We are at the end of 2022; though there are two months to go. But ten months have passed so quickly. As I have said that this year was indeed a breakthrough in many ways as a lot has happened and here I am pursuing my current breakthrough; studying abroad.
It has been 50 days since I landed here and it feels like I have been here for so long. It is not only about being here but also about the previous events. A lot has happened this year and it feels like it all happened a long time ago. The year 2022 which I believed to be the Year Of Everything (and I still do) was filled with many breakthrough events and memories for myself and for many others.
My cousin got married at the beginning of the year. I caught up with my best friend thrice and also in Bangalore. I went to Manali this year in June to celebrate my birthday. I managed to catch a glimpse of celebrities here and there, etc. All these happened this very year but I feel that it all happened long back. Even the events that happened two to three years (or four or five) felt like so long ago and they have become Distant Memories and some of them are falling into the memory dump.
When I shared the thoughts with my cousin, she said that is because a lot is happening here that you don't really have time to sit down and think about anything. I agree with it. Being an over-thinker back home, now I don't have time to think about anything unnecessary or things that don't matter anymore. There I had a lot of time and was mostly idle and that is why I was reminiscing those memories back at college or with friends or former anyone. Now, I don't really think about anything or anyone back in the past and I think that's a very good sign.
You have got a lot on your plate that you don't think too much of what happened back then. I do remember things but it doesn't come vividly and that is what I want. And if possible, completely out of my mind. If not, they shouldn't indulge in my future or present life. That chapter is closed and I am way past many chapters. I don't want to think about the memories that expired a long time ago, but the dreams that I want to work on and turn into memories.
