Ajeeb mukaam par thehra hai qaafila zindagi ka
Sukoon dhoondne chale thay, neend bhi gawa baithay
That rings so true when you think about it. When you're young you feel like adults have it all. That's THE life. And so you can't wait to grow older and become an adult, thinking that that is what sukoon (peace) looks like.
Alas, and then you realize that that is definitely not the case. As they say, with great power comes great electricity bill responsibility. As you grow older, responsibilities pile up. You become part of the rat race and then there's no stopping.
Its only when you get hit with something like the pandemic, do you realize what life is about, what everything is all about.
The world, literally changed when COVID hit. I don't want to get into details because everyone experienced it, but now it feels like, we're slowly slipping back into the pre-COVID life. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing, or if that is what "normal" is but it just feels different. I have begun to feel that we didn't learn anything from the pandemic. We're going back to our old selves. It might not be a bad thing but.. I don't know.
My mind is a scattered mess today. I thought posting would help me order my thoughts but I'm too distracted.
Take care people, until next time.
