Pleat-ence
Posted on Thursday, July 13, 2017
At the risk of sounding overly ponderous, having been out from school and worked for 3 years - where do we go from here? Like where does life go and what meaning does it have? We work, get married, get a house, have kids, maybe squeeze some traveling in between, meet up with friends, host some cookouts, get old and then we die and that's it. I know this is a question everyone asks themselves at some point in their lives, but I guess when you were young you had actual "stages" in life - "oh, when I was in Secondary school, or when I was in JC". I guess as a fresh adult the idea is still strange to me how we'll probably now say "oh when I was working at company xxx" or "before I had kids" or "before I was married".
People have said to me that oh no Mon, your life is so exciting because you get to work on your own time / go to a lot of events and I promise you that there are days that are great and I'm so thankful that I get to do what I get to do, but then there are days you wake up and lie on your bed and just can't move from the knowledge that "this is it, this is life".
I've been meeting lots of fellow girls who have quit their jobs to work from home as well and I can say that on some days it is soul crushing from all the lack of social interaction (I can go one day without talking to anyone face to face), on other days you go to sleep thankful that you don't have rush to work in the morning and that you have absolute freedom to do whatever the F you want to do. All I can say is that I am grateful for our tiny blogging community because then there is the excuse to meet up with the same lovely souls again, if not I would literally not see anyone till the weekend.
Anyway, my current understanding is that life is long. There's just a lot of white static in the middle where we work to earn a living so that we can live it.
