Let’s try to answer this question together. What are we doing right now with our lives? Tough one, I think I am trying to figure it out. Do you have an answer?
‘Is there nothing going on in your life that you wish to share with me?’ a dear friend asked and honestly, I didn’t have a reply.
Work is all that is happening in my life. I am amidst which managing to have a weekly blog post out and a few trips here and there. But, apart from this, I don’t know what I am doing with my life right now.
When I asked the question back to the same friend, he had tons of things to say. He had joined some classes, managing a job, trying to play football and much more. I felt proud of him. But, not so much for me.
Blog, travel, work and repeat. Put this in any order and this is the crux of my life at the moment. Is it good enough? Is there more I can do and I am not trying? Or am I just over thinking this entire thing?
Doomed in these thoughts created a mental block for me. I couldn’t write. I had time yesterday too, but I wasted it. Blocks do that to you. But I have managed to come out of my block successfully. How?
I did everything that is the opposite of what I am. I wore a dress to work on Saturday which doesn’t define me, it is not my style in any way. Next, from morning today, I have been in the kitchen. I made morning tea, cooked breakfast and even lunch for me and Maa.
I did everything that I never do on weekends or otherwise. I cleaned all my shelves, helped Maa with things I had prolonged her for weeks. It was weirdly satisfying to do all this. And amidst doing these random chores I found my answer.
Firstly, even to be able to work, blog, travel and repeat are appreciable and I should pat my back a little. Next, I have made plans to study a new language among a few other things and I think it is high time I take some actions to actually achieve it.
And most importantly I am glad that my friend made me think so much, but letting go of comparisons was my first ever blog post. I shouldn’t get back into that trap. All are living their journeys and are growing at their own paces.
Are you in your work or college schedule trying to find time for your hobby? Are you in spite of everything that is happening around you, trying to make sure that you are learning, adapting and growing? If yes and that’s enough of an answer for the question we began with.
If no then my friend if you read this post this far, all I wish to say is please find time in your life for you. Work, college, other personal stuff will always happen, but please in your life read and turn more pages, omit unrequired chapters and focus on completing only one book – self-growth.
