Day 26 - Why So Serious ?
My friend often tells me that I am a serious person or be very formal around people. Yesterday we were chatting on WhatsApp and I was sharing few things with her and told her some challenges in my life and how I wanted to be a writer someday. She was appreciative of my efforts and told me to hang on to what I was doing and someday I will see the rewards soon.I thanked her for being supportive to my efforts. No sooner did I sent her this and she immediately replied, "You know you are sharing things with me". I replied, “Yes” and she texted back, “Then why are you being so formal” and I replied, “I don’t know why I am being so formal, maybe its because of the work that I have been doing off late”
I was not a serious person in life nor a very formal person, but I was very disciplined though. I don’t know when I got serious, probably it was when I started to take life seriously I guess. My family friend who stayed as tenant at my home always told me that Life is not a race or a competition, so relax and keep doing what you are doing and everything will fall in place. Someday you are going to reach what you have been doing. Your efforts are going to reap a beautiful fruit in the future. I still remember his words that changed my mind of looking at things, but my work intensified and kept going. I never took time to relax or pause for a bit and think about how I am doing. I am very bad at self care and this has been for a while now. I have forgotten to enjoy life and take things sportively. But that does not make me an angry, short tempered guy. In the run up to have a settled life, I somehow got serious with my work and did not notice what I was missing. I was missing the beautiful thing called as life and enjoying each and every moment of it.
It’s never too late for me to realize the fact that there’s a bigger mountain you can see after you climber the peak. So there’s always milestones coming one after the other, there’s never end to it. So why do I have to be so worked up about things. I need to chill the F… Up. Time and again I recall my family friend’s words, yet I get back to the same old me. It’s time to change things for better. The world as we know is at stand still due to the pandemic and it’s time for us to be the best of ourselves. I got enough time during this lockdown period to analyze myself and had the best time to relax and think through. I am doing alright now.

Yeah sometimes you just need to slow down and take a break. Life expects you to be serious at times but all other time, just chill out and enjoy life. Amazing photo. I miss my home
