Savouring Life's Sweetness:

Embracing the Flavourful Journey

One day, I felt the need for a little sweetness in my life. First, let me explain the different tastes of my life.

In the wake of a new life, I grappled with denial, clinging to memories of my original, pristine self as version 1.0, the sweet taste. The harsh reality struck when I was told, 'You've had a brain injury.' Slowly, I started to accept the truth, realizing I might never return to that initial sweet 1.0 state.

Imagine yourself drawing a beautiful jar with colorful flowers in watercolor on smooth white paper. Suddenly, a powerful hand crumples that paper into a ball, all colors mixing together. Feel the contours, hills, and valleys on the smooth paper.

This is my transformation, my journey into the crumpled reality of Version 2.0 with the sour taste.

As I try to smooth it out, notice the lines, the highs, and the lows—it's a testament to my existence. Embrace the truth that I can't revert to the pristine state; instead, relish the ramifications of my new self. This revelation took my thoughts away from denial, unveiling the exciting chapter of my life as 2.0. I embraced the idea that I was now the new and improved version, the resilient 2.0. With determination and hard work, I progressed, learning to love my altered life. Through the process, I discovered the beauty of the new me, uncovering preferences and passions I hadn't explored before. Yes, this is my beautiful drawing with a new attitude toward art. Even though it is not a beautiful jar with amazing flowers, it is a wonderful cubist painting.

Navigating this uncharted territory, I learned to be kind to myself, recognizing the strength within my 2.0 version. In this journey of self-discovery, I found joy in embracing the unique aspects of my new life.

Let's go back to my need for a little sweetness in my life. As I learned not just to accept, but to embrace the opportunity for growth and newfound appreciation, turning my 2.0 life into a story of resilience and self-love, I need a little bit of sweetness to make the new taste like sweet sour.

For the sour taste, I turned to make a blog and share my stories. I have always aspired to be a writer, so I started writing a short story. This is not a true story; it is only based on my imagination and inspired by the humor around me. I would be more than thankful if you could support me by giving your feedback, which would not only make me happy but also help improve my skills.
