Journal 26.5.2023 12.45 am

Dear Journal,

I met Kali for a few beers. I kept quiet throughout because I was feeling self-conscious because of my ranting on Facebook.

I learnt so many things from him.

He is such a creative-minded, happy soul. He is so full of life. He is well-travelled and interesting. I'm blessed that I meet people who want to connect with me.

I learnt that my boss and a girl in the office are having an affair.

Love affairs that are truly solid are hard to find.

I want to take Ma and Pa to Europe, southeast Asia and Japan and Australia. May be even the US.

He even read my palm.

He said I'll make a lot of money.

Now, that's something to look forward to.

I've come back home late and Pa didn't call even once.

I feel a little guilty for not being able to spend time with my Shonapa.

I realise these days that I absolutely adore my family. I love my little brother to bits.

I'm so happy that I have such a sweet family. It's because of Ma and Pa  and their sweet nature that our family is so solidly grounded in love.

I'm truly blessed.

Advertising is a lot of showbaazi.

I'm such a lucky girl.

I've also been feeling that I'm not really special. Am I? I'm just like any other woman my age.

I miss my Dimmom and Dadu and Thama.

Hopefully, their blessings will always shine on me. Hopefully, the blessings of my ancestors will always remain.

Love makes the world go around.

It's a truly wonderful world. And I have so many things to be thankful for.

Good night sweet journal, my friend.

Writing this Journal makes me feel like I do have a blessed life.

I have so many things happening in my life.

I wish I could spend more time with my parents and my brother.

Love,

Me.

I am grateful for all the people who grace my life.

I am grateful for this wonderful beautiful life.

I am grateful for all my experiences, positive and negative.

I'm grateful for all the food I eat.

I'm grateful for my friends.

I am thankful that I'm showing dedication at work.

I am thankful that I'm healthy.

I'm thankful for discovering Glutathione.

I love my life. I love all my experiences. I love all the people who grace my life.
