I was not born with a voter ID.
I was born with choices.
Before I learned to write my name, I learned to scroll.
Before I understood the Constitution, I understood comments, likes, and trends.
And before I knew what a citizen was, I was already acting like one — unknowingly.
I am the citizen of tomorrow.
No one taught me that democracy does not begin in Parliament.
It begins in my daily decisions.
When I choose truth over trends.
When I choose responsibility over comfort.
When I choose silence over spreading hate.
If I am honest, I don’t fear losing my rights.
I fear forgetting my duties.
Because the real danger is not dictatorship —
it is careless citizenship.
I see people demanding freedom of speech,
but refusing responsibility of speech.
I see people wanting clean cities,
but littering streets.
I see people blaming the system,
while being a part of the problem.
If I were the citizen of tomorrow,
I would not wait for change — I would become it.
I would vote not because it is my right,
but because someone once fought for it.
I would use social media not to impress,
but to inform.
I would treat public property like my own home,
because the nation is not “theirs” — it is ours.
The future of India does not depend on leaders alone.
It depends on small choices made by people like me, every day.
And when someone asks me,
“What kind of citizen are you?”
I want to answer —
“I am the one who didn’t wait for tomorrow to act responsibly.”
