life through the eyes of an 11 year old

How many of us can spell the word life? L.I.F.E...pretty easy ah, how I wish that even to live LIFE was just as easy as it's spelling ... Hi I'm Seerat and for me as an 11 year old, life is simple and uncomplicated, to say the least. I believe in dreams and I have songs to sing. I want to learn every new skill. My heart swells and eyes shine at the sight of chocolate and candies lying around, My feet tap on their own without any musical blows. I don't have preconceived notions about people and for me they are how I am. 

I am ignorant  about world peace and politics, but  I believe in angels. I believe in hopeful thinking. I believe that dreams come true. And yes.... tooth fairies were real for me and I looked forward to loosing each tooth of mine. Those years were filled with hope and excitement. All my drawings are perfect... none need corrections because they are through my eyes. I believe in unlimited possibilities to spread my wings. I want to be an artist when I grow up; oh wait...and a chef and have my own youtube channel, become a radio jockey and a professional dancer, all at once. There's no fear of what if it doesn't work out because my mind isn't clouded with the factors unknown ..... But only possibilities known.

I am sure that some of you were 11 year old at some point in time, what happened to that simple and uncomplicated life?why is that an adult's life is troubled on not being able to take that "much needed holiday" but for an 11 year old like me...all it takes are a few play dates with our besties and we are rejuvenated! 

For me life is as simple as fighting with a friend one day and going back to our "bestie"status without qualms the very next day...by simply forgiving and forgetting. But on the other hand adults can complicate their lives by developing estranged relationships over the most trivial issues...all because of EGO!

 I have heard many people say that experiences make you richer in life, then why does every grown up value only earning money . When simple things in life can give you pleasure then why do adults walk around with a look of displeasure! We do have everything we need, but older people are only busy  satisfying their greed! For me, my wealth is the vast collection of tags from new clothes and the empty chewing gum  boxes collected over years. My eyes light up each time an item gets added to it.

I urge you to sometime, see life from the perspective of a 11 Year old which is without prejudice, guilt, fear and complication. I wish you believe that there is something good in everything, believe in the power of love, believe in your prayers and believe in dreams.
