![]() We all have those moments where we feel the overwhelm effect of life is gaining on us. As an adult, we tell ourselves that it is just a slump. A momentary lapse in life. It will pass. But recently I have been pondering on whether I have swamped myself to the point where there is not enough space for me to live my life. It is clear to me now that I am actually overworking beyond my capacity. I am juggling so many things: tutoring, mentoring English debate and MUN clubs on and off-campus, giving speeches and workshops around the country, setting up my Education Legion team (https://educationlegion.site/) for future critical thinking teaching developments, and more recently, entering a medical device startup. I am not sure how I managed to stay alive, but my body is telling me my flu might not be seasonal reasons. It could be a red light in regards to my hectic work routine that is flooding my life. I urge everyone to do the same and ask yourself whether the situation right now is the best we can have. If not, what can we do to make it better, and most importantly, what is it that we actually want in life. With everything we are working, can it be fulfilled? Because I am asking myself that very question these 2 weeks. And I am still trying to sort out what is best for myself so that my body won't swirl further into a shitstorm of chaos and sickness. Stay safe, have a bit of fun. I hope your weekend time has been fruitful and pensive like mine.
