Being alone in the city for almost 1 year now has made me realise more about myself that I knew in the past 34 years of my existence.. one of the few things I learnt about myself was that I am perfectly comfortable and capable being on my own.. while loneliness would sometimes strike, it would go away fairly quickly and would go about my merry life watching Netflix and sipping cups of chai!

Today I ended up making a new friend, someone I met through some friends back home in India and I walked back from aa very hearty lunch, I had a revelation.. I can only be friends with people who have no dependency on me in any way, shape or form. What I have begun to appreciate in people is the ability to be absolutely open and honest about who they are and accept it personally and publicly.

I appreciate honestly and vulnerability over all else and appreciate the time I get with people. I do not want anything and I have nothing to give but I promise that the time I get with people I call my friends, I will give my all and be in the moment but what will happen after.. who knows.

Till later!
