A common text message across any social media or even over a chat medium at work.

Catch up requires so much work really these days, more so if you are not emotionally in a good spot. Or are simply overwhelmed with life.

Is it really the first day of Fall? Is Christmas truly just around corner?

I’ve recently allowed so many things to bring me down…I thought I was over this stage in life, where I am not as bothered as I was in my 20s. But I guess I was wrong. And if I were to excuse my actions, I would have to say perhaps vulnerability has paved the way to our way of thinking and feeling since the pandemic. The world is also changing, I feel much faster than we are programmed to adapt.

I once had a neighbor, who always smiled. I mean even while walking to his car, and back into the house alone, he smiled. When I asked him once, how he was able to be this way, he told me, he lived a carefree life…

I never understood how that was possible? But I do think about it often. More so…when I sense myself existing with a resting frowning face.

How do you choose to live your life?
