Life Updates…Good Ones

Probably one of the best shots I took in my life

So! I had an amazing day actually, I just literally made it to bed after a loooong one and I am smiling to how much of a great day it was!

And I realized, which is something that I always believed but I keep on forgetting:

Happiness is in the small things

I had a late start today AGAIN! Dragged myself up to the half assed breakkie, didn’t have it…felt like I can’t for the life of me have this bland omlette and the Garlic Flavored Apples (because grandma in the kitchen uses one knife for all) so I just had my black coffee and head out to my favooooorite cafe in the land, by now you know it, So I don’t need to name drop again.

And I sat to work and before I know it..I’ve done alot of work! And whenever I look at what I’m doing it actually brings me joy! What a blessing to be able to work on something that brings joy!

And when I looked up for a break from my screen, I looked around and the surrounding made me smile! How unique every human sitting on the tables infront of me were, so diverse! Each with their own style, some look foreign, some are local!

A lady looked literally straight out a movie! Like a writer she had that unique fashion hat on her head, and a cigarette between her fingers that once one is over the other starts, and she is writing on her screen with her eyes squinted because she’s old…and she looked absolutely marvelous! For real a character straight out of movie.

Then I went back to my room for a siesta and then I went and tried a new fusion food a ramen with momos! And it was soooo good that it intensified how happy i was (good food always make me happy).

And I managed to find a really good tennis court and a coach which I’ll start playing with from next week and you have nooo idea how much I love to play tennis! Like I’ve never played a sport that i loved as much as tennis and i stopped in Dubai because I couldn’t keep up with the classes costs last year + depression.

Then I hopped behind a motorbike taxi and went to Boudha stupa (the Buddhist temple pictured above) and it looked as magnificent as ever! If it looks that good in a picture can you imagine what i was looking at in real life?

And I found an epic spot on a rooftop, had a mocktail and shisha, its been monthsss since i smoked shisha and i wasn’t even craving it, but the place itself was soooo goood! And i so people smoking that i just actually wanted to smoke for the vibes haha and it was actually good, very smooth! (But no bueno for my lungs as I’ll be super active in a few days and I want my stamina and breathing to be optimal inshallah)

Then I went an had an Ayurvedic massage, and let me tell you it was outtt of this world!!! My god how good that lady was!

And when she said:

“Okay maam massasss finiss”

I really wanted to cry and say nooooo don’t leave meeeee!!!! Not yet!!!! Pleaseeee😭😭

One hour massage should be illegal, it should be a minimum of 2–3 hours, thats what i think 😂

So you might read all of the above and think…okay where is the life updates, well dumbolino lets read between the lines:

1. I am very happy and at peace that I started to see again the beauty of life, of my surroundings which hasn’t always been the case.

2. I love what I’m doing, my work is at last brining me joy! And I can’t wait for it to go live and I start making money out of it, because honestly I am enjoying it soo much that I am actually working whenever I can, even now its 10 pm and once I finish writing this I’ll do some work from bed.

3. I am at peace and I feel comfortable with my surroundings, I didn’t get that thing that usually happens to me when I shift my life to a new place or a major thing happened, my stomach shuts down and I am unable to eat…until psychologically i adjust and then my system starts to ease down…it didnt happen at all! I am eating alot which is yes not optimal but when I eat it means i am happy!

I was scared the same thing will happen to me again like my feelings in Bali, first 3 days I was ecstatic and then oh shit! I don’t even want to remember that time…pure hell!

But I’ve been here 3 days already and I am so happy! I love every minute!

And you may say well because you’ve been here 5 times already, yeah and even Bali! I’ve been to Bali actually twice before moving there so it doesn’t mean anything.

That environment wasn’t for me, not the weather, not the bugs, not the unwalkable roads, not the fake gurufluncers that filled the island like a plague, not the everything westernized nothing authentic, nothing about it felt right!

I think I thought its the dream because it was the dream of others, youtubers, the digital nomads…etc. for them it was heaven and for me it was hell!

But Nepal, for all of my friends that visited it was hell 😂 and for me…it is heaven!

I love every bit of this place, yes including the chaos, the noise and the pollution 😂

I don’t feel like a stranger at all, and I actually have friends that I will meet soon once I settle in my apartment which I’m renting next week, I also downloaded bumble bffs because I was like I need more humans in my life since i’ll be here for a while, dropped a like on a few i liked but then it finished! Maybe like there’s 10 prospects only in Nepal.

So I was like okay lets try date mode and holly fuck!!! That thing overwhelms me sooo much its mad!!!!

It literally gives me anxiety, look at this!

350 in few hours! How do I go through them all!!!! and actually Bumble is not that great in UX because i’d love to see the bio too and not just the picture its not fair to discard humans just by pictures, but also if you look good but your bio says:

Live, laugh, love

Then you belong in the bin 😂😂😂

So unfortunately I need to click every profile to see the bio, yeah it pissed me off…what a shitty way to meet people.

Anyways! Bet I’ll meet plenty, I don’t like sitting still anyways so my mornings will be work and my evenings will be fun! I already signed up for this Buddhist talk thingie on saturday, I’ll go see whatsup looks like all white people trying to Om their way through life…but no harm is sussing out the vibes.

So, in a nutshell…I am happy, and beyond grateful for god for giving me another chance in life AGAIN!

Because in 2023 i thought i’d never “live” again, and I lived in 2024 (well at least few months of it) and then I broke down again for over a year and it was such a dark time that I would have never ever everrrr would think that I’d be able to laugh again! To feel at peace again! To be happy again! To love my life again!

And look where we at now….while yes in the dodgiest hotel room in the land with a ceiling fan that have no option but either on or off and the On is literally gazillion rounds per hour its scary as fuck how fast it is, and a TV screen that is tilted about to fall…but I’m happy :)

الحمدلله

Peace out!
