The depths of trauma, courage, confidence, strength, willpower and finally, hope; so much to take in from this brilliant piece of work.
The letter to 2020 by Poornima is written as a first person narrative basically conducting a self analysis for the year 2019 and presenting a hopeful lookout towards 2020. The various symbols and images used convey an immense depth of emotions, increasing the beauty and splendour of the writing.
She begins by comparing her journey of life to that of mountains and valleys depicting its ups and downs. She expresses the difficulties that she had to endure in the previous year which pretty much shattered her. She "swam a pool of emotional trauma" which shows the depth of despondency that she felt. Yet, this work is highly inspiring and motivational for the readers. This is because of the sheer will and determination of the author to stand up and her fearlessness of falling again. She is a flower ready to bloom even after being plucked, a fish ready to fight for breath in an empty pond and a painting ready to be repainted when scratched with the pains and perils of life. Rather than being discouraged by the tough time that she went through, she looks forward to the new year evolving from her shattered pieces, carrying the fragments of love and hope as well as the failures of the past. We understand that life is not too simple a journey and that we'll have to face many hurdles with courage.
Falling down is not a finale for her cuz she ain't afraid of falling, but is all too willing to rise up and grow again, transforming her negativities into strength and the failures she faced into factors that help her to keep moving forward in life with renewed hopes, not expecting an entire year of happiness but better equipped to face the thunderstorms that the sea of 2020 has to offer.
