Something To Say…

So, the summer vacay is almost over, and we will be back to the bustle of school run, fees, homework, projects and what have you in no time. Time is so fleeting. Just a couple of weeks ago, I had made an ambitious list of all the things that I planned to do during the summer break, alas, here I am, nary a thing done except vegetating, creating my posts on TikTok and FB, reading a novel in a lackadaisical manner, entertaining the legion of characters that co-habit my mind space and scrolling the fields of social media. 

I had anticipated that the time out will bring solitude and grant me the opportunity to hear myself think, but the solitary moments that I had were barely silent to say the least. I found myself constantly fidgeting with one thing or the other, reaching for my phone ever so often and imbibing in mindless scrolling that magically steals one’s time. Thankfully, I have been disciplined enough to get in my daily walks, improve my form and indulge in much needed self-care which is never enough.

One thing I can tell you freely is that discipline is a daily task. It doesn’t come easy in the least, even when we have our best intentions lined up. I can tell you for free that social media is the thief of time, devised to grab your attention and keep your eyes glued to the screen. I can also tell you that on social platforms, I gained a lot of valuable insight which I may never have had the chance to do otherwise, so, it’s not all downers.

The absolute truth is that we now live in two worlds, the physical and the virtual and we must learn how to navigate both worlds intentionally to our benefits. 

Hope you are having a lovely day today.
