Today is a Friday. March 31. The end of another quarter. Just like that, we’re onto the summer season. It’s been really warm in the past days but earlier today, it poured quite hard. I just finished working and i’m finally writing another entry! *happy dance*
Since last Saturday, i’ve been out of town. I flew ahead of my workmates for a field work. I stayed with my mom for two days and met some of my high school friends over dinner. Every time I go back, it always feels new. New in a sense that it’s not the same kind of city where I spent my high school days but still reminiscent of my teenage years. Over the past six days that I was on travel, I got the chance to have different kinds of conversations - conversations that were emotional, intriguing, and happy while some of which led to many questions.
You see, over the past six years, i’ve been working. When I got out of College, I was laser focused in getting a job that I like and I will grow into. Fast forward to now, I’m thankful that I get to build a career in the development sector. Some say I’m still young, i’m just in my mid 20s. But really, when you’re just by yourself in front of the computer in between meetings, documents, and field work, it feels as if there’s just so much to do in so little time. You start asking yourself about your short term and long term plans. You want to pursue something else but possibly, not the most practical choice. You’re faced with decisions that can impact the rest of your life. You start doubting your choices. Or maybe, it’s just me? Haha. Is this what you call, the quarter life crisis?
True enough, each day is interestingly different from another. Some days, you have so much energy and you give 100% of yourself. Others, you just don’t feel like moving, you’re demotivated. While in times, you see life just as is - you take what it gives. But then, in all ways, you just learn how to go with the flow.
I recall telling M that since I started working, I feel as if I’m swimming and trying to paddle my way making sure that I don’t drown. It’s funny how life throws you with so many lemons but nobody truly tells you what you should do with it.
I honestly don’t know if this entry makes sense. Haha. TLDR - life is such a rollercoaster, you just have to hold tight when it goes up and down.
Anyway, I can’t wait for the weekend. I always feel that a new month is a new beginning. I can restart my goals and be more driven.
Hope you’ll all have a good break.
