A new me?
24 September location unknown
Well, it's about time I updated this blog. I guess the reasons for not having been diligently updating were 1)busy 2)lazy 3)I honestly have nothing to talk about. Ok the 3rd one is not true. To rephrase that, I mean I haven't felt the need to air any grievances, though I might have some happy news to share.
Well, I have been as busy as ever, with school work and part time gigs, but essentially, I am now a different person. How so?
I have quit smoking. I have started practicing Buddhism. Most significantly, I have met an extraordinary guy. Is he the one? I don't know. Nothing in this world is certain. But I am smiling as I type this.
Did my bad habits go because of him? Not really. My life has suddenly taken an abrupt turn. And all these things happened at exactly the same period. It's amazing, this thing we call fate. I couldn't have been happier. The freedom I feel from quitting. The joy and peace in my heart. My renewed compassion for all beings. And most amazingly, the improved state of relations in my family. I dare say it was a miracle.
Life itself is nothing short of a miracle. Every breath we take, every meal we have, every step we walk. It's good to be alive.
(Writer's note: I haven't actually met the guy face to face, though this will happen real soon.)
