Journal 21.10.2024 4.17 pm Literature and life

Dear Journal,
Literature is the balm for my soul. There I find not only inspiration but meaning to survive, live and love.
I talk to a few different kinds of people each day. People are all different like the different elements of Nature, each with its own qualities and graces.
Sometimes it is difficult to appreciate each being but the effort is in that direction. I am reading the Book of Nanak by Navtej Sarna. 
Guru Nanak was a divine soul who spoke the holy word of the Almighty.
I, on the other hand, am a common girl with a gigantic vow.
When I see people wrapped up in the flames of the pithy pits of hell my first thought is that my life should not become like theirs.
And then sometimes because I read exalted literature or may be because I ponder my heart goes out to them.
Life is not just for living, it is basically for loving. I love many people but may be I should reiterate, I love A.
I love my parents. I love my little brother. I love Sadhya. I love Eshna, Koala Bear, my friends. I live to love. Love is my sustenance, it's my way of life. And it sings many melodies, different tunes to the varied beatings of my heart.
Today I woke up from a crowded dream that I don't remember.
I did all my morning rituals, took a walk, did yoga and had a bath. I met NSji briefly in the morning. I hope he didn't feel that I was ignoring him.
I came home and finished my poetry book. It's up for review and I hope for a hassle-free opening. I know that all those who read it will love it.
Then I ate a stupendous fish curry with rice and sat and surfed the net, then buried myself into this book of Nanak.
Now after relaxing into this Journal, I will chant a little and then work on my novel.
Va Per said he'll drop in for a bit in the evening. He wanted to go out for dinner with me but I told him that I'm not up for it.
San Kan messaged that he wants to meet me for coffee. Now what does he want? I told him I'm busy, which I am.
This evening will unfold absolutely stupendously, I just know it. If only I could kick the blasted butt.
I am feeling:
A slight ache in my heart
Full of love
Feel like I've found my reason to be and to live
Grateful
Full of life
Eager to face the evening head on
Want to quit cigarettes easily
Happy that I finished my poetry book 
Happy in general
Eager to write an exemplary novel
I am grateful for my wonderful life with its beautiful experiences and people. I am grateful for God's infinite love, Grace and blessings on my life. I'm grateful that Arun replied to my message yesterday. I am grateful for his presence in my life.
I am feeling nice and loving and loved and oh so grateful for my life.
Love,
Me.
