Every
Beginning has an end, every end has a beginning, but it’s what ensues in
between is of most importance. My husband thought that I should be writing
about the year gone by, all the good things that we experienced, the new skills
we learnt, whether it’s going back to the hobbies we had or new ones acquired.
My husband and I are naturally attuned to remembering all the good things which
we experienced, conveniently bypassing uncomfortable moments. He recently told
me that people have stopped ‘forgiving’ and its disturbing. I also learnt that
something’s need to be ignored and they are not worth getting affected due to
these little, insignificant things.
We learnt
what it is to be a family, how to stick together when in dire situations and
when to let go. We learnt that grudges are best resolved when there’s open and
direct communication and that it’s better to confront rather than keep
wallowing in your own doubts and complaints.
We learnt
that our life is ours to decide which path we want to choose and what shape we
want it to take. Life throws many options at you and people around you try to
dump their unfulfilled wishes on to you, it’s important to know what’s closer
to your heart and stick through your decisions. We learnt to always listen to
our intuitions, that initial judgments are almost always right!
We learnt
the importance and the sheer fulfillment which hobbies bring to our lives, the
sense of accomplishment when you do the thing you’re good at, the ability to
create something which people can appreciate, which you yourself can appreciate
is absolute bliss!
Hopes,
disappointments, loneliness, confusions, triumph, celebrations,
accomplishments, like every year this year too had its highs and lows, what
matters now is how we move forward from here.
Life, we’re ready to face you head on, and with the people in our lives,
things just get a tad bit more interesting!
