Goodbye 2020!

Finally, we are here! The end of 2020. What a year this was!

Needless to say, when I wrote a post welcoming 2020 at the end of last year, I had no fricking idea this is how it was going to turn out. So much so that I’m now apprehensive about writing a post to welcome 2021 this time.. 😆

So, today’s post is just a quick look back at the year that was.

If you are thinking what else could be the highlight of the year but Coronavirus, let me tell you, despite that looming, omnipresent threat, it was not the highlight of the year for me.

A Fork In The Road

Alternatives. Options. Choices. 

It seems like a good thing having them in life, no? Who wouldn’t want that? Where you had one thing earlier, now you have more. Where you could do something one way only, now you can do it in different ways. In general, having alternatives seems beneficial, a good situation to be in. Problems of plenty, right? 🙂

Scared To Be Happy

“I’m scared to be happy.”

I had heard variations of this in the movies. Didn’t think it was ridiculous, but it never really touched or connected with anything either. Until now.

The past few months have been disappointing. I know I have my family, my health, a job, a house, food on the table – all that one could need to survive, or even thrive. I know that I should be grateful for what I have, as most of the people in the world don’t even have half of those things. And I am.

It’s just that “needs” and “wants” are different beasts. And the things that I’ve been really wanting and hoping for, have not been happening, while things that I was not expecting, or looking forward to, have been. 

So, despite all that I have, I’ve been staring disappointment in the face one day after the other – at work, in personal relationships, finance, health – you name it. 

There have been moments of joy too. But overall, I haven’t been having the best of times these past few months. 

Until today#.Read More »
