A break is Necessary
Good Morning!
How have you been?
I am fine! Just fine…
Remember our Mantra?
“No one and nothing matters, all that matters is you and yourself. Learn to love yourself first and everything else will fall in place. Trust me!”
2019, have not been an easy year, not at least for me. It gave me a lot of good things but in a very hard way. It actually is like going into my nerves, annoying me the most, exhausting me but at the end bringing the best out of me. I don’t know how the rest of it goes, but I am not expecting it to be anything… Just neutral.
I am having a bowl of ice -cream while writing this. Past few days have been really tiring and hectic and not that great. It actually made me feel like there is no light in this darkness but then I somehow survived like always.
I did nothing much productive today that is while I am writing this post it’s still Friday and when you’ll read this post it will be Saturday. I just did one productive thing that is went gym today. I did not do any illustrations although a lot of work is to be done, I did not do any kind of art, or reading or anything. I just lazed around and it felt nice because I have been going too hard on myself since past few months/days and I really am in need of a break. And I feel okayish to not do anything and just laze around because it’s okay to do nothing at times… I hope I just don’t hang in this mood and tomorrow I’ll be back on being productive.
So, I thought maybe sharing my thoughts here would be like icing on the cake. I just feel like going on a mini-vacation now, like where there is no network and especially internet connections. Get back to reading which I am finding it hard to do, write, doodle, take a walk around nature and just be free of all the chaos and worries for some time.
Then I remember childhood, how wonderful that phase was and being adults we miss it so much. Adulting is hard, it’s worse… And I so wish to go back to my childhood. Do you feel the same?
I will end my blog here because I am really tired and feel like just lying up in bed and watching Netflix. I hope to have a better weekend, I have to catch up reading blogs, do some illustration work, do some art for fun and hopefully get back to reading.
Oh! I need to clean up this desk too, it’s too messy… See Adulting never leaves you alone… 🙁
Ignore my sentimental emotions and have a happy, relaxing and beautiful weekend ahead! Would love to know your plans too…
Also, I am really thankful to all those who shared their thoughts on my blog post. It really means a lot. Will be replying to comments soon…
P.s: Have you bought my poem book yet? It’s a collection of poems and is available on Amazon. Here is the link, do check it out.
I am taking my blog to the next level with Blogchatters #Myfriendalexa program.

It is normal to feel a little off once in a while. It is okay to be tired, and feeling hopeless as long as you remember to spring back from that phase and enter a new happier one.

No one and nothing matters, all that matters is you and yourself. Learn to love yourself first and everything else will fall in place.
Personal experience tells me that attitude or mantra is pernicious. Caring for others brings solid happiness. Have you ever experienced that?
Nazish
it does, but constant caring for others when you yourself is in need of it first, that brings frustration… Thank you for visiting by and leaving your thoughts here.
Srishti
Great. A break is necessary. We can not perform our duties without re-energizing ourselves. Self-care is not selfish.

I agree with you that unless we love ourselves we cannot love the world. It is like a bottom up approach. We are part of the world. If we love the part, the whole falls into place. There is no problem if you earned your good things through hard effort. Anything hard-earned has two benefits. First it stays with you longer. Second you know potential pitfalls in case it goes away and you know how to get it back. Finally, yes we need to take a break once in a while. Break means a different thing to different people. Some sleep, some go away, some do different things from the routine. Whatever works for you.
Nazish
Absolutely. I loved your thoughts…Thank you for visiting by and leaving your thoughts here. it means a lot 🙂 keep visiting by

Nazish my only suggestion is “Be More, In less”
Make life choices which gives you enough time for yourself, work should be fun not burden and remember “This Too Shall Pass” 🙂
Sonia Dogra
Hi Nazish. I so agree with you. You must love yourself so that you can love others too. Sometimes we think living for others is all that matters but you need to begin with yourself first.
Nazish
thank you for your wise words, they mean so much to me. Thank you …Thank you for visiting by and leaving your thoughts here.

Hi, your post does ring a bell for me 🙂
At times, there’s peace in doing “nothing” and i think that’s okay. All we need to do is to listen to our body and do likewise (without any guilt, whatsoever). At times, we should let our heart take a call 🙂
For me too, Childhood definitely holds an edge over Adulthood !
Nice post, straight from the heart !

I am so glad you could relate to my blogpost. It means a lot. I am thankful…Thank you for visiting by and leaving your thoughts here.
