Penguins at the Piccadilly

 


My dearest Sunshine!

How has your week been? How are you doing? Has the soft drizzling caught up to you too? I hope work has not been too tiresome and I look forward to listening to the rest that you assured me you would take. My week has been a bit eventful, dull but like I mentioned earlier, there is an odd sense of comfort in monotony. 

    Of late I have learnt that not really paying attention to the opinions that others presume of you really makes a difference. Minding one’s own business is an art, an art many inquisitively meddling human beings cannot seem to grasp. Its fairly simple, get yourself a set of blinders like the ones on a horse and you are good to go. I also came to know the long-lasting effects of instant pleasures. Things that we think are a spur of the moment happening, certainly has an effective impact. For me, that pleasure, was food. A lot of us tend to attach emotion to food. 

    As someone who lives to eat, its hard to disassociate attaching such heavy emotions to food. Why do I do that you might wonder? Well food has never failed me. People have failed me, but food? Food has never failed me. This has clearly been the year of change, and as I promised myself, I am working on me. Not for anybody else but for me to finally be able to say well I did it.  The past few weeks have been a series of warm hugs, belly laughs and a lot of pictures. Spending time with friends, family and surrounding yourself with good energy really uplifts your mood. 

    Though life seems bleak at times, there is still a ray of Sunshine to hold. On that note I really appreciate your presence in my life, the way we make each other laugh, the way we can effortlessly be delulu together, the way you give off golden retriever energy and all I can think of is how happy and blessed I am to have you in my life. So here is me, sending you a warm hug through this letter, for constantly motivating me, loving me through the darkest days and completely. I may not always be there a 100% but I promise to have your back no matter what. I will always carry our love in a photograph, and be thinking of you.

Do let me know Sunshine, if you head out to watch a crappy movie, please spoil it for me I am always open to a good laugh. This may be a short letter this time, but I promise, my love and affection for you will always be as deep as the pockets in my dads shorts.

-         XOXO

P.S this letter has nothing to do with penguins other than the fact that I love them.

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 ...
