The Answer

Salam.

February is my favourite month for a very obvious reason (my birthday month). Now that you know, don’t feel pressured to give me any birthday gift, just do this,  please pray for me - that all my wishes will be granted. That would be the best gift for me.

It is funny that I feel so obligated to write in this space this past few weeks. I used to write lengthy caption on my Instagram post, but that no longer ‘spark my joy’, as the crowd in my instagram are not the people I feel comfortable to share that extend of intimacy.

I feel the urgent need to write as I have read a few books along the way and I usually share the take away from that book. However, I did’t manage to do that, and I feel quite incomplete. It is true that reading and writing is a balancing act, maybe the not writing part gave me that feeling of imbalance and make me feel incomplete, and lead me to here.

Okay enough about me not feeling whole.

I have tried, enjoyed my meal without any distraction, which is just me and my food. I usually eat while watching something on my phone, and that habit I think lead to me over-eating and least savouring the food. As I have been doing this for a week, I think I am more conscious of what I put into my mouth and I eat less, I think.

Happy new year!
