It feels weird to be blogging again. I mean ‘be blogging’ implies that this is not just something that is happening now but something that could continue to happen in the future and you know what? I’ll drink to that.
These last two months, I’ve been trying to come up with something. I even started part 5 of ‘The Woman Before Me’ series but I cannot for the life of me bring myself to remain in my writing bubble. Like I’m constantly popping in and out of it, and for me to come up with something I have to remain inside that bubble, or whatever I write just comes out patchy. But more on that later.
So I’ve decided to start with something on the casual side.
2022! NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS!
I thought out like four resolutions off the bat of my head on New Year cause I realised I had nothing and it’s very bad vibes to start the year without resolving to do anything.
QUIT RICE: The thing is, I’m quite good at eliminating foods from my diet, and at the rate I’m going, by the time I’m thirty I might be eating only one kind of food…and now that I write this, I think that food is going to be rice because it has decided that it’ll never leave my diet. The short story is, I broke this resolution on the second day of January and I’ve decided to try again next year. The world is my oyster.
GROW MY NAILS Between me and you, reader, I don’t think I’m ever going to not bite my nails. I think I’ve passed the development stage where I was supposed to outgrow biting my nails but then I never did and now I’m an adult with the nails of a child. To be honest, the only reason this made it to the list was because I was biting my nails at the time I thought through my resolutions. But who knows, I might just surprise myself one day…in the near future.
BE CONSISTENT IN MY BLOG … *awkward glance* -skips to next point-
START WRITING A BOOK You know what? I actually intend to keep this one and you know why? Because I did not say ‘write a book’; I said ‘start writing’. I like that even in my haste, I still gave myself leeway that I very much intend to leverage. Even if it means I have to write one chapter of said book on the 31st of December.
But on more serious notes, working full time is such a buzzkill. Like yes, you work eight hours in a 24 hours day but like you literally have NO time for yourself save to do essential things. How am I supposed to come home, eat, watch one or two episodes of a show, read a chapter or two of whatever book I’m currently reading, brainstorm blog ideas for the week, write said blog ideas and then brainstorm book ideas, all before I sleep!? + I also have to take free online courses cause apparently you can take me out of school but you cannot take the school out of me.
I think I have like five-six hours to myself each day to do anything after work and I can’t tell if it’s me struggling to create a work-life balance or if society intended for workers not to have a life.
Seriously how do you people do it!?
I think this’s the part of adulting that’s thrown me off balance. Every other thing I accounted for but this…SCARY.

Anyways how has your new year resolutions been so far, and if you work full time, how do you manage to create a work-life balance?
