“Growing up in itself is hard.” - A good friend, Sharon, consoled me when I was messed up. It made me ponder over how my life has changed over the past few years - how much and how well, or worse, have I grown. Graduating and moving to a faraway city for a job - this was the biggest turn. Living on my own was a true test of myself - a real introspection on my personality, (in)capabilities, priorities, ideologies, and more. Learning that I’m over-aged while applying for government exams made me realize that I’ve moved to a new phase of life, running out of over 33% of my (hopefully long) life. I don’t yet know what it is, but it has cast a shadow of adulting anxiety on me.
2024 - The best I could’ve asked for
If life is a school, 2024 was my “Life-skills” class. One thing it taught me - keep moving forward; even if you’re in darkness, you just need to take your next one step. There will be light at the end of the tunnel. And some pursuits - you have to take them alone, because you’re destined for it.
Life takes turns
Running a race of 10 lakh people, and trying to not be the rat in it, was yet another turn I took in 2024. This has been yet another test - cognitive, emotional, and physical.
Relationships with people have maintained an equilibrium - lost touch with some and got some new connections as I had to catch up with my current race.
What 2025 comes with
2025 is gonna be more decisive in the course - more adventures and even more lessons. My only new year resolution is to post more blogs here (Something that I’ve been consistently procrastinating since the past four years!).
Cheers to 2025 - hoping for a better world!
