2023 and meme-oir (To be continued...)

 


My dearest sunflower

How are you? How has the new year been treating you?  I wish for the best of health, strength, wisdom and enrichment this year. Its been a week into the New Year, I have already tapped out. Just kidding. I don’t think the last year ended. It feels like its still dragging on, maybe its just me.

I have embraced this year and all its endless possibility with a hint of cynicism and a lot of tea. I have decided to focus more on the reality of things, rather than hoping on the bigger picture. While I do agree the need to focus on the bigger picture as whole, I have come to enjoy the smaller, more mundane things in life. 2023 has introduced me to some really fascinating and beautiful souls, and I have decided to enrich myself by basking in their presence and feeling the love, pulling in all that knowledge and just honestly enjoying the vibes.

2023 was the year where my friends and I grew close and also apart, we spent every moment, memorizing the jokes, the small details, conquering new lands and expanding our horizons.

2023 was the year where I got into my first job. I made new friends, a different environment, but I loved every moment of working, learning, making mistakes, growing, falling, tripping and laughing till my face hurt.

2023 was the year where I was humbled, hard. Met new people, burned new bridges, built better ones and I learnt that falling down is the best thing that can happen to you. Getting too comfortable on the pedestal is not a good thing.

2023 was the year where I expanded my horizons personally, changed my writing, started prioritizing myself, failed miserably, made more jokes, and truly enjoyed pani puri. As a close friend of mine once said

“There is absolutely nothing a little pani puri and ice cream can’t fix” and I stand by it.

2023 was the year where I survived for a week without my glasses, that was scary.

2023 was the year where I learnt not everything is perfect. Satisfaction is key, broken things can be mended and a stitch in time saves nine.

I also met you in 2023 Sunshine. Safe to say it has been awesome and you inspire me everyday, my admiration for you grows with the waxing and waning of the moon and I cannot wait to squish your face and ramble stories to you. I also want to stick feathers up your nose and see how hard you sneeze (weird I know). I really hope your 2023 was amazing, do tell me about it, and also about your hopes for 2024! 

Till then,

With love and warmth

Jess.

The Latest Chapter Well I’m back. Let’s get into this fools charade shall we?  It has been a while since I have written to you. Apologies are in order. I've taken a break from working.      It has been a bit of a wild ride since then. A few months back I realized I needed a change. Clueless as to what that change would have to be, I started to analyze every aspect of my life. My job, though fulfilling, also left a bit of a void in me, kind of like Sisyphus. you do the same things, the same route to work the same walls, the same hurdles. An infinite loop, but you slowly realize it's not a loop. but a maze. A meandering maze that drives you mad with the same doors and puzzles. Life is hard but honestly it does not have to be so dead end. Go out.. Live a little. Life is too short for you to succumb to it.       Money is essential, yet when you die, you cannot take an ounce of it. We are all ashes and dust at the end of the day. I sound morbid, I know...

Verily a bit lost...

  My dearest Sunshine,      It has been a fair while since I have written to you. A lot has happened this past month. So much has changed. As we reach the end of this year, I cannot help but be filled by a sense of peace but also loneliness. I have won some, I have lost some but the journey has certainly been rewarding. Took my wins alone, swallowed my losses by myself and hey I did survive. It was a year filled with lessons on adulthood, friendship, responsibilities and growth. I have also realized I have become Carrie Bradshaw in the past weeks, where I relate to her on so many levels. Be it the writing or the incessant love for shoes and getting stuck in cycles of emotional unavailability and wasting my time. Work has been rewarding in a way that drives my ambition. Things I have taken away from these past months include: 1.     You are too much for someone. You are also just enough for someone else. You will not be enough for another person. Don’t...

You live once, die a little, live a little.

  Alright, it's been 4 months. I know I promise consistency, I did not say I would commit to it though. A lot has happened so let's get to it? A new job came this July, it was unexpected but I did take the chance to expand my horizons and what not. and it's safe to say I am happy with where I am. I have a lot to talk about, a lot on my mind in the sense that I  have forgotten how to process things, I have grown so numb now all that i can choke out is laughter for all the situations I find myself in.  First things first, WHY ARE SO MANY PEOPLE GETTING MARRIED??? like is there some sort of pact going around to marry as quick as possible? Am I the only one who finds this odd? Like I am touchwood completely happy with myself… like i am content, satisfied even to my hearts content. The thought of sharing my space, a space that I have struggled to give myself, the place that I have felt so cautious to take up, I finally have it and I LOVE IT! Big props to the people who share ...
