A Year just passed by... Should I feel any different ? The day started just the same, Apart from a changed date on a calendar nothing changed. I am the same person, I was a day before. My problems stayed the same, My friends stayed the same, My life.. Stayed the same. Among numerous wishes on social sites and personal messengers, I was unable to see the reason to celebrate. Should I feel different? The question made me ponder.. what exactly happened last year. I made mistakes.. I made poor choices, decisions.. I hurt people.. I hurt myself.. I felt disgruntled and dissatisfied.. Achievements seemed less.. goals seemed far.. Should I feel different? Where are my six pack abs? Where is the book with my name as an author? Why my passbook is still un-stamped? Where is the website I wanted to make? Why my dreams… still dreams? The more I pondered, the failures compounded. Immature actions, un-thoughtful reactions. Misunderstandings, Ego clashes, Harsh words, Inability to act, or hurried actions.. Laziness, Inhibitions.. The more I pondered.. The more I wondered… These inner demons still inside me.. Should I feel any different? This minor pause in the never ending time… a small bump on the journey of life.. A look back.. Then a message on my Whatsapp read “Today is the first blank page of the 365 pages book, write a good one!” A fresh gusto rushed into my veins.. A zest to change.. A profound sense of being back to the drawing board. Should I feel any different? --- Yes.. An inner voice said. I was right.. about my mistakes, my unfulfilled dreams, about my inner demons.. I was wrong.. in my actions, decisions, reactions.. But it doesnt mean I can’t be better.. It doesnt mean I did nothing to make my dreams turn to a reality.. I did write a few chapters.. my friends loved it. I did read books.. some amazing ones in fact. I did explore places.. and many they were. I did learn.. new skills, to read people better, to be a good person. I did make friends.. and good ones indeed. I did apologize.. sometimes they worked sometimes they didn’t. I did work out.. and fitness became my mantra. I did help people.. and helped me to. I did fight my inner demons.. sometimes I won.. sometimes I didn’t. Should I feel any different? YES ! I am not much changed from the person I was yesterday.. But I am completely changed from the person I was yesteryear.. I might not be there where I wanted to be… BUT I AM CLOSER TO IT THAN THE YESTERYEAR. I am feeling different.. I hope you will too… WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR
