Boy to Man

I remind myself of peter, paul and mary song ….

how many roads a man must pass, before they call him a man, the answer my friend is blowing in the wind, the answer is blowing in the wind…

When does a male knows that he has left the joy of being young and fresh and entered into a world or more responsibility, where he cares not only about his viewpoints but others as well, where his frustrations are translated into a calm demeanor and he becomes a rock instead of free flowing feather. When he starts taking care of near and dear ones, his parents, his wife, his kids, his colleagues and he starts taking more responsibility towards completion of his commitments and understands the value of being punctual and consistent. Are there any signs which he notices inside his psyche, inside him which are the changes which tell him that transformation has started? To be honest, I don’t know,  I am not sure if what I am feeling is marking my transformation from boy to man. Anyhow, I would like to share what I am feeling now, on my blog with the readers.

I feel…

I am becoming more courageous,

I am becoming more certain,

I know that the world cheats but I am going to make my point anyway,

I know that nothing comes out the way you expect and change is inevitable but I go forward and do whatever I have to do,

I am becoming more self-centered,

I am becoming concerned about how to preserve respect and dignity of my near and dear ones,

I am more concerned about sustainability of myself and my family now,

I now take a stand and do not accept the wrong things,

I am clear about where I want to go in life,

I know I struggle but when I know the reason I feel okay,

I have stopped treating myself as a very important person now, I treat myself just like anyone else now, that does not I don;t care about myself, what I mean is I feel that I am just one of the persons in world and therefore, I keep myself aligned with the reality,

Is this how a boy feels when he is growing up?
