Do you need time?
I was working late in the office. My eyes were fixated on the monitor of the computer and my hands and fingers were moving over the keyboard pressing the required keys. The Sun had gone down, and the nighttime was doing its shift. The fatigue was slowly spreading over my mind despite my best efforts to stop it from doing so.
I just could not let fatigue win over my motivation to live this life to the fullest. Office work is just a part of it, there was an entire life waiting for me outside, to move ahead with it…… resigning to the fatigue just didn’t seem an option.
I paused in the middle of my work and gave a glance outside the office window. A few days from now festivities would usher into the streets and homes. The decorative lights could be seen on different buildings. How I wished I could get out on the road and walk around peacefully with my thoughts, admiring the lights around, but the painting of reality that always seems to be within our very hands mostly tells a different story.
I completely agree, that I am in need of time and I know that only I can fulfil that need, for 24 hours are not going to become 30 one fine day and even if they did become 30 by some impossible event, I won’t have the energy to live them thoroughly. The pattern of life I lead demands a change. The time I need is here with me always, it is just me not putting it in the place where it would mean the most to me, where even a fraction of time put would seem like an eternity of life lived.

This piece as usual written so beautifully, it captures the universal struggle between the demands of work and the desire for a more meaningful, balanced life. The vivid description of the office scene, the battling fatigue while yearning for the upcoming festivities, resonates with my own experiences decades back.
The realisation that the need for time lies within, and the call for a change in the pattern of life, adds depth to the narrative. Your honesty about the challenge of finding time for personal moments amid a hectic schedule is also relatable. A thought-provoking reflection that would encourage readers to consider the allocation of their time thoughtfully in the pursuit of a more fulfilling existence. Keep writing, stay blessed.
