After being such an active blogger last year, I seem to have lost momentum. There hasn't been much to write about either. I did not want to put up a half-hearted post. I want my blog to be my happiness journal, one which lets me relive the beautiful moments of my life. I have always been a cheerful person. My beloved Josephine miss used to say "She is such a happy child. Always smiling.." And that's exactly how I was. I do not remember being sad or angry for too long. I never gave anybody the power to control my emotions. I kept friends at arm's length. My family was the start and end of my world.
But growing up comes with its own set of challenges. Work related stress, social commitments, peer pressure. Involuntarily, my default setting changed to anxiety. From a person who never lingered in the past, I changed to someone dreading the future. These days, I feel like the entire load of the world is on me. Being independent is in my nature, so the constant need for support keeps creating an internal conflict. There is never peace of mind. However, I did feel a bit thrilled when I noticed that I have a pretty good RBF now ;)
So, when my sister said I should resume writing again, the first thought that came to my mind is that I must get in touch with my old self. And what better way than making a list :P
Present me, come meet the past me. Here is some random trivia about me which will help my rediscovery journey in no way! Will keep adding more as I remember/notice.
