The last couple of weeks have been jam-packed and overwhelming. I was thinking about taking a step back and breathe in slowly to calm things down a notch. But, when did people have absolute control over their lives?
So, it is natural that I would not get what I wanted. But also, it is better to be wise to grab the opportunities that knock at the door. Although, I was not sure whether I would be able to do it or just let that slide like all the other opportunities that passed by. (yes, I am not the wise one😶🌫️) But this time, I was thinking about helping others more than myself.
Today has taken a toll on me. I had to work 14 hours! But the catch is that 14 hours were limited to 8!
Okay, let me explain. About that opportunity, I got a freelance gig. Although the nature of it is not exactly freelance-convenient. I have to give 6 hours a day, and that within limited a time frame! The reason I took that even knowing that I already have a permanent on-site job within that time frame was initially to be assist of someone to earn some cash.
But after I did not get anything positive from him, I asked another one to take the opportunity. He kind of bunked me also.
So, I had no other way but to do the job. Both are mental work. I had to balance both work. I tried my best not to hamper any one because of the other. But, if the pay is considered, the summation of the two is higher than the minimum wages of my country, but compared to developed countries, it is still lower🥺.
I returned home and the heavy traffic of the last working day before the weekend was my companion! This is life, it always moves on no matter how tired you are!
I do not know how to take aesthetic shots, this is the best I can do 😅
After just changing the clothes, I joined my sister in the kitchen helping her prepare Samosa. (Here help means gently whisking while deep frying those in oil🫣) Those were so tasty that I ate without thinking about the consequences🫠.
Then I went to my room to take a nap. Guess what? I did not, due to the thing that is on my hand right now while writing the post🥱.
Even after all that, I think I can get a long and peaceful sleep to wash away the turmoil and have a fresh start to the weekend!
Thanks everyone who read my gibberish. Hope you all have a nice weekend ahead.
