Penning down my thoughts for the year 2022
Another 365 days have gone by! A shayar has written rightly — “yahan shaamei nhi guzari jati hai, aur saal guzar jate hai”( Author not known) But this girl enjoyed this year thoroughly, and loved it with deeper heart.
December is a month of warm, and sunshine. It’s a month to reconnect with old friends, and to reconnect with self. It’s a month to have plum cakes with no guilt, and use all our saved leaves! A month which is so so beautiful, yet very cold in nature. December is a month where I have regained my faith, and hope in life after going through some of the tough times. You can name it reflections, or learning which I have written below.
/A city that I had never heard of and that I had never even considered being a part of became an important part of my life. I didn’t like the city and its people for the first few days, but over time, the city grew on me. I owe Hyderabad my gratitude in so many ways! Cheers to all my friends
/Reconnected with an old friend over the phone and in person are two completely different books. I thought the first one was sufficient, but experience has taught me that the second one is worth trying. You may rekindle new form of joys — soch naya, rishta wahi.
/Enjoy the moment by letting go of your inhibitions. The cup can’t be filled until it is completely empty.
/ There is thin line between giving up and courage. A courage is something you give up all the choices which doesn’t align with your goals, and giving up means you don’t put enough effort for your goals. If someone decided to close the door, it means it took a lot of effort to let go of something.
/People will come in waves to love you, cherish you, inspire you, and make you laugh as we get older and wiser. Life opens a door for them despite the fact that they were your best friends throughout that time. It’s okay for them to leave, and maybe this is good for you!
/ If you friends to whom you call every now & then for anything good and bad, and if they are constant — you are the most lucky person! Cheris it, and nourish it. It’s like a needle in haystack, if you have one.
/ Watch that cringe shows, and have big cheese pizza! Life is meant to be lived in these tiny moment! Allow yourself to feel at home with yourself.
/I wish I could devote more time this year to traveling. It appears that I was unable to do so; a promise that I was unable to keep in the year 2022 will now be kept in the year 2023.
/ I will forever be grateful to the people I have met this year and the friendships I have formed. Friendships of a kind I had no idea existed became an essential part of my heart.
/ I lost my favorite human being — my nani in the year 2022. If you are around your grandparents, spend sometime with them! It’s highly unpredictable when they can go to heaven, enjoy till it lasts! My nani always told — ‘ never do wrong doings, and always keep believeing’. Will stick to it always! I miss her during random moments in my life, but I’m happy she is in a better space.
/Most people make friends at school, in college, at work, and in the neighborhood. The most underappreciated aspect of the discussion is the friendships formed while traveling. Traveling allows you to form new friendships and opens your heart in numerous ways. a friendship in which you’ve traveled the world together every day. a friendship that happens naturally to you without your effort, and a friendship that you work hard to make work.
/Friend, smile frequently! Grin frequently :)
/ Before you want to know where do you want to sail, you need to where you are currently located. Awarness of present situation is more important than giving importance to future every other day.
/Some espresso, and book may not tackle every one of your concerns. Did you ever wonder why it is spoken so frequently? It allows us to reflect in the midst of the chaos that our external lives present. It could be chai as well :)
/I wear my heart on my sleeve, and there are times when it also breaks my heart! Have made new friendships that only lasted for one season. Even though I thoroughly enjoyed a portion of it, I didn’t care for it. That should be fine, I think. Even if, it isn’t — I would like to say — it’s alright!
/Regardless of where you go or what you do, set aside five minutes each day to talk to your parents. Keep the consistency, and see its enchantment.
/ Your dream needs your effort. No one is coming to get up from your bed, and do the required action. Your dream needs you! Create a path for it and learn to dance along the way.
/ Move. Move. Move! Movement in a body is ultra level and pro max important!
/ Explore love in your life. Do not settle for situationship. Life is indeed fullfilled when you have people to love and beloved. All other things are short lived.
/ We don’t need a lot to be happy, all we need is to do real things. Things which makes our heart alive, and soul dances.
/Don’t put anyone on a pedestal just because they made you feel for a short duration. Thy are who they are because of how you think. Sometimes it’s okay to put them on your sleeves, but take a little extra time before pouring your heart out.
/Beautiful sunsets have the power to relax anyone. Watching a stunning sunset with friends is like giving a big, cuddly bear a big hug.
/ A night filled with friends laughter, a walk around the town, gazing the stars during night, and sleeping during sunrise — well it’s a beautiful time which you are living! You are doing life right.
2022 gave us the wonderful land of old school music — Shauq and Ghode par Sawar ( from the move Qala). Songs which I have been listening since the first time I have heard!
2022 gave me tonnes of experiences, and memoreies which allowed me to become who I’m today! I think I love my present version of today and is looking forward to nourish it in right and loveable way!
Grateful for 2022 and Super Excited for 2023!
Please share, and comment! :) Super grateful, and thankful!
