There's been a shift in temperature and the desert is now wrapped up in winter. It gets cold and wet here, its been drizzling in the nights. Still, the fact that winter is here, re-ensures that Christmas is right around the corner. Yes, i'm trying (my best) to be blind to the obvious birthday looming ahead. Today is my last day as a 24 year old.
I've noticed, that almost every year, I've been excited to turn a year older. and every year, I look back and love the year that's gone by. I couldn't wait to turn 18, but I loved being 17! I couldn't wait to turn 24, but I loved being 23! Can I say the same about this last year? I think I can, except for the part where I wait to turn 25.
To sum up the last year, I began in Bangalore. A phonecall from Ben singing Happy Birthday at 5am kicked it off and within 48 hours I was the happiest I'd ever been, with an incredible feeling about the year that was to come. I came back home, after a transfer and reconnected with Rohit. Then 2009 began. It pushed my strength to new limits. I lost a guru, a friend, my father and a few more family members to mortality. I found love and companionship in an amazing woman, who I promise to be friends with forever (or else... ). I have reconstructed my relationships with my mother and sister and have broken relationships that were unhealthy for me. I have grown as a woman and now have that unshakable foundation that makes me.
The last few days have given me the opportunity to mend fences, to find some more strength and understand divine forgiveness and unconditional love a little more. I've also learnt to trust intuition and have reconnected with my cards. I am thankful for the basic skills we are born with and promice to fine tune them some more this year.
Still in desertland, where the sand is fine and the money is expensive; I cannot believe I have to pass up the opportunity to party with fun-tastic women to go do other stuff. But then, i also get to give a voice class and hang out with the pretty girls (who dislike being called way WAY underage... ) I love them, by the way. Its the calm before the storm right now. I'm writing this while watching the news. I cannot believe my eyes as I watch the Peace Prize Ceremony. They're giving it to Obama??? Really?? Why? Esperanza Spalding is absolutely stunning as a cellist and a jazz vocalist. awesome! All in a day, the good with the weird.
I'll meet you on the other side of 25. Wise words anyone?
