On stepping into the twenties :)

Never felt a road as rocky or a fall as hard, wait, yes I have; which means I did it once, I can do it again. Things are never perfect but I like to look at a glass half full. My day-to-day motto is: step in shit, you’re bound to smell it. So I try to dodge shitty people, shitty situations, and shitty confrontations. I can say that I’ve definitely learned a lot, especially in this year of life. My teenaged days are something to only look back at and know that there where definitely good times and that those times supremely surpassed the bad. It is early twenties and very experimental, though  ‘they say’ that stage is typically in the teens, and by experimental I mean within myself; getting familiarized with who I am and who I will be shaped into for the rest on my life. Still breathing and realizing that I am never certain on what I want or who I truly am yet. I have tons of goals and and I’m trying to find ways to accomplish all of them. I guess the success of it all and being content, truly content in life, happens when you have everything all figured out…lets just say that I’m content knowing that I do not have it all figured out nor do I even know where I’m going or where I will end up. It’s like I’m walking the yellow brick road…the view is though is magnificent. 

A new one.

Well, it is for a "new one"... I am heading back to the daily hum-drum of life, after a long leisurely vacation and a relaxing time at home. And this time, the "me" who is going back is a happier, stronger and surer one. And of course, to a different "life" than the one I left behind. The new-ness of it all does give me those butterflies in the tummy!!

I am really looking forward to what is in store in life ahead, in the few months to come. Having decided to take it as it comes, I shall let the sweet things be cherished and the not-so-sweet ones be taken with a pinch of salt.

Leaving, with a new page for life to scribble its text on, and I can almost smell the fresh smell of the parchment :)

Still very much in love, with life, and with myself. :) :)

Smiles everyone's way.

Till next time.

Friends

Happy Friendship's Day!

Friends :) I identify with someone who said today that being an only child, my friendships have defined and completed me. This is true for me, not that I have many "true" friends. I have had friends all over the country, with Dad being in the Army and having travelled widely in the country. Yet, the lasting ones and the ones I cherish most, are few :)


Friends...came and went, some stayed for a while, and some forever. 
They all left a mark, some short-term, and others, lasting ones.


However today, when I stand and look back, I cherish the friendship I have with few special people...single digits to be precise. Why?? Because they were with me when I had no one, and they have been there to pick me up from the depths of despair every single time I tripped. And never have they said "I told you so". Ever.


What makes me happy today is that I know there are people out in this world, who I can bank on, and who shall vouch for me all the same. Very few, I agree, but nevertheless, they exist. And their existence is enough to make me smile on those days when the sun does not rise and shine for me. 


And today, I would want them to know that I love them with all my heart, and shall strive to be there for them all the way, in ways more than I could hope for, and that I cherish every single memory I have of them, and with them. Our bond is eternal. 


Love to all. 

A new beginning

This is me, attempting to begin life afresh, with new resolve and determination, and yes, loads of love. 

The past months of my life have certainly not been the best ones. I have loved and lost, but I am glad that I got to love, like never before. Those 18months of my life were full of "goods" and "not-so-goods"... 18 months... have passed, and 3 more after that. Need a pinch sometimes to remind me I'm in the 3-months phase and not the 18month-one! Needless to say, I loved it, with all I could! And now, it's time to say good-bye to those happy times, and move forward, to find more smiles :)

I am not about to brood or go into retrospect and find reasons to blame myself, like I have before. This time, I am going to follow "Do not be sad it ended, be happy it happened" and move on. To a new start, where the sun shall rise and shine again, and the stars shall smile down on me. 

 In the time that has passed, I have learnt a lot, realized a lot, and understood a lot. And now, with these lessons, I shall pack my bags, say a sweet good-bye to what-was, and say a bright and cheery "Hi!" to a new tomorrow.

Here's to a new beginning! Cheers! 

Until next time.
