wrapping up 2022 + prepping for 2023

-


It's officially been three years (almost) since I've started this blog page. WHAAT.

I started writing as a way of documenting my life, experiences,my feelings and I'm grateful that on the way I was able to garner a small audience's attention. So thank you and I wish you all a happy, wealthy (rich in experiences), and thrilling New Year!

I'm going to keep this blog short and simple and leave you to introspect and chew on your blessings, learnings and experiences.

2022 was a rollercoaster emotionally, but I'm grateful for being able to do what I want, to travel and to make timely decisions.

This year I enjoyed :

  • Taking trips and exploring places by foot or using local transportation and above all, meeting new people
  • Found my new love for trekking, I hope I can trek more in 2023

  • Documenting little snippets of moments I'll cherish for years to come

  • Creating mood boards and vision boards


  • Running

I've decided to count my blessings, and if you've made it so far, you should too.

2022 was a year blessed with cherishing memories, gut wrenching heartbreaks but above all, had the most eventful happenings of one's life like graduating, getting a full-time job, then quitting it, and learning to take it slow.

As for 2023, I can't wait for all the experiences, work towards what I want to have an appetite for life.

 Here's a mini-starter pack for 2023:

  • Vision Boards:
The idea of vision boards is simple, to remember, continually what you wish for and manifest it. I make my vision boards by picking out images that represent my goals for the year, quotes that align with that. Although, I print them and put it together in a scrap book, one can just save it as a wallpaper, or somewhere where you glance at least twice a day.

On the days you feel low, you'll remember what you're working for, towards and will help you keep going.

  • Calendars:
One thing I've started doing from 2020 is to create my own calendars, it's a fun way to get excited about the new year plus helps my pea-sized memory keep track of the things I'm supposed to remember.

You can access the calendar I've made for 2023 here( I've used the pictures I've clicked as the background) : 2023 Calendars
  • A new notebook:
Although this may seem arbitrary, new notebooks indicate new beginnings, so go on, scribble your plans, to-do's.

Writing makes you believe it's real.


I'm leaving you with a few things to start the new years by-

Things Nooone Tells You About Grief

For a while now, I've been trying to look for comfort in words. When I experienced loss, the kind of loss that shook my body away (literally) mentally and physically, I took my time to heal and more usually than not, I gravitated towards reading. Reading about someone facing familiar emotions and feelings kept me sane. I hope that this post helps you find comfort if you've ever experienced loss or are still trying to mend your heart.   There's a scar on my left leg and it has been that way for a while, something which I had developed recently due to let's say, carelessness. Everyday I took my time examining it, I realized  it changed colors but never turned better. I eventually stopped caring. But my loved one(who I lost, recently) made it a point to ask me how bad the scar was, everyday. After a while, when I started caring again, I looked over the scar, it got better.  I think grief is a lot like that,  it changes colors, takes it's time to heal  but even...

A little bit of today |A little bit of tomorrow Epiphanies and Reflections I've been trying to write for a while now, but I just couldn't.  I recently read something on Tumblr that helped me kick start writing. I'll link it here- Read this here It's been one month today. One month that I've lost another significant part of my life in a span of one year. It's almost funny how time flies by. The other day, I told my mum "The best and worst thing about life is that, it moves on."  It feels like life is on autopilot, whether we choose it or not.   Do we really move on or do we distract ourselves to maintain our sanity? A few months back, when I was redoing my room, I bought the glow in the dark stickers for the ceiling. It just reminded me of my childhood days and I'd have my own sky to stare at, at night.  I don't remember the last time I looked up at my ceiling and admired them.  I either read like there's no tomorrow or I don't read at a...

  One thing I absolutely love and spend most of my free time doing is finding new things- Art, Books, Music, Shows, Movies, Poems and I can go on and on and on. Most things I find are usually through Pinterest, YouTube Comments, Following a few YouTube Channels, Reading an Author’s Favorite or about his inspiration (Always a great way to find great art) . Here are a few things I’ve discovered this month so far- Music: Let’s start with something easy. I don’t really have a specific genre of music that I like but I think it could be broadly classified as Retro Chill or Vintage Vibe. This month I’ve Come across something a little different.  Halsey’s - “I'm not a Woman, I’m a god Halsey’s- “Girl is a Gun Cage the Elephant’s -”Cigarette Daydream” Lord Huron’s - “Long Lost” Honestly, I love the Lyrics of Halsey’s new songs, Makes me feel confident and powerful but Cigarette Daydream and Long lost have been playing on loop. Lord Huron’s have a sense of Calm and a weird sense of f...
