reflections, refreshed

I have been quite carried away doing quite a few things in my life that it was only when certain things happened recently that I have stopped to think about how my life has changed. I’ve immersed myself in these things that I guess I’ve really not stopped to smell the roses.

Too many things filling my plate, too many things which I know are good for me in the long run but somehow right now, are taking precious time away from things which need to be addressed now.

I’ve lost myself in this race, lost a sense of the type of person I want to be, the person I know is buried beneath all these many different layers.

I guess the divine message can’t get any clearer now, the path that I’m to take, in the year ahead, has somehow gotten clearer. I can see it now, what I need to do to recover that person. And just in time too, with my 23rd year starting soon.

I’m happy that I did those things. At least I know how much time and energy they take, and what exactly goes into it. The experience has definitely made a stronger person. I stretched a lot of qualities I thought I had very little of, and learnt quite a bit about the ways of the world (well, this part of the world at least).

But for the sake of nurturing me, and setting a good foundation for myself, I’ve just realized that I need to let some things go, and when the time is right, god willing, I’ll find them again.
