A year ago, I was spending one
laid back evening at my sister’s place. What a simple way of welcoming a New
Year! Things have changed so massively in a year. 2015 has been quite
unpredictable, and on many occasions, it was disappointing and excruciating
too. No matter what I say, it has been a great learning experience.
I sit down to write this, with so
many thoughts in my head, and too many new songs in my playlist. I brood over
all the things that happened this year. It has been one disgusting year topped
with awful things. But, I've written down things that I learned this year.
Ø
People change. Things change. For good or bad.
You cannot expect things to be the way you want.
Ø
Books can give you more comfort than people.
Ø
Understood the true intentions of a few people,
who only wanted to manipulate me to get their way. I've never been this hurt
before.
Ø
Coffee makes you feel better. I have turned into
a bigger caffeine addict.
Ø
There are very few friends with whom you can
pick where you left. Glad that I got in touch with her this year.
Ø
To hate somebody doesn’t earn you anything. I’ve
let go off people this year for what they have done to me. Believe me, I have
made peace with myself by forgiving them. Appreciated them for what they
taught. Good and the bad.
Ø
A flame vodka shot can make you dance nonstop
for three hours. Duh!
Ø
It takes a lot of guts to do what you actually
want to do and I make sure I do it. Without bothering about what others would
say or what the society would think.
Ø
The first quarter of the year saw me indulge in
baking. The satisfaction that I get in baking a new recipe or shopping for
myself is something else altogether.
Ø
Goa is such a laid back place that it makes you
lazy as well.
Ø
Friends are the best things in the world.
Chocolate and vodka come real close.
Ø
Saw the true colours of certain people and
realized that they were poisoned all along.
Ø
I have absolutely no regrets. What ever happened
and whatever will happen, happens for a reason.
Ø
Made mistakes, took it positively and learnt
from them. Of course a mistake doesn't start of being well, a mistake. It is a
normal activity or emotion that goes wrong somewhere due to various reasons. Making
mistakes only make you stronger. And for God's sake never make them again.
That's foolishness and you'll be in trouble forever.
Ø
Now, that I have realized my mistake, I would
never go back to that road again. I had had to know where to draw the line. Now
I do. If this had not happened to me, maybe I wouldn't have ever realized it. I
guess, this is God’s way of teaching us.
Ø
Also realized that you do anything in the
background, it shall be accepted. Even if it is the wrong thing. Do it in front
of everyone and then hell breaks loose. Even if it is the right thing.
Phew! I had a tough time listing
out these things, and most of them do not make any sense. But this year has
just been hard, you know?
Thanks to everyone who were with
me in this mad year. Also, the ones who weren't with me. Huge thanks. No. I am
not being sarcastic.
