Miles to go before I sleep

In the last 22 years, I’ve moved 14 times. That’s more relocations than some people have hot dinners. Each new place has given me a treasure trove of memories—some are as vivid as my favorite TV shows, others are as hazy as a 3 AM infomercial. I’ve had homes I loved, ones I barely survived, and places that made me question all my life choices. 

I’ve eagerly anticipated some moves and dreaded others with the same enthusiasm you’d reserve for a dentist appointment. And here I am today—emotionless, like a robot with a broken circuit—ready to roll with whatever comes next. Living in the present is my new motto because life will embrace us, drag us to places, and teach us lessons whether we signed up for the course or not. And let’s be honest, every time I say, “I’ll never do that,” life just chuckles and says, “Hold my beer.” . 

While I can’t predict what the future holds, I’m ready to face it with open arms. And this all reminds me of the tune I’ve been humming since morning: “Aye zindagi gale lagale.” Bring it on!
