Finding Time for Oneself: A Personal Story

Hey…

I hope all of you are doing well…

Have you ever looked at a topic and thought,
Huh?
There are many who have given up on talking to me,
despite all of the efforts,
made from my side to reach them out,
knowing I haven’t made time for myself,
in the past couple of years,
Yes; Years,
I’ve been running on autopilot for the past couple of years,
trying to manage everything,
friends,
family,
relations,
and,
Business too…

But,
never in all those years I’ve got a call,
I’ve got a message,
never got a reminder,
never got nothing to prove that they worry about my being,
(not my well-being🥲)
SO,
would I even ask those,
from whom I’m a message away,
to get into a conversation again,
knowing all the efforts will be made from my side,
and ultimately,
it will be my fault to give up or end the conversation,
because I didn’t carry it…

So,
My answer to this one would be,
“MYSELF”…

I would like to have a conversation,
with myself,
because I haven’t got the time,
even after all of these years,
I’ve made for myself tasks that I have to do on the regular,
But,
those are without any reward,
or any benefit for myself (at present),
but,
this constant pressure to achieve,
to do things without any fixed goal,
or something that I can count on,
And that too for G0d knows how many years,
and for many more to come…

I’d love to sit down with myself,
and have a conversation with myself on things that bug me,
worry me,
and things that bring relief,
and one day I will,
one day….

Cheers 🥂

Love Waakiye 🤍
