IN-JOY: The reminiscence of a simple life.
“A lifestyle is a series of choices made by an individual to live in. If he/she lives an extravagant lifestyle or a rural one, it was a choice, not a compulsion.”
— Manoj Pun Tilija.
I find studying myself a fascinating topic. What happens to me at a specific point or how it influences me and my state of well-being? It is in one of these observation dips I found myself looking at my life.
How are you living? How do you want to live? What are you doing? What do you want? Where are you? where are you going?
Now, these are simple questions and I am sure my readers have asked these questions themselves at a certain point in their life.
So what is a guy who is a software engineer, does motorcycle riding, and like to ballroom dance know about you?
I do not. And neither do I claim to. I just know myself. My preferences, indulgence, and my vocabulary.
Recently, I’ve realized a massive ignorance in me. My life.
I’ve been so occupied with making every aspect of my life as effectively as possible, I failed to live it, Enjoy this thing I spent so many hours to perfect. Now this occurs every time and again, which is a good buzzer.
It’s just like any of your good habits. You discipline yourself and get into a habit. You get steady for some time then forget about it. Something happens. Now most of us quit and say, “Oh, what’s the use of it ”. And that’s the point you get back at it. Some of us do, and some of us don’t. That’s it.
Now, I am working on looking at sunrise and sunset, trying cold showers, cooking food without headphones, no dancing for a while, and improving my Spanish.
Will it change over time? Of course, it will. That is the point, keep climbing new mountains, while you can.
