident of facing the world ,of which now I am a part.

Though I crave for my lost innocence, I know it has been the price of learning a major survival tip of this world,which I had to pay.Giving it up was due definitely some day.I now fill my heart with warm memories of my once prized possession,when I see it  in others.

I wish they do not have to give it up to grow like me and become selfish. The world still needs some foolishness and innocence .Though it discards these traits,they still make it beautiful and bearable by being there.
