I missed my mark of writing yesterday, so technically this is supposed to be yesterday's post, I'm trying to keep the streak alive by making up for it by writing two posts today.

I got caught up with too many things at home yesterday, well it's nothing significant, but i felt good by the end of it. One of my tasks for the day in my Bullet journal was to organise some things in the Kitchen. The idea was to just arrange the glassware and the new mixer jars, but once I got into it, I began organising the kitchen, I lost track of time and I just kept going, almost switched off from everything around, I was playing music on my phone but honestly I don't even remember what songs were playing after a point. SO the way things were kept, it was occupying so much space and felt like the kitchen was too crammed, I'm not a big fan of small kitchens, for me the two most important thing in a house is that the kitchen should be spacious and the bathroom must be clean and neat. I never paid too much attention to the kitchen because Amma came set it up and arranged things, so I just felt like it was not my place to do or say anything, for me the kitchen os a very personal space because arrange them ergonomically based upon my cooking needs. So when i was trying to arrange things, I noticed that everything was kept neatly but it was not organized properly, everything was so haphazard, and as i kept arranging everything I found so much space in the kitchen to keep things, every time I was freeing up space I felt so happy, it was almost therapeutic.

I think it was the act of freeing up space that made me more happy than the act of organizing things to begin with.

The other highlight of the day, rather night was sitting on the terrace to watch the lunar eclipse with my sister, although we could hardly see anything, it was a nice experience, we just sat there, under the sky, gettin bitten by mosquitoes but not losing our resolve to see the eclipse, we had a good conversation, spoke about a lot of things. I'm always grateful for these little moments I have with my sister where she really understands what I am saying or she genuinely tries to understand what I am saying.

There was low points in the day too, and that's what got me off track from the other things I was supposed to do, but I don't want to write about that, I know it will make me too sad and I am trying to stay positive.

I can feel myself drifting away from all the things I wanted to do, every time I try harder to stay on track it makes it so much more difficult to do them, and if I just stop trying, I am overcome with guilt which creeps up on me the moment I seem to lose focus and it weighs me down like a heavy burden on my shoulder. So basically I am stuck in a loop of trying to just take a break and feeling guilty and straying further away from my goals and aspirations. And sometimes when I contemplate hard about where things are going I go on a down an even more dangerous path and I am afraid of what would happen if I go there.  So I keep trying to shun the guilt and numb all feeling and escape to a place that doesn't make me feel uncomfortable. While I am able t do that when I am wide awake, I seem to have no control over what I dream, it taps me on my shoulder in my dreams and wakes me up so I don't sleep and keep pondering over what my life is going to be like. And that is one of the mos...

Yesterday, I watched the movie Bombshell, it stirred up a lot of emotions for me while watching that movie, I couldn't hold  my tears back, while watching it, especially this particular scene, wherein there are women who were harassed by Roger years ago, and each of their experiences are played out one by one, it was very distressing to hear it, this was the scene that shook me. There very many others, but this particularly had some impact on me. It has never been easy for women to come into the workforce, women have always been a lopsided world, the way things work for men are different and different for women, you are put at a disadvantage right from the start even before you can begin, because you're a woman, it automatically is assumed that whatever you do, a man can do it better, it doesn't matter how good you are at the job. The first thing you're seen as is a sexual object more than a good worker, what ever the role may be, if someone helps you out in somethin...

The Beginning

As a young adult I have always wanted to be a writer, and i wrote a lot of stuff, which i wouldnt exactly call great, so i felt embarrassed about it and then i stopped and then i started to write again but, no longer with the same ease that i did earlier on, now I keep struggling to write, I keep getting stuck at every point, I don't know what to write about so I thought of taking it up as a challenge this year, to write at least 250 words every day, about anything, without worrying about how good or bad it is, and see how that might help me in honing my writing skills. I hope I am able to follow through on this and not leave it like I did before. Earlier I thought I could postpone one day's writing to another but that only makes it worse, so the important thing is to not keep any backlogs I suppose. Let's see where this takes me.
