It’s been 1 full year, 52 weeks, 365 days and 8765 hours (I
googled that) and it still feels like yesterday.
Yet another benchmark in my life and I had to write about
it.
In this one-year of married life, there have been days of
pure bliss and happiness but also days of sadness and loneliness, days of pure
fun and adventure but also days of laziness and sleep, days of celebrating
success and achievement but also days of depression and frustration.
I have gone through zillions of emotions in this past one
year. And in a way, life is an amalgamation of emotions right? So I guess
marriage has definitely strengthened my EQ.
It’s been a year of change, Well, I was kind of prepared for
it, but was not prepared for such a drastic CHANGE . From a selfish, self absorbed,
pampered girl to a loving wife.
It’s been a learning experience, where in I have struggled
in the kitchen to prepare a simple edible meal for Mr beau. Where I have
realized that there is big big difference between romance and love. Romance is
something which is sooo filmy, fun and glamorous. Romance is a great candle
light dinner, but the actual bliss and love is when extreme hunger strikes and you
still want to share a single slice of pizza with your partner.
There have been days where I have screwed big time
embarrassing Mr beau just to seek some attention, and learned that how
important it is to forgive and forget. Where I have experienced loneliness, and
have realized how important family and friends are in one’s life. Where I have
learnt that it’s not easy to be a homemaker and it requires a lot of planning
and what not. (It’s a big big chore to go do your grocery shopping every month). I have developed a sudden level of respect
for all our moms who have excelled the art of being a homemaker, without
expecting anything in return. Where I have learned to keep a track of your
finances and art of managing money (it sounds easy, but believe me, its
actually a task).
There have been moments of inspiration and spirituality too.
There have been moments of sudden burst of knowledge, ideas and a feeling of
being intellect. Rather say it’s been a creative and a year of revelation of
truth, a new dimension in life.
Well, I was just so blessed to share all the above with Mr
Beau and most of it was taught by him.
When I was single, I definitely was more in a state of being
free, had the choice to do anything, anytime, no responsibilities, basically life
was very light and carefree but marriage has given me moments of immense satisfaction
with oneself which I wonder I would have experienced when I was single. Marriage
is something, which is so delightful and if you want to evolve as a person you
should experience it.
So far it has been a lovely journey “A Year of Togetherness”.
I’m sure the years ahead are going to be a lot more different and lots of change. I guess all we need to do is just EXPLORE!
HAPPY 1st TO US
