Vasant, it's uncanny and downright spooky, that I read Y(o)U at the times I do. I have been wrestling with the restlessness of trying to figure the theme of my life and just this afternoon was writing on the intentions for the next decade with reflections of the past 2 decades of adult life. (Blame the impending Big 4 oh birthday at the end of this year and the impending decisions on the course of life/career.) Your words, especially the last paragraph soothed and motivated me!
On a lighter note: Am never going to watch Three Body Problem just like I never watched Game of Thrones. (GoT felt exhausting, by the time I got on the hype train and TBP... Nothing will top the book for me). These are just some of the ways in which I choose to torment myself... more pretending, than aspiring to live the JOMO life! :D
Thank you so much. I could hear the crickets chirping on this one until your comment came! I’m so glad it’s helpful in some way. I’ve been through so much torment regarding finding my themes and questioning myself about where I’m headed that writing this felt like an in breath and a cue to be gentler with myself about it. I’m glad that whatever perspective I could garner were useful to you.
I’m motivated to finish reading TBP now. I started but felt the weight of the tome, and stopped! I think I’ll pick it up again ❤️
Truly enjoyed this one, Vasanth!! Hope you're doing well. Love and strong feelings of moving towards something important.
