It's quite an unsettling phenomenon that we never have the time to pause and observe where our inner map is pointing at. The fast paced style of living our lives and the incessant want of 'living with a purpose' (that are mostly manufactured, can't possibly call them our own) has been eroding our lives of it's nutritional elements. We go in circles searching for purpose and meaning that would sooth us into believing that we matter, that our lives matter, but never really look within to find the answers that have been lying bare all this while because we are too busy to spend time with ourselves.
I must say Ayushi, each post of yours is a mirror imaging my dilemmas and confusions. I don't think you need to hear this from me, because it's nothing new: You do possess one outstanding quality to look at life deeply without enamouring it with glamour and drama. You're 100% correct about living a life without the pressure to perform, optimize, and 'dramatic epiphanies'.
So craftfully written. How beautifully you drive the points home
