This morning over WhatsApp (this is an amalgamation of my chat with two separate, very dear friends who were concerned about me…so sweet of them):
Friend: Why haven’t you written recently?
Me: I’ve been sort of brooding for a bit. Haven’t been in the mood to write. Also, am going through a breakup. So, busy with managing my emotions.
Friend: Just keep doing what you are doing. You’ll be fine.
Me: Did go for a ride yesterday, though. To Mahabaleshwar. To have breakfast and strawberries. So, kinda returned to normality. But not really there yet.
Friend: Goodness…it’s been a bit tumultuous for you, hasn’t it? Sorry to hear about your break up. Being out in the outdoors and strawberries and cream does some good, tho 🙂
Me: IKR? Blue skies, friends, the sound of the BattleCat under you, smooth roads, and a hearty breakfast waiting at the end. Probably good enough to solve all my problems. Almost.
Friend: Hope you weren’t too deeply involved emotionally. 🙈
Me: I am always ‘too deeply involved emotionally’ 🤣🤣🤣. Is there any other way? At the moment, am crushed! But c’est la vie, n’est-ce pas?
Friend: Touché.
P.S.: Funny part is they both, almost simultaneously, told me that a specific online friend and I would make a great couple. LOL. How obvious have I been, I wonder?
