Empty Compliments and Empty Pockets

I always believed that love would be enough to keep a relationship binding. I believed that if I loved him enough, maybe even more a smidgeon more than him, I could keep the relationship together. I would shower him with compliments, praises, and gifts, and all my love. Isn’t that what all the movies have shown?

But as I grew up and had my own relationships and watched others’ relationship, I started to see that love is never enough. It’s enough only during the happy and stable moments. But what happens when you are in a financial strait or emotional trauma?

DragonCon Day 3

DragonCon 2013

Technically, Sunday is our last day at DragonCon as flying back to NYC on Monday can be hellish if you need to return to work the next day as I’ve learnt the year before. So to finish the last day, I woke up early to a quiet morning as most of the attendees are still fast asleep from a night of geeky and nerdy debauchery.

Last year, even when I woke up to go to the gym, nary a person in sight but this year, it was half full. I thought maybe its a fluke.

Move to Astoria

Finally, moved into to my own apartment!

I used to live alone for a long time. For over 4 years in fact and loved every moment of it. When the opportunity arose that my old college roommate needed a roommate in her parents house, I moved in, giving up much of my autonomy, but enjoyed her company and having our dogs as playmates.

Goals for 30

Bucket List

My goals for 30 are simple mostly because I want to enjoy life spontaneously and not constantly with a planned out list. If you don’t know me by now, I love lists. I love making them, checking them off, re-reading them. When I feel lost or bored with life, I go back to my lists and re-focus.
