How is your Life?
Hey guys, what’s going on? Just wanted to know how life is going for you all...what’s changing, what struggles you’re dealing with, your plans, commitments, motivation... just life in general.
As for me, lately I’ve been struggling to focus on myself. I tried waking up early multiple times but failed, and honestly that itself makes me feel worse sometimes. I’ll be turning 24 in the next 2 months, and I already feel left behind. I see my friends enjoying their lives while I keep making excuses to avoid meeting them, partly because I feel like I’m not progressing anywhere.
The biggest thing on my mind right now is switching jobs, but I’m unable to stay focused or work consistently towards it. A part of me is scared of failing and realizing maybe I’m not as good as I think, while another part keeps thinking about how AI might replace jobs anyway. So instead of moving forward properly, I just stay stuck between fear, overthinking, and procrastination.
I think a lot of this also comes from my personal life. For the last 1.5 years I’ve been living with my parents, and I honestly don’t have a single friend here. Since my father was in the IAF, we kept moving from one place to another throughout life, so I never really built long-term friendships anywhere. Yes, there are still calls and messages, but the bond I had with the boys when I was in Bengaluru just felt different. Here, most days feel silent.
At the same time, I keep thinking about my future. I want to become financially independent by the age of 30, but sometimes looking at the system around me feels frustrating. The government keeps increasing taxes without giving real benefits, while dishonest people somehow keep getting rewarded in a corrupt system.
Recently, after a lot of struggle, we finally bought a piece of land. But now the government is trying to acquire it at almost 10x lower than its actual value. Still, I’m going to fight for it. I’m not giving away that land to anyone because I know how much effort went into getting it.
And maybe all of this together is why life has started feeling repetitive. Every day feels exactly the same — wake up around 9, start office at 10 AM, work from home till almost 12 at night, and repeat it again the next day. It feels pointless sometimes. I’m so mentally tired now that I don’t even enjoy sleeping anymore.
But yeah, that’s pretty much an overview of my life right now. So what about you guys? What’s your story? How’s life going for you? I’m open to hearing from people all over the world, because in the end, we’re all just humans trying to figure things out.
