First Pop-up Shop!

 Day 1

In this blog, I will be taking you through my day verbally.

DISCLAIMER: I have talked about mental health a lot on my Insta and people who know me know how seriously I take mental health. I am highlighting this here because before the pop-up something triggering happened to me and I could have taken it as a sign which I almost did! I have said I will share my story, but later, I will share something about my mental health in this blog.

I woke up on 21st January 2023, with a very normal feeling as if it wasn't registered in my brain that this was my first Pop-up shop, or maybe I was being modest so that I don't get hurt (btw, it works!).

I was chilling initially because the reporting time was 2 o'clock. I was watching something on my phone and suddenly heard a cracking sound and couldn't figure out what it was until I got up and went to the bathroom to turn the geyser on and turned back to get back to my room and found one of my lenses fell down on the floor........

   

 Ikik, This might be normal for a lot of people and that's absolutely fine, but this is a trigger for me. 3 years back when this happened to me for the first time, I was in a phase of my life where my mental health was depleting this was something that happened and I had my first-ever breakdown and realised something isn't right.  

At the moment it happened, I looked at this and I was like It doesn't hurt that much and I turned a trigger into a strength that was deposited into me from the last 3 years of constant work and efforts in improving myself and my boundaries. I felt empowered and moved on with the day with just a thought in my mind that I hope everything goes well. And by well I don't mean sales or exposure, I mean peacefully because that's important to me.

I got ready and said bye to my parents with teary eyes because honestly, I haven't done anything without them until now. I have been a very protected child implying zero exposure to the real world I know the real world isn't a fairyland and honestly I am scared of it. 

And people who have been reading my blogs know I believe in god and I don't start something without praying to him. So I did go to the temple sat there with clearing my thought and said " Aap jo karoge shai kroge usme jo bhi seekh hogi vo mere leye hogi aur mujhe he samjhna padyega vo, mai buss aapko bolne aai hu ki please be with me and be there for me. Aaj tk sambhala hai aapne uskelye thank you". 

And then I headed to the location. 

I started setting up my stall at the location with an extremely nervous mind, but I will not lie and I am not boasting honestly I have so much trust in my products I somewhere knew I will have good sales and I did. It was a successful show and I was nothing but proud of myself. And thankful to all the people who showed up and grateful for everything that I got to experience that day.
