It’s nearly midnight, and I have a roaring headache right now, but what better time than to show up at a place after suddenly vanishing for about a month than midnight? So, here I am, penning down my thoughts and trying to ignore the hail and brimstone going on in my head.
It’s been a minute, and while I cannot particularly say that I missed being here, I can say for certain that I’ve missed writing in a not corporate or academic space. You get to appreciate creative writing more after more than a month of writing everything but...
Now, I did think I had something to share, but let me paint a picture in your head. Of that friend that you’d been longing to meet, who you had stories to regale with, and “tea” to dish, but because it takes a minute to see this friend, and the stories have piled up, when you eventually meet said friend, you just stare at them. Suddenly blank. Not knowing what to say or where to start from.
So, a lot has happened, and while I do have a thousand and one things to share, I can’t afford to info dump on you, so I’ll just take it one at a time, and take each story as I go. It’s more interesting that way, and gives us all something to look forward to, doesn’t it?
I also realized something a couple of years back about the type of pressure the new year brings. Which is why most of our new year resolutions fail and we’re back to old ways and habits barely two weeks in. It’s way too much pressure. To do things differently. To be better, and all of that.
So, I had to smother that mind that said I return to Hive at the start of the new year, and instead come back not on the first of December as would have been ideal or the first of January, but a random day like the third. So, you see, no pressure.
Anyway, this isn’t supposed to be a particularly long post, and honestly, if not for my friend who’d been occasionally asking when I’d return, I probably would have skipped another day writing this. Procrastinated till tomorrow or something. But I just wanted to say that from books to movies, corporate life and everything in between, I do have a lot to share.
And because writing is as therapeutic for me as it is invigorating, I hope to enjoy every step of this. No matter the outcome. Wherever you are, and in whatever time zone you find yourself, have a wonderful day, and please, make the most out of every moment.
P.S: I thought the headache would have fled by the time I’m done writing this, but I guess the head ache, just like me, has mastered the art of resilience. Ciao.
