We are on the last day of another year which seems to have passed too soon (Don’t we feel this way about every year? 🙂 ) and I realized it has also been 2 years since I created this small little place of mine on the internet. However inconsistent I may have been in posting here during the last year, I now have a clearer vision of what I want to write about in the coming years. And obviously, I’ll strive to be more consistent 😛 But all that aside, I also realized how much I missed creating something every now and then and how much joy it gave(and still gives) me.
I spent the whole of this month in India, a proper vacation after almost 4 years where I was forced to unwind and rest. This gave me the much needed detox from all kinds of media. I reconnected with people that were once close to me and then lost touch owing to adult life. I met so many old friends which rekindled my once carefree adolescent memories. I ate my heart out. I made some major life decisions. And at the end of it all, I came back to the US feeling the most rejuvenated and the most grateful that I’ve ever felt in all these years.
I wanted to write this post before the end of this year because this place is like my personal diary and it would be a sin to not log my feelings about the best year yet. Strangely, I think I feel this way at the end of every year, my heart overflowing with gratitude and happiness about all that happened in the past year. And isn’t that the best feeling ever? To end the year on a high note? Of course there were moments I didn’t feel in my element, but that’s just how life is. And if anything, life has taught me that it is enjoyed best when you learn to accept the truth, in this particular line from Passenger’s let her go – You only know you’ve been high when you’re feeling low 😀
So on that note, I wish all of you very happy new year and I sincerely thank each and ever soul that takes the time to read my ramblings 🙂 I’ll see you again soon ❤
Until next year,
Mal
