A Long Break

 

休息是為了走更長的路，

而我休息是因為不想走路

Taking a break is necessary for the longer journey ahead. Yet the reason I'm resting is because I didn't want to move on.

Daily blog post? It only takes a few moments to type out a few hundred words. However, when there are too many tasks that are to be done daily, all those 'only a moment' added together takes up an abundance of time from the already hectic day.

It's the first day of September and I'm back to my daily tasks. However, I'd be having my week's worth of trip ten days from now. Masters classes start on the fifteenth. Will I still have all this time to complete my daily tasks when the time comes? It's something worth thinking about.

There are many things going on in my life. In the previous month, things happened all at once. I moved into a new apartment with a group of friends. I spent most of the month moving and settling down. In between all of those, I was attending too many events from the groups I'm involved with.

At some point, there was too much on my plate. Just last week, I got my period and there were a few days when I felt uncomfortable. I rested at home and ignored all tasks that weren't really necessary. I had all the time in the world so I started thinking if all of the tasks I assigned myself were really essential.

This morning, I messaged my coach and told her that I wouldn't be joining the classes this month. I told her my reasons and she accepted readily. Even though it's a pity to miss all that fun and the things I could learn from it, I believe that it's necessary for me to rest, physically and mentally.

I'd observe and make adjustments to the daily tasks, including daily blog posts as time progresses. I enjoy writing here and would try to write as much as time allows in the future.

Cheers to a brighter future!
