She had always been a good girl – meticulous, cautious. But tonight she wasn’t herself. Tonight she didn’t want to be herself. She would banish years of conditioning… of saying NO, for tonight her heart would rule her head. She steeled herself. Then, ‘Happy birthday’, she said to herself biting into a huge piece of cake.

Today’s genre is ’55 fiction’
Will she allow herself to break free every other day, or was it just an ordinary day – her preverbial 'birth'day? – Like any good story it had me thinking. I love this 55 fiction idea, it's new to me.
That sounds like what I am going to say in about a month 🙂 Breaking my 'no sweets' rule on my birthday! Well captured, Tulika 🙂
have a nice weekend

Yeah you can wink and smile.. you know exactly how true that is.
To have my cake and eat it too…that's the spirit, you go girl!
Hey thanks Beloo.
She should savor every single bite. After all it is her birthday!! ♥
I'm sure she did.
Urghh.. the diet rules !! Good she listened to her heart atleast on her birthday.. I am now looking forward to mine 😉
Heh Heh.. Jyotsana have a good one with lots of cake.
Sometimes we got to listen to our heart too….let her enjoy the cake 🙂
Absolutely. She did just that.
If she is placing her heart on the top…she is not on the wrong track…
I thought so too. Sometimes it's nice to do that.
Way to go, indeed…Love begins with self love 🙂
That's the hardest, often.
And that's what it should be, a coming of age!
Thanks Michelle.
Yeaaa! Way to go gal.. hv a bigger bite!
Lol.. Mina, I'm sure she's grateful for that encouragement.
Birthday are a strict no-no from abstaining from the 'wrong' food. she should gorge on the cake.
Absolutely, that's what she thought too.
Fight between resolve and desire. Well put!
Yes.. sometimes it's nice to let the heart take over… sometimes!
Hehe…good one! I'm glad she had that bite!
Thanks Aditi.
