Things happen for a reason, and people come into your life for a reason. I always wanted a life with people who took care of me and treated me as a priority. When I am finally living that life, I am scared of them leaving because it will be super hard to get over them.

I never thought of someone ever loving me or taking care of me, but here I am with them in a room, enjoying my life to the fullest. Here is to the most memorable adventure of my life: starting it with the people I love.

The trip started when I landed in Delhi after 5-months of making rash decisions. It all began in 2022 with an attraction. The relationship started with all the fake promises in March, and as it grew, it ended on July 4, 2022. The happiness seemed to fade, and all the rash decisions were now in the making.

One of that decisions was leaving Delhi. My journey from Delhi to Mumbai began on August 25, 2022, and I never dreamed I would be working here. A life lived with unknown people in another state, away from my life which I built in Delhi. It all seemed glorious initially, but as the days passed, the loneliness started, and a series of things happened. I started clubbing to feel some control in my life.

I missed my life in Delhi, but the promise of not returning there before finding some peace was still lingering, and that promise made me wait for a whole 5-months. 

I left Mumbai on January 1, 2023, and since then, the journey is still going on. I will complete this chapter of my life and enjoy it while it lasts.

We all go through times when we want to escape. An escape from the people around us, an escape from our lives, and an escape from our very own selves.

For us, it is very easy to bind ourselves to work and leave our worries behind. At least for me, it is very easy. Even I needed that escape. I started everything from scratch in the hope of finding the lost me.

I tend to do that. All my life, I always kept myself busy in one way or another and refused to let those heavy thoughts take over me. But even I am not that strong… These thoughts are not something different. They are my part, and neglecting them brought negativity into my life.

So, after all the neglect and all the boundaries, I gave myself another chance. A chance to finally be who I am. A chance where I can write and a chance where I am the author of my own story.

We say that words can’t describe emotions, but writing is an escape for me. I also started writing as an escape, but now this is something I want to do. I enjoy it now. As time passed, this writing grew on me and became a part of me. 

Well, me ranting about writing is a never-ending saga. But I want to share that it is better to do what you love rather than make rash decisions in life. 

Everything has its consequences, and taking risks is a part of life. We all have made our share of mistakes, and if we are stuck on them, then when will we live? 

Life is like a roller coaster ride, a beautiful journey with ups and downs waiting at every turn. But as the ride ends, we all laugh our misery out. Some even cry like me, who are afraid to let go. But people like me need to understand that letting go is the only way to enjoy life.

If we hold grudges, they will only eat us and no one else. The procedure is very easy. All you need to do is believe in yourself and commit to loving yourself. That’s it. That’s when you start enjoying life rather than just living it.
