I don’t know if this makes sense, but you’re my hallelujah
Give me a time and place, and I’ll rendezvous, and I’ll fly you to it,
I’ll beat ya there
Girl you know I got you
Us, trust
A couple of things I can’t spell without you
Chance the rapper(Song: As long as you love me)
*knows the rap word to word*. I dare you to challenge me to a rap battle (the red Devil (that has a cute smile) emoji). Anyways previously the dark side of quarantine caught my feelings. (I will link that blog at the end…enjoyyy). But today let’s get the Shine, the Sun, The glitter, the bomb outfit, the positive attitude (#vibecheck) back. Till now the quarantine has been like a water slide- up, down, fast and risky. (crying because I miss the days I could go to the water park) . So life’s been pretty sick (not covid sick touch word, Winky face) till now. Got caught up in all types of emotions. I let the dark ones take over, the last time but not today. Let the bright yellow colour of happiness take over.
170 days of absolute nuisance (in a good way). The unbelievably required family time, the late night movies, the satisfied cravings because of our Chef moms and the beautiful time for self introspection. Just like a coin one side was pleasant and the other side not so wanted. The probability was equal (proud to be a maths student, the smiley face with Shades emoji).
Can you imagine I came across (on Instagram ofc) old friends who were “busy in their Hustle“. Would not lie it felt really nice. My favourite and most unexpected chat was with a person from my childhood. When I was very young (in 3rd grade I guess) my grandfather used to drop and pick me up from my bus stop. Not very far from my house a senior who went to school with me went along with us (on a scooter if you ask). So my grandpa used to drop her off at her place after school. A month ago, I got a text from an unknown account, and I decided to reply it coz my intuition wanted me to. I did not recognize but it was her.
She said “hey do you remember me?“. I said “no I am sorry who’s this?”. Then she introduced herself and told me about our past memories. I was shocked but extremely happy. I re-lived my childhood moments even if it were for an hour. You see people do remember the good that we do to them. It never goes unnoticed. She remembered me not even for a deed that I did but for something where she received love from. (I will cry again if I continue so let’s move on. Also I am a cry baby don’t judge me!! smirk face).
They say, everyone can understand love.
And oh my god! the amount of video calls that I attended in this quarantine can’t even equal number of glasses of water I have had in my entire life (not a thing you and I should be proud of. Let’s drink some right now, cheers). I am sure my phone was like “Bitch if you don’t keep me down now, I am gonna reset myself and go into hibernation I swear” RIP hot mirror selfies.
Dude I did not know I had so many relatives and cousins. It won’t be a lie if I said our elders had nothing better to do than… (if you know what I mean, you sneaky dirty b****). But I guess I felt good for a moment because I felt love. They talked to me in a better tone than my crush will ever will. (life advice: raise your standards, they are never too high).
I can proudly say that in these five months I have watched uncountable youtubers, instagrammers, snapchatters, wattpadders and so many content creators on other platforms (omegle if you know) (Winky face) and I realized how talented people can be. We fail to appreciate the finesse and dedication that these people display in their work. This motivated me to spend more time in quarantine, not to put out content just for likes but to move people’s heart (not literally). Promise me the next time you do something you will do it with all your heart, so that the other person feels it too. Pinky promise (now you can’t break it ever).
And don’t even get me started on the night time routine. Uhh hunn (denial) it ain’t the skin care routine, I am not a beauty Guru although their skin is just #flawless (channeling my inner Beyonce). Sleep schedule got f*cked up within a week of staying at home. And do you sleep all cuddled up with your pillow or a stuffed animal or are you normal? Don’t tell me I just spilled my secret.
Cuddles all the way (heart eye emoji)
I am sure you too must have made 10 to-do lists a day and completed none. But did you add up different tasks that you completed from those lists. Let me tell you that makes one full list of accomplishments. (Confetti drop) Sometimes you have to dig the good things up so that they can over shine the negativity. Yes we are uncertain about the time when things will be back to normal but what if till then we rather take our mental growth seriously. Get yourself alone in a room without that disturbing element in your hand and sit for 10 minutes everyday. This Quarantine has given us an opportunity to spend time with ourselves. Get to know oursleves better. Think about all the things you can do or improve about yourself. Think about the things that hold you back mentally. Then search for solutions.
You can thank me in the comments (laughing emojis)
This is the time you and I can get ourselves together (#slay). Ain’t no more crying over guys or girls, no more eating trash, no more feeling bad about yourself. You and I (you and I count=infinity) are the conquerors of our lives and we have no choice but to kill it (or win at whatevaa). Sometimes you gotta let the Instagram baddie inside you take control. (For effects you can put on an outfit too, you go my friend).
I have decided to stop right here otherwise I will have to write another 6 pages in my diary. But I will see you in the next part of this blog. Read what I said and let it sink in.
Until next time, Adiós amigos.
