Me and My Attempts

I don’t know if you notice any of these things, but I’m over-scrupulous when it comes to doing things that concern you. Yes, you! Whether choosing the meme or a reel to send you or recommending any movie to watch, I always make sure to give you the best of my endeavours. I’m not saying that I haven’t done anything that doesn’t run parallel with your set of beliefs, but I do try to ebb my overzealousness that might have been irksome at times. I admit that my anger over trivial things bugs you often. I know I cuss a lot. I’m trying to curb this goddamn tongue — and I do that over texts as well; I’ll take care, but some words don’t seem to leave my vocabulary — like that P word! With two syllables — just like your name. Damn! Excuse me! Quite silly of me to mention this unnecessary information — the masculine urge to sabotage serious moments. But whatever! And Yes! Did Sagar tell you about the night out we’re planning for the weekend? I hope your parents permit you. I want you to be there. And did Prakhar apologise for what happened last night? I promise he won’t be there for any gathering or meet-up.

And Yes, there was this song. I guess I have shared this one — Finish Line by Stevie Wonder and Elton John.

“I been down the darkest alleys
Been to the bottom where the angels cry
Thought it had all been all for nothin’
Until I saw you at the finish line”

I love this chorus. It reminds me to cherish all the things I’m blessed with — as all these things are nothing but a part of a great, magnificent show — and we are the audience! And even the slightest blip under the roof of this foyer isn’t meant for nothing. See you!
