Unwrapping 2022

Hi, as the year ends my social media feed is filled with wrap up posts and pictures of people. Well, I don't think it is possible or even necessary to wrap up 2022 as it ends. So a few things come to my mind as I think of the year, some accomplishments and a lot of failures. Read further if you're interested.

January was the month of COVID as I was infected with the omicron virus and the poor health continued for the entire month.

February, I decided to do something about the prolonged lethargy and went for a run, almost daily. It was the first time in my life I stuck by a physical activity and actually enjoyed it.

March, the running continued till mid of the month and then I got serious about the upcoming exam. I don't remember anything significant from that time.

April, a little workout here and there. Cleared an important stage of an exam.

May, worked hard for the exam, slept for 4-5 hrs daily on an average

June, devastated after giving the exam. But i decided to focus on a family function. Results came and I cleared the devastating exam.

July, August and September were the most tiring months of my life. I was completely burnt out at the end. Also, cleared a quite important exam in its entirety which gave me the job i am currently in.

October and November were a bliss. I joined a gym for the first time in my life, started this blog, read some books, relaxed. I was happy.

December gave some of the happiest and most proud moments to my family, and the worst failure to me. But I entered the career i always wanted to pursue. Also, second season of my podcast was initiated a few days ago. I begun a new phase of my life this December and I've mixed feelings about it.

Quite an exhaustive account that was! Sounds like a wrap up of the year, but no it's not.

My anxiety will go with me into the next year. 😅

I had quite a few on and off relationships with people. I doubted all the decisions I have taken since the past 7 years. I questioned myself innumerable times. I cried till i could cry no more. I got hurt numerous times, majority of which was self demolition, but people too contributed generously. I did not write even a single good poetry this year, i was not able to finish the book I started reading. 

So there were more downs than there were ups, more sad days than happy, more blank expressions than smiles. And it's okay

I'll take all this with me to the new year because these remind me that I never stopped trying and I never will.
