September 16th - Pari is ESFJ

Something I have learnt about myself.

I was always confused about why I was an F in MBTI. I thought I was through and through T. I overthink all the time, don’t I?

But I now realise that I’m very dependent on my feelings, and they really dictate my life.

For example, I can think something, it can make a lot of rational sense, but if I don’t feel it, I just don’t.

And armed with this knowledge, I can take better decisions for myself. I will give my emotions the respect they deserve and try not to reason away my feelings without allowing myself to acknowledge and process them first.

Also - Emotions rule me, but I yet am very bad at understanding my own emotions? Damn, you in a fix, gurl

13th Feb

I am feeling very overwhelmed by my work. It seems like a never ending pit of tasks to do. No matter what i do to figure it out, it is still pending. More and more and more. I cannot seem to reach any conclusion. Perhaps this is because it is such menial, manual work. Perhaps because it is the extent of operationalizing everything. This is painful. But I know what I need to…

28th Jan - facing the very real possibility of what I thought would be “impossible”

Maybe this is a lesson in never taking anything for granted. I’m not even sure why and how we’ve landed at this place, but we have. Questioning the foundation of something I never thought I’d need to question. Because this was the axiom upon which everything was built. But I guess, here we are. Time to wait and see what is to be said. Feels like the ball in your court. I’m…

27th Jan 23 - Conversations with Appu

By age 27, all of us have become scarred by our experiences to some extent. I can see that most of us have done things that we regret, have reacted in ways that we shall not anymore, now that we are stronger, better wiser. Is part of growing up also just learning to make peace with past mistakes and past regrets? I was having a conversation with Appu today. To rant and to…
