MISSION   (NOT SO)   IMPOSSIBLE

I hated boys during my high school. I always knew its reason, but behaved as though I didn’t. I don’t mind letting the cat out of the bag now -

I AM SO JEALOUS OF THEM!

I always envied how my cousin brothers were treated. They could go out to play anytime; they get to play first with a new toy; they get to keep the cool stickers with comic books & still they are excused when they break a glass or spill the milk.

I wonder why even now girls are being curtailed from those ‘things’- exclusively for boys. Thinking upon the actual reasons of this distinction gets on my nerves; there are always futile discussions & never a practical solution. These general (& totally personal) notions might not be acceptable to all the boys out there. Still I couldn’t agree more to the fact that boys enjoy greater advantages in almost every field than girls. (No offence guys!)

And all I want in my next life is to be a boy, so that I won’t have to live inside four walls & a roof; so that I get to take my birth name to my tombstone.

Life is so unfair at times. There are situations where you get devalued & ignored only because you are a woman. That’s why the top priority wish of my bucket list is to conquer everything that I was neglected because I am born a ‘she’. And I swear there won’t be any girl in this universe who hasn’t thought about the same for once at least, no matter how impossible a mission it seems.
