Just a random day with all these chaotic thoughts of what I am doing? Am I good enough? am I successful in my life? why does it seem like people are doing far better than I am doing? Am I missing out on all the things to concentrate on my career? even if I am trying hard why getting this many rejections?

Every time I open Facebook I see either people are getting married or they are switching jobs or they are settling well in their lives, we stand at this age where constantly we are judging ourselves either by ourselves or by our relatives, parents, or some unknown parameter. But comparing yourself or judging is constant.

Why not let us do what we love to do most? Why not give us time to prosper and blossom? I know it’s their fault but still, when you are from a very poor middle-class background, you have the responsibility to get a job and take care of them as soon as you do your graduation. Though you realize the job you are doing is not worth it, there is no going back because money is important. Either you have to switch to a better job or have to have that much savings to pursue your dream. Still, people will say why are you after useless dreams, it was better not that you were earning a good amount of money. Why did you leave the job?

I have seen very few people who generally give pace and understand their child in this age of fulfilling other’s expectations. You get only one life so even if the situation is worse for you still you have to fight for yourself and give your best and you will end up doing what’s best for you or you end up liking this journey. So never give up. We all are fighting in our way and just respect each other and move on with the bad situation and prosper in our way. Just be there and hang on, you will get what you eventually want to achieve.
