It’s been almost two years since I have been living here in Toronto. It feels like a surreal experience that you get to know your life better when you have to do everything by your own. This is what adulting is in my opinion. You get to meet different kinds of people. One, who are constant in my life (& you know who you are 😉) and some other temporary people, who are just passing, they are just there for me when they want to be, not the other way around. Now I like doing things for myself. I know what I can do and I cannot. Well, cannot is a big word. It’s just a matter of time that a person can practice about that they “cannot” do and they can accomplish.
This is for them who think they are alone in this but you are not alone in this, my friend. We are all in the same messy world that we have created. Just smile in the mirror and I hope you will feel good. You are creating a beautiful world for yourself and the people associated with you. Though there will be an initial struggle for a period of time and after that struggle you will be so surprised by what you have achieved till date. You will feel proud about that. I think living by your own makes you mentally stronger. It has personally made my temper to be in check. People ask me that you are always smiling or we don’t see you angry but that is not true, I have a temper threshold. Whatever happens between that threshold I can easily move on but If you get on my nerves badly, I will do your “Happy Diwali”. Moreover, I feel like I would be spoiling my relations with people who are close to me If I get mad at petty things. Sometimes I feel like petty things should be ignored. I should not dwell on that. Life is short, my love. So apologize, hug and move on.
