Your writing is incredible as always Ikram! I've been feeling this way a lot lately. I agree I definitely need some novelty to get me out of this stale state. I'm going to start leaving the house more.
Thank you so much Leena, that means a lot. I'm really glad it resonated with you. I think sometimes a bit of novelty, or simply stepping outside our usual routines, can shake things up in the best way. I hope leaving the house brings you some of that too, like it has for me.
It really has! I think I isolated myself too much in the name of getting ‘locked in’ and it’s really getting to me. But I’ve decided to start socializing again hopefully.
Regarding your question: maybe the interesting part of the piece is that they’re different for everyone. If I named the things she loved, the essay would shrink into just her story. Leaving them unnamed lets people recognize their own.

It's impressive how you put down your thoughts, make things obvious but still leave enough room for the curious to suffer with you.
For instance, a curious one is asking, what are the things she loved and what are the things she wishes she loved??
Thank you!
