That sounds more like a title to a report I have to submit to my boss! Funny that I’m saying this when I’m jobless and even though that feels so bloody awesome you cannot fend for yourself for too long. That time is not far when I’ve to ask mom for money to recharge my phone, do you know how ego crushing that can be? I’m shameless when it comes to asking money from my parents but somewhere I know a line has to be drawn. Also your ego won’t let you.
2013, if my memory can be trusted, started on a good note. I’d a job and I loved being there and after a while got promoted too. After a couple of months, apart from the new salary being credited to my account, I wasn’t happy. I was just being there, no motivation, no looking forward to something exciting, only displeasure. Stepping into work had become such an ordeal. Only one thing I was sure of that I had to quit this place and there was always the dream of pursuing my further studies abroad which I had to work on. So without much discussion, I resigned which partially affected my emotional side because it was my first job and had also taught me some important life lessons, met some incredible souls but more on that later. Many people called my decision ‘rash’. I most certainly worked on my impulse but only because nothing means more to me than my own happiness. I didn’t have an offer for my next job and there was a little fear for gap in my employment. But what the hell, that doesn’t mean I would continue to work at a job that totally sucks.
BEST DECISION EVER. (Also I will reinstate the fact that I had some balls to do that or I would I like to believe so.)
In the meantime I gave a couple of entrance tests for applying to courses abroad. Then second best thing happened to me this year, I got an opportunity to assist teaching in a municipal school through an NGO. I ended up learning more than teaching. The challenges I faced was nothing less than what one endures in a corporate job.
Life in 2013:
Professionally- 7/10
Personally- 6/10
This year, I’ve grown emotionally strong and I’m quite sure of that. Something I always wanted to be and it couldn’t have come at a better time. Some of the series unfolded this year has made me this way and I'm truly indebted to them. Things don’t affect me anymore. The best mechanism to evaluate your personal life is the count the number days you have fallen to sleep at night, crying. I am proud to announce there wasn’t a single one in the last six months. In simple words, I don’t give a flying fuck about anything anymore. I am so much at peace right now that I feel like Gautama Buddha.
2014 has started on such an epic note. No expectations. No resolutions. Only tranquillity.
P.S. Nazar mat lagana, kamino.
