The Day Cherry Got Her Toy, and We Got Our Shine Back
Day 22 of 30 · Thursday· A Day in My Life
Background:
This story is part of my 30-Day Medium Challenge, where I’ve committed to posting one journal-style entry every day from May 1 to May 30, 2025. These journal entries are my way of tracking each day with intention, reflection, and gratitude.

🌅 Morning
I woke up around 9:30 AM, still half-sleepy, still trying to somehow fix my sleep cycle.
Opened my laptop, peeked into work emails and pending messages, but honestly? I was just floating through the morning, looking around the house, taking tiny naps again and again.
No breakfast, no freshness, just vibes and vague productivity — that’s how my morning went in a blur.
🌞 Afternoon
Had a 1 PM meeting that went on till about 2. And right after that, I finally stepped out of my room.
My mom told me that my dad, the sweetest ever, had cut some watermelon for me before leaving for the office, and OMG, it was perfect for this scorching heat.
Lunch was again dal chawal (lentils with rice, a staple Indian meal), lovingly made by mom.
