Stress is a funny thing. Unlike other problems, it does not remove easily. Well, at least for me, this is true. But, from my experience, I can say I am not alone in this cult. Some chill-brained people do not give any thought to what will happen if this is done or what will happen if this is not done.
But are they really stress-free about their lives and future? I highly doubt it. Maybe they do not care, which gives them the edge in living their life. From a perspective of a stressed overthinker, I can vouch that their lives are better than mine to an extent.
On the other hand, I cannot remember a time when I was stress-free. As far as I can recall, I have been and am stressed about something or other.
I was stressed about failing exams, not being good in the eyes of the teachers, being a bad friend, not meeting the expectations of parents, and the list goes on! People said in University, you can spread wings, looks like I have retracted my wings further.
Then comes the preparation for a government job. While my friends are earning 6 figures I am still at the parents hotel. Stress was eating me up. So, when I finally decided to take a break from preparation and take a job, everyone may think it will lessen the stress.
Nope, that is not the case. So, now I am even more stressed. I need to learn the things for my job, also I need to keep on going with the preparation. I need no more stress!
I want to be free, or you can say break free if you are a Queen's fan. Nonetheless, sometimes I feel like there is no escape from freedom without death. But, will that be any good then? Who can guarantee there will be no more stress?
But, still, even for a day, I want to live without any burden. I want to fly high, break all the limits, and shout from the deepest part of my lungs, I am free! I have no more stress! I have no more worries! Now I can die peacefully!
Till then, stress is an integral part of my life.
