Life Lately

Sitting in my room, I had this sudden spark to take my laptop and write that long-pending blog that I had been thinking about since June, called “Life Lately!”. Where should I begin? Where should I end this? A normal venting blog or something that people ignore because it's another self-help!
Like what's been cooking in this world? Like wherever I go, whomever I talk to ends up either Venting about their job or life.

Life Changes after College
On a very non-draining and venting note, Life does change after college. You might hate the word “JOB”, you might hate the word “Monday”, and the most important thing is when someone asks me “What's next?”. It's very different. You feel lonely sometimes; it's not even being alone; I mean, it's “Loneliness”. The constant urge to come out of this Job circle, the constant urge to make yourself happy, and the constant urge to prove that I am worth a very different path I don't know if it's because we have too many choices to chase and don't know which one to chase, or if it's because we don't like the present one and constantly think of running to Mount Everest straight without an oxygen cylinder.
But hey, After constantly juggling these past few months, I am proud of myself and everyone out there. Do You know what you should be proud of?
You didn’t settle for things that were within your reach. You didn’t give up. You are not giving up either. So whatever happens, how long are you going to cry in your bathroom bucket, keeping your face inside that water and not being able to breathe? Hardly two days? Third day- You will make bubbles out of it and come back stronger.
Just one thing, women/men- Nobody cares! Whatever you are trying to make for yourself, do it for yourself and only for yourself. The one who cares never expects anything from you, bro! Either a job, college, or business- Do it for you and only for you!
I know it's very hard to say, “Go, sit down and talk with your parents or anyone else about your dream laa?” It's very hard to even convince them because they are humans who have very different perceptions about something. But silently chase things that you want for yourself. And please let me tell you this “Never Give Up.”. You will get it soon!
One life understanding
I am 20 and will be 21 in a few months. And what I feel is that I am not there yet. I haven’t done the things I wish to do. And, in these past few months, I've understood that I don't want to be faster either. I want to go slow, taking care of my mental health and everybody around me, being a good person- Because when I was constantly juggling, there were very few who meant the world to me. I am not in a hurry; I will make it one day, and you will make it one day.
But again and again- I don't want to settle for things that I am simply not happy with!
And never feel- that you don't have time, my friend. You have it; just take your face from that pillow or come out of the bathroom - Stop crying and just sit! You will find it!
I do understand that whenever I make decisions on a fast note- I am failing at them. Whenever I feel that I don't have time and I have to do something- I fail in another few months!
So Be content, Think wisely, and settle for thighs that your heart and soul are happy with!
Hiding this Blog from someone who may be concerned and feel offended!
The thing is, You have to understand, Mr. and Mrs. X, that Love and Obedience are two different things. So if you are obedient enough to do things that X has been asking you to do, then X will love you. Or else you will be the worst kid. Understand one thing! It will not make you a bad person if you choose yourself over your family! No, It will not. It will not make you selfish, greedy, or guilty of choosing yourself. Yes, I do understand that you are someone who values family so much.
But there are people out there who feel so noisy even in silence. There are people out there who cannot even bear the TikTok sound of their clock because they have been constantly growing up in a room full of noise and chaos.
So just remind yourself that- You choose to do things and always refuse to settle for less. Because when the world is standing against you, you know they will stand with the world, and you have to take care of yourself.
And adding up a few more things. Sometimes it will be hard. You will be sleepless for months; you will cry inside those bathroom walls and come out laughing like a baby! But whatever happens- please take care of yourself and your mental health. Sometimes, if it's been months of chasing something- Try to be smart with your goal and try some different ways to attain it. Take care, my friend! You will get this one very soon.
One more thing, PATHUKALAM, Seriyaaa?
