I found Life when I found Myself..


Do you ever feel that moment when all you got is boredom? Like there's nothing to look forward to, no reason to strive at all and you feel like you're stuck and frozen when there's actually lot of action going on around you. The world revolves and the people you know, your family, peers and colleagues seems like all moving forward, they get married, have kids, settle, get a job, move to different places, travel and so in and so forth; but you?, still in the same place, same status, same job, same salary, same sorroundings, same routine and same problems. You're in vicious cycle that you created and that's what you call "LIFE". Others are envious of what you have and see it as if you are living the life that you have dreamt of, they strive day by day just to have a chance of having the same achievements as yours, but to you, it is just a pathetic boring life! Then you start questioning yourself, am I actually living this kind of life?, Is this what I really want, is this the life what I deserve? You start to evaluate what have you done for the past years but you couldn't seem to see some faults. You've done what you should have done, you've reached your preset goals, but there is still something missing that you cannot pinpoint exactly. You feel a gap, an incomprehensible sense of emptiness like there's a hole inside you that you have to fill in. And you won't feel contented and wholly until you find that missing part again. 

Little did you know, the missing part is yourself. You became preoccupied of whom and what you've wanted to be and you forget how to be as yourself. You lost your identity in the process of finding what you've wanted to be, of what you should be, of you thought you are to be. The result, gone is you! You yourself.. Those things that makes you you. It was changed to something of what you've done and become of yourself. You're trying hard to find the missing part, to fill the gap but the answer is only simple and the one you've been missing all along, you and your identity. 

The answer for those who are sad and lonely, those who think that their life lost its essence is simple, reconnect with yourself and know who you are. Explore the real you, the  innermost side of you, that one who have been buried by the one of what you've become. Express who you really are, the ones inhibited by life's inconsistencies and adversaries. Read the books you really want to read, go to places you really want to be, be with the people you really want to love, do the things you really want to do, pursue the dreams you really want to achieve and be the person you envisioned yourself to be. Take risks if you must and even if you fail, the experience you will get will be so much better than confining yourself in a box with four corners as your life. Experience the world as its best and worst and what it has in store for you. Only when you find yourself, you find LIFE.. The fulfilled promising life to the fullest you truly deserve, without doubt and feeling of emptiness, but only filled with contentment and happiness. 

Find yourself and start to live your life.

Feeling of Lonelines

Image
There are times that even if everything in life seems doing great, you will still feel like your alone. That no one is there for you, that no matter how hard you try to convince yourself that you're okay, that you don't need anybody else cause you got yourself covered, you will still feel it deep inside, the pain and longing for someone and something you can't experience the same and have again. As Tom Wolfe puts it,  "the whole conviction of my life now rests upon the belief that loneliness, far from being a rare and curious phenomenon, peculiar to myself and to a few other solitary men, is the central and inevitable fact of human existence."  I recently got a two days off and decided to go to the mall to de-stress. My duty was just keep on getting toxic more and more and I needed to go out to declutter my mind. I chose to see a recently released movie, Everything everything, which is based from a novel from the same producer of "Me Before You". Maybe t...

Journey on Quarterlife: Practical ways on dealing with it

Image
In my previous article regarding Quarterlife Crisis , I explained what it is and describe how it feels like being inflicted by it. I also narrated how the journey literally sucked the life out of me. As I contemplate on the experience, on the account of my whole existence, it is so far the lowest I ever had for having lost all hopes and positivity and being consumed by negativity. After a few months which I have endured, basically more than now a year, somehow I got used to the feeling and found some ways on how to deal with it.  I haven't figured it out yet, like most of my colleagues do, but after some time, I've come to develop some strategies to help myself get through. And that's what I'm about to share right now with high hopes that it can also help others who have the same struggles. We are all unique and has different ways of coping so it might or might not work with everyone.  THE IMPORTANCE OF GOAL SETTING We all have heard a lot of sayin...

What Does It Take to be a Home Care Nurse in UAE?

Image
There are times when I think about of giving up, of going back home and just leave this awful place, this company and this job that I've come to bitterly hate every moment I am part of it. Long working hours, no holidays, no day offs, delayed salary, unsympathetic employers and most of all, a caregiving job as what most of clients think of us that we have to endure everyday as home care nurses. To those who doesn't even have the slightest idea, being a nurse working in UAE sounds so grand, the high salary is what the only thing they can think of and being in a foreign country (abroad) is a great accomplishment. Maybe for those who ended up in a hospital or in a better post such as clinics and medical centers. But for us in home care, it's not as grand as what is sounds like, behind that label is a struggle, a day-to-day grind to survive. Not all working conditions are same, some company have better management and other nurses are in good hands, but when you go and ask; it...
