When life gives you a knife and two lemons

Which lemon do you cut first?

I’m tired.

Not a surprise you have been busy since the morning.

I know. I have more to do though, no rest as of now.

Why don’t you just quit?

Quit what? Studying? Hell no,

Quit dancing. It takes a hell lot of your time and energy.

But I like it, why should I quit?

It takes almost all of your waking hours to train. You are always exhausted and you have a career to focus on than pursuing a hobby.

But life would be empty without this daily chaos. It’s a bliss for me to be doing what I am doing right now. I am balancing things quite well. My studies aren’t left behind much, and I haven’t taken up any internships or jobs to not burden myself, so I guess it’s going good.

Exactly. You are not doing anything other than dance and study. When was the last time that you wrote? When you researched properly and wrote something, or maybe continued your book? Your resume has been dead in this department, are you expecting to build a career like this? With average marks? Your field requires constant toil. You have to focus on this than a mere hobby.

I mean, yes my career is my priority, but I only have these couple years to explore this side of the fence too.

Then do so alone. Don’t stop dancing, but reduce the time you spend on it everyday. There are a lot of things to do and you know you have been giving dance much more priority than it needs. You have responsibilities to fulfill.

I don’t want to miss out though.

You have gathered enough experience by now. You know how things work and you have learned a lot. You have to work on your own to improve, which you can do alone. You can miss out on the drills here but not the steps that will make your career. You cannot afford to dedicate yourself to an activity that will take you off-track. Wake up.

Dirty Thoughts by Chloe Adams. It’s the vocals in this song that make it good.

Finding something productive that you connect to is not easy

But once you do, it keeps you going.

Bloganuary has ended 😦 It’s always fun participating in such events, hope we get more soon.

Now I have to write on stuff everyday without any given prompts, for 11 months…cool…

Okay so this is going to be another rant on my questions for society.

I see people online as well as offline who always have some tea to serve. They always have some new drama somehow. When you ask them about their day, they fill you in with long stories often spotlighting drama that could have been easily prevented if that person spent their time doing something productive. They could have easily protected themselves from that trouble and saved so much time and energy. As a kid I used to wonder why people are so complicated. I still do. I used to wonder why my peers only found interest in gossip-eable stuff like relationships and fights . And now that I am a grown up, I still don’t get the logic. Why would one put themselves in a compromising position on purpose!? What’s tying you? Nothing!! What do you mean you can’t cut off a negative thing out of your life!?

I read somewhere that half of one’s problems disappear when they get busy in something productive. And it’s true. One can only afford such ideocracy when one is free. A busy person will not have the time nor the energy to engage in it, saving themselves of insignificant troubles.

So, people who are always worrying about some or the other drama, get yourselves a hobby. I am not kidding here. Find something that entertains or calms you. Not alcohol though, don’t be an alcoholic, your problems will only increase further. A productive hobby that you can afford and one that allows you to engage your mind to gain clarity. It can be anything you like. Making a collection of things like specific toys or coins or stamps. It can be knitting or beading or going for a run. It can be making new dishes or painting or reading. Anything that you find pleasing.

I, personally, have this website that makes me want to be a better person everyday. I want to share stories here and that is only possible when I have character development. So when I write blogs here everyday, I reflect on my day often when pondering over what to write. Find what appeals to you, find something you connect to. It definitely helps.

Song of the day!!

Shadow of Mine by Alec Benjamin. A catchy beginning with thoughtful lyrics with a theme not easy to portray with as much metaphorical clarity as done here.

My obsession with shoes

There’s a reason people are often judged by the shoes they wear

Bloganuary day 10: Describe an item you were incredibly attached to as a youth. What became of it?

Oh this is an interesting question.

I used to get attached to a lot of things during childhood, my pillow, my hand puppet dog I called brownie because it was brown in color, my colorful elephant charm, my jute elephant decoration. I liked elephants a lot okay!

Currently, in my youth, I am attached to my shoes a lot. I love my shoes. These babies always get vip treatment. They’re handled with as much care as possible for a rough handler like me. They have regular cleaning days, formal shoes are cleaned every time they are used. I want to have a big shelf wardrobe over my entire wall filled with shoes someday. I have to always look away and restrain myself when in expensive shoe stores from not picking up every sneaker I like because damn are the prices high! They’re another reason why I want more money. Shoes are so comforting and grounding and give you the power to walk with your head high, literally and figuratively.
