A Hundred Days Of This - Day 100

Where did all the 99 days flew by? 

Damn, I have so much to write about in this particular post and I am at a loss of words. A Hundred Days of showing up, even when I had zero energy and creative space, even when I was sick or had exams, even through the tears and happiest days. I did show up for myself. And that is all I wanted from this little experiment. (Okay, I did miss a few days but I will not hold myself against it) 

Writing for me has always been the eigenquestion. I put my thoughts down on a paper or in a blog post et voila! Clarity makes its way into my life. Somewhere down the line I gave up on writing and that did mess up my mind quite a bit. But now I am pretty sure I can handle things better. Being consistent does not always have to be perfect, it was all about reminding myself that we only put one foot in front of the other and keep walking without thinking twice. 

I used to check the page view count earlier just to see how many are reading the post. The result did not matter after a couple weeks. I had to do this for myself. To tell the monkey in my brain that I do not have to fight against it, we simply have to work together to get to where we want to be. And we are here. Day 100! Crazy, right?

It would not have been possible for me to be writing this on my own. Amma was reading all the posts and discussing them with me. Sree Lakshmy would always ask why did I not write when I skipped a day. (Dolly, thank you so much for that!) Sharmakka constantly pinged with a "why don't you write about this?" And Uday, thank you for reading all my posts. Special mention to the best friend for life, Aditya, who only said "whatever it is, you have to keep writing".

Even if it was a single line that I wrote, I was glad it did not come from a chat bot, and I am okay with any mistakes I might have made too. My writing still needs a lot of improvement as does every skill. This monkey has become a lot more patient too these days. Let us see where that will take me from here. Finally, thank you, for sticking up until this post. Celebrating this small win together feels great! Until the next post, keep reading whatever keeps your monkey mind doing its usual monkey business.

For one last time, that's Day 100 for you!
