Don't want to go home today!

I don't feel like going home today. My shift will get over in an hour's time and I am hoping for a miracle to happen. Do miracles really happen, sometimes I feel yes and other times I feel they don't.

In the morning when I reached office, I went to restroom to wash my face. Before coming out of the restroom I looked into the mirror to examine my face and clothes. Then I picked up my handbag and while picking up my handbag I realized something was missing. My gold ring wasn't there, I checked all my fingers but it wasn't in any of them. I looked on the floor in every direction but there was no sign of it. You feel egregious when you lose something expensive, I had felt the same. When I didn’t find it anywhere, I decided to call home to check if I had dropped it there, but then someone whispered in my ear and asked me to check the trash can. I did that, I felt a little disgusted to put my hand into a trashcan that was kept in a public toilet but I don't regret because I found my ring in there. It was in the tissue paper with which I had dried my hands. I felt so lucky and thanked God. It was like a miracle.

I can tell something that happened but not that never happened. So the incident that I mentioned was about sometimes when I feel miracles happen and about other times I can only say that this phase of my life is full of those other times when I doubt they happen.

Letter to Future You!

An idea is all that you need to start writing. I am going to turn 25 in few days, so I was surfing internet seeking ideas for celebrating my 25th birthday but then I came across an interesting blog. So I thought of writing my own.

While reading that blog I realized that we are changing every second, a part of us dies every second! I heard it somewhere and I'm sure many of you would be aware of it that in X years (not sure how many) all the body cells are replaced with new cells. Which means you are replacing a part of you every second with something new.  Does that mean our thoughts, beliefs, values, principles; habits, etc. are also changing? Now as they say Change is the Only Constant.
All these mind boggling thoughts reminded me of a letter I wrote to myself 5 years ago when I had started working. I was madly in love with a movie star then and I believed that a day would come when I would be able to live all my dreams. The belief was so strong that I thought I knew my future. But I was no God so I also had the moments of doubts, so I thought of penning down everything. I am an extreme introvert so I could obviously not share anything with anyone, so I decided to share my dreams with myself rather Future Myself.
Now this is the reason that pushed me to write this blog. I have read the letter just few minutes ago. Honestly, I was flabbergasted to read that letter, you know why…because I always say the world can change but not I.  That’s is not true, I have changed, I should rather say drastically changed. How I know it? The letter that I wrote to myself had a quiz. There were three questions that I had to answer without checking the answer that I had written then. So I did it and when I compared the answers I realized my way of thinking has taken a 180 degrees turn.
Would you want to see how much you change in the next few years? Do this...click on the link below and write what you want to tell to the future version of you, key in the date when you want to receive the email back. Wish you luck! :)
