I started this blog at work :) How sneaky!
After the 34-ish odd years, through ups and downs rolling in circle (fact of life--nothing lasts forever, what goes up must come down, that kinda thing), it's true that many people have said happiness doesn't come with materials gained or fulfilling others' expections of you or trying to please others, etc. I have been addicted to handbags (and they have to be brand-named) now I have a ~$5K one (made a vow to stop buying but still happily looking :), it doesn't make me happier (but helps me stop buying more). I enrolled in a Ph.D. program, I am accepted and now writing 3 term papers (enjoying the discussion sessions but exhausted). I am promoted to a more responsible position in a top-5 bank, starting in Nov. (fearing of the unknown--will the new co-workers be nice to me?)
However, lately I've been feeling so exhausted, so tired, uninspired, not to mention unhappy and empty. The whole time I spend on those daily routines working hard, but ignoring my loved ones, affects me sooner than later (I'm grateful for my body that protests my mind actually). This whole year has been stressful I haven't got a day off work. 7 days a week without enough rest, thinking that fulfilling those expectations from myself and others will make me a better person has been proved that it's definitely not working.
So here I am making my life refinery. This is going to be an only serious post of me :) The rest will be something I enjoy and something I would like to share.
As we all know, life is short, enjoy living your life :)
With love,
Jittra H. :)
