(My birthday was on 8-feb, wrote it that day, but couldn't post it)
Today, I’m celebrating 23 years of life! Yes, it’s my birthday, and I thought it would be a great time to share a little about my life journey so far. It’s been a simple one, but it’s also been special in its own way.
I was born in Amritsar, Punjab, because that’s where my mom’s side of the family lives. After my parents got married, my dad worked there for many years. But when I was about 4 years old, we moved back to my parents' hometown, Tehri Gadwal. I have a sister who’s 4 years older than me. We fight a lot.
To be honest, my arrival wasn’t exactly the best news for everyone in my family. They were hoping for a son, but I got born, now everyone loves me,(not really). My sister always says that I’m the reason we moved to Tehri Gadwal. She jokes that my "planets" were the reason they ended up in this small town instead of staying in a more developed place. But deep down, I think they know how lucky they are to have grown up in Tehri. It’s such a peaceful place, surrounded by mountains and rivers, so beautiful. I lived there for 16 years, and it’ll always be home.
When it was time for my higher studies, I moved to Dehradun, though I didn’t fully shift,my parents are still in Tehri. I’ve been living in Dehradun for about 4-5 years now with sister. Funny, right? Now, I’ve completed my graduation in 2023 and started working. Simple story, right? Well, maybe it is, or maybe it’s not.
Honestly, I could’ve had more fun growing up, but I’ve always chosen peace over everything else. I’m not the type to party a lot. Most of the time, I’d prefer a quiet tea with my loved ones in a peaceful place. I’m not really into big social gatherings, but every now and then, I do enjoy a good party (though it’s been two years since I last partied). My choice, of course. Most of the time, I’d pick my bed over anything else, and I’m perfectly fine with that.
I’m not too emotional, but I can be a bit of an emotional fool sometimes. I’m kind, but not overly sensitive. I may come off as rude because of how I speak, but that’s just me. I’m usually happy, but I’m almost always annoyed by something. I hate people sometimes, but I still love interacting with them. I get irritated easily, but rarely get angry. I love jokes, but I really hate disrespect. People might think I’m an extrovert because I talk to everyone, but deep down, I’m an introvert. Trust is a complicated thing for me,I don’t really "trust" people, but I don’t care either. It’s all a bit confusing, but that’s how I am.
Looking back at these 23 years, I feel a mix of happiness and sadness. Time has flown by so quickly, and so much has happened. I’ve learned a lot, but the most important thing I’ve learned is this: happiness is in your own hands. No one else can make you happy; it’s something you have to find within yourself. That’s a lesson I’ve been learning and embracing more each day.
So, that’s a little about me. I guess I’ve shared a lot, but this has been my journey so far. Here’s to the next 23 years of growing, learning, and finding happiness wherever life takes me.
Goodbye for now!
