DAY 297 (Social sickness)

So I have been having this “social sickness” for a while now. It’s funny that before the pandemic, life was so occupied that we didn’t have time to breathe from the social life. Going to office was itself a fully social day. 

It has been a good isolated run for a year and a half, with a bonus of being away from people, travel, traffic and mechanic routine. There is just one routine now.. the crazy routine ! 

But slowly it so happened that we got so caught up in the crazy routine that there was no time to be social even over phone calls and video chats. And now, when there is a day that seems to have an hour to be able to talk to someone outside the 4 walls.. I realised I am unable to find any. There are some whom I could never give time and now they don’t have time for me, and there are some who couldn’t give me time then or now and there are some who are there and I am here but I don’t know what to talk. So basically it ended up having this weird sickness called social sickness.

So now that I don’t have anyone to get over this sickness, I chose few “things” to help me out. Read double, start listening to a podcast, run more frequently, spend time over things that seem handy.. like work.. always handy and plenty !

But a humane touch is something else. Then I talked about it with my husband (who has the solution to everything in the world always!). So once again he came to my rescue and taught me to move on from what I can’t get to what I have ! 

We are going to travel to my sister’s wedding in a couple of months and that’s gonna make me wanna be unsocial again .. that’s a ray of hope! 

We booked tickets to visit our friends at the end of the year .. which seems promising. 

So now I am taking one day at a time, one person at a time, one sickness at a time and trying to fly through this weird phase. 

And well, it’s my birthday month (yay!) and I was supposed to start celebrating and keeping myself happy and pampered from the first day of the month but then there were love lost and sickness found so I am just left with 2 days. Every year from past few years it has been happening that my most exciting time of the year goes away with a fart for some or the other stupidity that I do… but there is still hope as long as there are days left even though it’s just 2 days coz as I said.. I am taking one day at a Time ! Cheers to that ! And happy advance birthday to me 😄
