i took her out on a date.
i’ve always held pride in knowing exactly what she likes. but then she wakes up one morning feeling the opposite and i am thrown off my game.
i knew she likes spending time at the mall. but ugh the holiday rush is such a turn off. i knew she likes sappy holiday movies that made absolutely no sense whatsoever. especially this time of the year. but every time netflix suggested one, she picked Friends. her pinterest is flooded with home decor pins. so i knew she loves that. but she changed her phone a year ago and hasn’t logged into her account ever since. she loves books. so maybe i could ask her out to an afternoon of books and chai in her balcony? but she hasn’t gotten past the first three pages of the last Murakami book she picked. shopping, she loves! but the last thing she bought was korean instant ramen off the marketplace on amazon. she likes puppies. but she lost the two she had recently adopted to food poisoning, so must steer clear of that. she loves facetiming with people she loves, but work’s been crazy and she has barely found time to clock eight hours of sleep in the last few months. journals! yes. but her last entry was on the 12th of october. and it’s december now.
i haven’t met her in a while. she looks just the same but so much has changed. it’s like watching your favourite movie but someone changed the subtitles language. i watch her, but i don’t see her. i hear her, but i can’t listen. i touch her, but i cannot feel.
then the sun rose today. she woke up a whole minute before she intended to. with nowhere to be and nothing to do. she made her bed and her chai. she finished her seventh book this month. she showered and went to the mall. she bought presents for people she loves. she bought photo frames and potted plants. she bought a rug. traffic was crazy as usual, so she spent her car time facetiming not one but two friends. she bought herself a new pair of pajamas. she came home with takeout chinese boxes and watched a sappy christmas movie. she cleaned her room for the first time in well over three weeks. and then she sat down to write.
a wholesome day.
some would even call it a date.
so yeah,
i took her out on a date.
finally.
P.S. – she hates it when i romanticise a regular day in a blogpost. she also hates whole articles written in lower caps. but that’s a discussion for another day.
LuuuuuuuuuV it 💞

Hey prajuu…Loved This Article brooo…. I am college student and I can totally relate bcz , sometimes I mean almost all of the time I prefer spending time with me but due to college, I got a little far from myself. . but , after reading this , it’s been a day since I am completely prioritising myself over anything….
Thank you 💞 ms.koliiiii (I like Koli word)
I was just about to ask that , can I please publish the story somehow like this but, in my context , my language and our language ‘s book… i.e, kannada…as I am a self-motivated writer too…
Can I use it praju… please…
Please…..mana mat karna…
Aap hi se meri Hindi aur English dono sudhre hai. Please

Hi Prajakta, Hope you are doing well and enjoying the holidays. I enjoy reading your blog. I wanted to know something different, about the black kurti you wore in a instagram post three days ago. I wanted to buy the same. Could you please help me with the shop name and address?. Thanks.

Ohhhh myyy god.
What a blog.
This is so much relatable. I cried reading thisss❤️ i was sort of in a similar phase, where I distanced my older self, which I loved but the one this constant change, had forgotten she existed and i met her recently and the joy being in her shoes. I don’t know how long it is going last but i hope it does longer than I think ❤️ keep posting more of your blogs. It shows up the raw side of u❤️ love love
It’s so cute & perfect Prajakta🫶
