Poetic Isolation

Hello beautiful readers! It's been a while since I posted something personal about my life. I'm aware that I have posted a number of blogs, but haven't gotten in touch with most of you for quite some time. I have been anxious about life in general where I have to step back from most online interactions. I miss living in the moment and wanted to see life and share it as it is, regardless if it ain't that good. A quick update: I left my job last March and decided to take a new role as a university instructor for college students. Like any neophyte employee, the job has been taxing and stressful, but it is also one of the best things that ever happened to me this year.

Leaving my previous job hasn't been easy. It was heartbreaking in a way that both my mind and my heart were in turmoil when I left. There were so many things that I wish I'd said or done, but I know that it was time for me to leave because I was no longer happy. As much as I don't want to admit it, I have to acknowledge what my heart sees as the truth. I'm not exactly sure if there's something I could do about it, but I am hoping for mental calm and clarity though it pains me to think about it all.

Going back to what's on my plate right now, I am generally contented and grateful for what I have. I know I'll never be free from any suffering, but I am starting to accept life as it is and just try my best to dance in the rain (or storm) if I may. So much has transpired, but I'm saving all those wonderful things for a year-end post. Currently, here are some of the things that make my life a little bit spicier.

READING

Primarily because of work, I have been reading academic reading materials. Aside from this, the only fictional work that I am trying to finish is Milan Kundera's The Unbearable Lightness of Being. I decided to read it out of curiosity and because of someone's recommendation, but really I'm reading it because a guy on whom I currently have a huge crush has it on his list of favorite books. So... 🤪

WRITING

I wasn't kidding when I said that my work takes so much of my time. I am of course working on this blog, but I'm also working on a test paper for my students' final examination. Boy, I have so many ideas in mind, but I always feel that I'm fighting against time, or maybe I shouldn't!

LISTENING

I love listening to Milky Chance's new album Mind the Moon. Every single song in the album feels so good to listen to. Most of the songs make me feel nostalgic and hopeful about so many things. My top three favorites are Fado, We Didn't Make it to the Moon, and Oh Mama. Somehow the beat feels similar yet so different from the earlier songs of the band. Anyway, I'd like to know what you think of their new album.

THINKING

Being asked about what I am currently thinking feels like an attack. I have so many things in mind, but currently, I'm thinking of my bed because it's past midnight and I'm now really sleepy. lol jk I'm making a mental note of how should spend my day tomorrow starting with my first class and checking the weather updates because as per the current local newspaper in our city, some areas will be hit by a typhoon.

HOPING

Currently, I hope I'll get through another hectic week at work and that I'll be both productive and positive. Also looking forward to my birthday real soon which I'll be spending with my loved ones over the beach, tropical fruits, and theme park rides. This is the finals week for my students which means we'll get to enjoy a longer holiday soon so hooray!

WISHING

I don't really believe in wishes because someone told me wishes aren't meant to come true, but well if I should wish, for one thing, it would be his heart. haha jk Let's go for something more profound such as world peace.

LOVING

It's normal to have things that you love about work and things that you don't want to deal with. I must say that the best part of my current work is that I get the chance to teach and learn from amiable students. It's no secret that it is quite a challenge to deal with young learners because they are at their own pace trying to figure out themselves. Fortunately, I am advising talented and empathetic learners who are very much willing to learn new things both in values and in academics.

NEEDING

If work is a dance, then mine would be tango. It has to be filled with passion and most part of it must be done in a snappy manner. I often find myself overloaded with work, and although it isn't necessarily bad, I know that I need to take some time off. A summer getaway in a chilly December would be awesome.

FEELING

At this moment, I am a bit tired, and sleepy, but very enthusiastic about the upcoming days of December, particularly for my upcoming birthday, Christmas, and a planned weekend getaway with my family. My fingers are crossed for all of that! There's nothing wrong with looking at the future on a brighter side right?

I hope good days are coming your way. Ignore my absence; don't ignore me. :)

love lots,
