How to Be Me

Dear Upa,
                It’s weird without you.

I’m not even saying it to be sentimental and stuff, I genuinely mean it. I mean, usually, people have to get used to living with someone, but it just felt so normal having you around. It didn’t feel like a vacation- I still went to school, still avoided homework, still attended classes- instead, it felt like my normal life, but better. I always had something to look forward to after school and if something mildly interesting happened at school, I found myself reminding myself to tell you about it .

It’s not like we did anything that special. We went to Innisfree a worrying amount of times and went out of our way to associate with Korean things and went to the dog cafe and shopped and ate, basically everything I do on a regular basis anyway, but we did it together. I don’t know anyone else with whom I can just be me and pass it off so easily as having a good time. But above everything, what I enjoyed the most was sitting at home and watching the Korean drama. The most domestic of all things.

I don’t know what the point of this blog post is. It’s just something I realised.

I like being me, but you make being me even better.

Bye for now,

Aditi.
