Ae Zindagi Gale Lagale!:) (Life, hug me soon, Again )

Oh! adrenaline rush where did you go? Oh, Excitement where are you? Is it just the millennials or with each passing year the craze and madness for special days and festivals are fading away, or is the craze to live fading away?? Oh Life, I am waiting for you to happen to me again..

Day by day, responsibility by responsibility, general excitement is fading away, don’t know if it’s personal or general.

When did vacations come down to just catching up on sleep and not doing anything, miss those days when vacations or festivities meant getting up earlier than usual and being with family, well, it was a day well spent!!!

Life, what just happened? When did living become breathing and enjoyment become just ticking all the boxes and being the ‘WINNER ON LINKEDIN’ in life??

In the race to succeed, life might feel like a to-do list that we must complete. We are so focused on being the greatest on social media or at our jobs that we forget to enjoy life as it unfolds.

It’s as if we’re continuously racing to complete tasks and demonstrate our accomplishments. However, in this hurried trip, we miss out on the good stuff – the simple pleasures, the people we care about, and the enjoyable moments that make life great.

Life should not be solely about winning or proving ourselves to others. Let us not forget to appreciate the small things in life and spend time with those we care about. Otherwise, in our drive to succeed, we risk losing sight of what it truly means to live.

In the chase of achievement, we frequently overlook the value of balance. Finding time to relax, pursue hobbies, and spend quality time with loved ones is essential. Rediscovering the simple pleasures and embracing a slower pace can bring a renewed sense of joy and fulfillment to our lives amidst the hustle and bustle.

“Not leading a fast life, not being at the peak of success, merely breathing. Well, the value of happiness is different here and I don’t want to repent of losing out on myself, life is difficult and breathing is a task. Stepping up each day, falling down again, if only my GODMOTHER was here, my soulmate, I would have lived and not just counted the days”-RVA

The Receiver: Thank you for so many questions and your concern. Well, since you asked, it’s for my mental wellness. Once again, thank you for your GENUINE CONCERN!

Well, It is okay to take a break. It is okay to work on yourself and not burn yourself out, both mentally and physically.

Well, the flip side is that not everyone can take a break owing to their responsibilities. But many times, the adverse happens when we do not give due respect and importance to our mental and physical well-being.

The feeling of guilt and being dependent kicks in, there is remorse and your mind is at the peak of uncertainty. Many a time, we humans always choose careers over ourselves. In this rat race, we ourselves don’t realize when we get lost in this race and a lot of time drown in this journey. 

It is okay to take a break and come back stronger, calmer and fresher than ever.

Fortunately, things are changing for the better with the rise of mental health awareness and Individuals adapting to healthier lifestyles. 

This simple decision to take a break, which was once frowned upon, is now a strong tribute to the transformational impact of prioritizing mental and physical health. It’s a story that mirrors many people’s unspoken longings, rewriting the success script for a generation awakened to the beauty of life’s unpredictability.

“I am at my lowest today, I was at my lowest yesterday but that does not determine my future. I take it upon myself to bounce back, the only thing I am grateful for is during these tough times the true characters were revealed. This break was a gift to myself as life happened and I stared at all the success outside while in the darkness I found myself”.- RVA

I am coming back! MAA Rakha
