Living by myself* for 14 days

 Recently, due to some personal reasons, my parents had to go to Indore for 14 days so I had to move to my sister's house in Pune. This was something I always wanted and still do. I want to reduce my dependency on my parents. I felt very strongly about this till 9th December and was also in a bad mental condition because this was not happening. On Dec 9, I fell off my bicycle and my parents being here was a huge help. After that, I came to peace with the idea of living alone. There will be a lot of opportunities in the future for that.

When I stopped thinking about it, my mental health improved and the opportunity presented itself. Though I was not living ALONE, it still was a step up in my opinion. I won't say I was able to remove all of my dependencies but still, I learned things. The most important part was I came up with a routine of small chores to do when I came back from the office. 

It involved washing clothes, picking up dried clothes from the balcony, ironing what was required, washing my lunch box, etc. I read on Reddit that doing these types of chores and household tasks keeps away negative thoughts and it is right. In terms of food, I did make Maggi once under the supervision of my sister. Cooking food and cleaning; these two are major areas that I need to learn and come up with a routine but for now, this was okay. One of the things I didn't like is I was not able to use my cycle in any of these 14 days. My parents told me not to ride it in their absence. I know it doesn't make any sense but whatever. I had to spend on autos but peace of mind is more important than money.

Today is March 5 and I have officially restarted riding my bicycle after the accident. Although I rode it 3 times before also but let's not count those. Yesterday, I went from my Baner house to Pimple Saudagar to my sister's house. Today I went from her house to one of my cousin's houses in Wakad. And again from Wakad to my Baner house back. I also will be going to the office tomorrow on the bicycle.

I am noticing some more fading on my tattoo. I don't think it will fade anymore now in a short amount of time. Whenever I will get my next tattoo, I will get it re-inked.

I gave my Motorola phone to my mother and took her Realme for some time. I was very bored with Motorola and needed a break from that brick of a phone. Though the Realme one is old and slow, it has a small form factor and another SPECIAL FEATURE that will keep me hooked to that phone at least for some time.

I got myself a bicycle rider back (blue) playing cards. I will be expanding my collection now. I have my eyes on 3 particular decks but since they are expensive, I can only get one. Let's see which one I end up purchasing. Even I don't know that for now. Whatever I get, in the next post, I will post pictures of the ones I have till then in my small collection.

Attack on Titan's fourth season has begun. I am thinking of waiting till the end of the year and letting it all released and then binge it. The same is the case with The Mandalorian season 3. Once all 8 episodes are out, I will watch them all at once. Demon Slayer's season 3 will also begin next month. I am very much excited about that. I don't know if I will be able to control myself when 1 episode will be released every week. Although, the first episode is an hour long so I will surely watch that and then decide to watch one every week or binge it. Also, this time, I will watch them on the big TV screen and not on my laptop. It deserves it.

I have also started one more thing to do but since it's in the early stage, I will write about it in the next post. Or maybe in the one after that.

PEACE ☮.
