A balance is what I seek! And I've found what I sought to seek.
Finally, a balance between my personal life and work life!
Movie and a couple of drinks with batch mates once every fortnight; late night supper/ meal dates during weekends with uni mates; additional family time(includes ferrying my bro to and from tuition); some time to myself for maintenance purposes(facial, hairdresser etc.) LOL!; a clear defined line separating my personal matters at work which aims to foster a healthier relationship at work.
And I am genuinely happy and contented with that! Doing awesome at work and having a great time outside work. Gone were the days where I would quietly place myself in my room on a Fri/ Sat night to study and drown in sorrow while the rest of the world are out having fun. Or even spend the day baking only because I have nothing better to do.
Nowadays, I find comfort in awesome company and food, of course!
Work related gossips are best left to my batch mates to spread; my general interest and personal problems are best left to my non work-related friends; strictly engagement related issues are best left to my colleagues to resolve; career pathway/ welfare issues are saved up for the family and friends; awesome food-hunting would be in the company of my uni-mates; my fortnightly alcohol fix and late night movie dates would be with work batch mates!
And doesn't that cover like every little aspect of my life?
And these are the littlest things that complements during myrare stay indoor: -
Doors opening/ closing and the occasional slamming; Voices of ppl in disagreement(bro vs. dad); Sound of the table being set for meals; The general consensus that everyone should be at the dining table during meals(except if I am at work!)
Like I said, I couldn't be happier! I hope u are too! :)
