Content.

Life is made of bits and pieces. So if you look at the various pieces in your life, you will see that you are happy with some and not so happy with the others. The problem is, we tend to focus more on the others most of the times. We try our best to make the imperfect parts of our lives perfect and thus waste the happiness that the near-perfect ones try to give us. 
Sometimes letting go is a wise choice. It may not seem so that moment, but in the long run, you'd be glad that you made that choice. Letting go is not easy. But when you let go, it feels free. Letting go of emotions, of the past, of some people, some incidents, mistakes, judgement. Starting afresh. Being open to the idea of newness. Embracing change.
I've never wanted a monotonous life. That same old boring schedule, those same people I've been with all my life, walking those same roads, feeling those same feelings. Na, never wanted that. But if there's no constant in life, then the presence of change goes unnoticed. 
I love surprises. The idea of not knowing something, of not having to take tension before it actually happens, of not PLANNING, that idea totally seduces me. I want to wake up everyday and wonder who I'll meet today, what new thing I'll learn today. I want to sleep every night with the satisfaction that I learnt, that I felt, that I experienced, that I lived.
And presently, right here, right now, I can say without a doubt, that yes, I'm living. And I feel good.
