Too Busy?

Over the past couple of weeks, life has drastically altered on my end. I’ve barely had the time to sit down and chit chat on social media, let alone find time to put out an article. I am utterly swamped. It’s dawning on me that for the past 3 weeks, I haven’t put out a single article! And it’s really starting to get to me.

Writing is my way of breaking out from reality and it always gives me this immense feeling of contentment, validation and peace of mind. Now that I have been away from it, it feels like a part of me has been ripped off; there is a yearning to find that missing piece.

I am drowning in guilt because deep down I know that if I really want it like I say I do, I can always find a way around my schedule. But I’m just choosing to be reluctant

I also got a bunch of other activities that have been put on hold for the meantime, but I really want to get back to them as well. Even if it means setting aside thirty minutes of my time every day to work on them, it’s better than doing nothing at all.

I find peace and bliss in nurturing new hobbies and skills that will help me grow in one way or another. They keep my mind engaged and help preserve my sanity because the good lord knows I cannot bear to foster an idle mind.

I believe it’s all about priorities. You will always find time for the things you feel are imperative. This I have seen practically with so many people, myself included. So if you claim that you want it so bad but are just too busy for it, then you should ask yourself, is it really in your list of priorities?
