The Comeback, 2026

 A very 'dear diary' moment for me indeed. 

It's been pretty long since I got back to this pretty little public journal of mine. Now that I have, I want to confess my learnings from this recent past healing phase of mine. I have learned to set boundaries-boundaries that not only define me but also define how much I let people access me. Every ounce of me was so accessible that I was taken for granted under every possible circumstance. This has always been something I have utterly hated, but I never did anything towards correcting myself . It had been a habit, blaming  others for  their  deeds . I mean of course what they did was more than just bad , but it's just  who they are . It's nothing exaggerated or outsized. IT'S JUST THEM. 

It's inexplicably empowering to be me and just be me. There's no influence or manipulation happening.

Manipulation again is just a bit too powerful. You can literally leave out of your soul and breathe a different existence. I have literally been forced to believe things which even the stupidest version of me would have given a thought before believing.  This  new  version of mine to exist would be the last person to believe in people's bullshit. 

So, setting boundaries being the number 1 priority .

Detecting and refusing manipulation is second. 

Coming to my third most important priority. I am never to cry my eyes out for someone not worth it. I deserve better  than someone who shall make me cry  my eyes out at any point in my life; whether or not it's intentional. 

Being quiet and letting people the space to vent out their true colours is the new resort of self-protection for me.I would henceforth restrain from creating self proclaimed images of people inside my little brain and would not do any effort in putting the said person in either good or bad book of mine. It's theirs to give me the verdict.

Life was just a little too hard this year . Starting with self harm  to every other negative thing that life could have offered and every thing i feared just happened without a prior disclaimer (I mean of  course that's  life).

To end with, failures is not the only thing this year offered me . Ample amount of learnings added on as well. 

This was just part 1 of stuff . 

Comeback is not easy . Neither is it tough . Maybe I'll come back , this time harder than ever . 

Good night .
