It’s been long……

Time flew by, I got graduated and started working in a full-time job. Time flies so fast that it has already been more than 6 months. When I look back, it feels that sometime ago only I left my home for the first time, moved to UK, to a new country, new city and today it has been nearly 4 years in this not so familiar country which I call Home.

Last year I started my own blog to put down those unsaid words and experiences and share them with the world not even sure if anyone would be interested in reading it. My blog was like my baby, I wanted to grow it, I wanted to put in my whole time in it and I did that. I drafted articles, planned my blog but then one day it all disappeared for me. My passion for writing, my love for my blog and sharing my experiences got lost. I got into the race of 9-6 job and my blog was left behind. I invested my whole time in my job, on some days even sitting after 6pm, being stressed even after coming home that I forgot that the thing which gave my heart immense joy was left way behind in the race. I was part of the rat race. Not to say that I do not love my job but within that I forgot my life away from job. I forgot about the things I loved doing, things that I used to do even if it meant staying up late at night or missing a Friday night party. Being the part of the race, running to complete the deadlines, meetings, client proposals, I kept losing a part of my self even without realising.

Deep down somewhere I was unhappy, unsatisfied, and clueless of those feelings because I loved my job. All the time I could only think that event despite doing what I love why did I not feel complete and satisfied. Few weeks ago, while talking to one of my colleagues, we drifted to talking about blogs and I mentioned to him that I have a blog page too. I searched through my phone to show my page and my articles. After months, I had opened my blog that day again and it gave me a sense of joy to read my articles again. I was so excited to talk about my blog and why did I start. That day I kept thinking of my blog and with how much passion I had started it. Thinking about it, I asked myself why I stopped writing, and the most expected answer came to me- I had no time now. Going to office, coming home tired and preparing for the next day. That moment I gave some time to reflect on the routine I was following and realising why I did not feel complete. I had stopped giving time to those things which gave my heart immense joy and made me happy. Giving time to work, putting whole effort in meeting deadlines is important but leaving behind things which make me who I am is the worst thing I could do. The world might tell me that work is everything and I need to immerse my whole self in it but if I am not doing what gives me joy, I will never be able to do justice to my work.

We all at some point we all have let go of our passions to be ahead in the rat race. Our passions, things that give us joy which may not make sense to the world, but they mean everything to us. Those things give us the boost every day to look forward to new day and new challenges. Today, when I sit and write something again for my blog, for my passion; my heart is filled with joy. I feel a sense of relief in putting out what was like extra baggage inside me. The feeling I got when I wrote my first blog, I relieved that moment as I type again after so long. Indeed it has been really long…..

I have taken my first baby step towards promising myself to take out some time from my day and do things which I love the most. For anyone who has read till this point, first of all thank you. I hope my words make some sense together and I hope as you read this you take back a promise to take some time out and do what your heart desires.

I will not bore you anymore but thank you for reading till here. I will be back again to share some experience, some new thing or just solving the complexity of life.
