Lost and Found Myself

Fourteen years ago, the idea of me discussing flawlessness, ignorance, and stupidity would have seemed far-fetched. I could never imagine stepping into the same river twice; it's a constant flow, with each moment shaping a unique and ever-changing version of ourselves. Yet here I am, bidding farewell to an older self that didn't comprehend respect, love, and much more.

Today, this year bids its final goodbye. I embark on an exhilarating rollercoaster ride down memory lane—a journey that's reshaped me into an entirely different being. Frankly, the person staring back at me in the mirror seems like a reset button was hit on my personality, minus the instruction manual.

Imagine this: after avoiding my reflection for an eternity, I finally confronted the mirror, only to have it reveal a catalog of my past ignorance and insecurities. It was akin to reliving an old sitcom, cringeworthy moments and all. Note to self: ignorance doesn't lead to bliss; it just breeds awkwardness and regret.

I used to mingle with individuals who championed disrespect as a trend. I lost the dearest ones who would do anything to make me happy; instead, I was unsure how long this would last. I tried to win over the wrong crowd.

But hats off to me—I'm trying to erase every memory tethered to that outdated version of myself. I'm decluttering my life —keeping joy from my memories or hitting the road! Even my dreams are undergoing renovation; there's no room for that archaic weirdness.

Amidst this, I clutch onto memories like cherished sitcom reruns, such as traveling without a ticket to surprise visits. Am I evading reality? Perhaps. But who wouldn't cozy up in a nostalgia blanket when the present feels like an unpredictable script?

Before assuming this is the grand finale, let me clarify—it's not a season wrap-up; it's the beginning of a quirky sitcom spinoff. It's an eccentric journey with plot twists, resilience, and an unforeseen desire to relive the missed moments.

So, "New Me Show." has arrived.

Catch you on the flip side; we laugh together, and I'm not tearing up—I'm just reveling in the madness of this ride alongside you. We'd laugh daily if I had the wit and courage to dive into this craziness sooner. Better late than never! Let's revel in this crazy journey together.
