"Where did you see yourself five years ago and who you are today?
I was the girl who danced with glee at the sight of candies bought by my father. Now, I am the woman who settles the dinner bills.
I was the girl who found endless summer days boring. Today, I am the woman who longs for the solace of a weekend.
I was the girl who pledged weekly meetups with friends, yet now, time slips through my fingers like grains of sand.
I was the girl who cried for the vibrant colors of a birthday dress. Today, I adorn myself in muted tones, a reflection of maturity.
I was the girl who pleaded with my parents for dinners out. Now, I savor all three meals in solitary moments in a bustling restaurant.
I was the girl who eagerly awaited festivals for the chance to don a new dress. And today, I stand adorned, not for a festival, but for Women's Day.
A lot took its place. Yet here I am living the story of each passing day." ❤️
