So I didn't write anything the entire last year. One post I had written and not published because at that time, it was not shaping up to be something I wanted it to be. Today, I read the incomplete draft and just clicked 'publish' because that is a joyous feeling.
Last year has been the year when graph of quality went down on most aspects of my life, with a few upward happy spikes. With change in living situation, I saw myself moving from a lovely rented apartment to a sad makeshift paying guest accommodation. Not just the place, but the co-inhabitants too changed from an office colleague to I-can't-believe-these-idiots-are-working-professionals-because-who-would-hire-these-crybabies.
With changes in my organization, I had to part ways with my work friends' circle, my workplace and my work as such.
I have a place to go to sleep in and I am employed; but that's what personal and professional lives have been reduced to.
February did give me the opportunity to wear cute one-pieces as the emcee of an office event. Plus the opportunity to gift a plant to my brother and sister-in-law on their first wedding anniversary. I think plants are the best. I am not a pet person and cannot take care of other humans, but plants I love.
April did bring me the chance to attend closest cousin's wedding a.k.a. chance to wear Instagram-worthy clothes.
One of the summer months- do not know which- did introduce me to Duolingo, the app on which I have been learning Spanish.
July did get me felicitation from a top boss- another Instagram worthy picture with he and I twinning in baby pink :)
Speaking of baby, August did give me the most precious baby niece ever. She is an exceptional child because apart from her, and those Johnson Baby commercials' babies, that age group does not fancy me. Since August, my everyday has been spent talking to her or just looking at her pictures and videos. God bless you, Love.
With a general sadness at work and home, and a handful happy moments, 2018 came to an end.
2019 has started and all unfulfilled personal and professional goals of last year have rolled over to this calendar. Have already suffered an injury on left ankle, so things have 'kicked off' in style!
What I am continuing from 2018 is learning Spanish and what I discontinue is not reading a single book and not writing a single piece. On writing especially there are three motivations- my own guilt from past year, my father questioned why I have not written anything lately and a friend has penned her own comeback blog-post recently and she writes really well.
