I feel I’ve never been more content with my life than i am at this moment. There’s something weird about your 30’s. You see people getting married, yet you want to focus on your plate. One moment you have the FOMO kicking in, the other you are locked in at making your tomorrow better . You grab onto new opportunities like there’s no tomorrow, forgetting the value of turning up to do the same thing everyday, rigorously, without the fear of where it’s gonna lead you. Just for a minuscule of joy but happiness is pointless when you don’t have someone to share it with, who’s equally happy as you for that tiny little achievement. Be it family, friends or your lover. You see things that aren’t right with your daily routine, you work on mending them, still you settle for the comfort zone. You think therapy is the answer but you’re too afraid to ask yourself the right questions in the first place . There’s peer pressure, performance pressure, anxiety, mild hope, everlasting stress to cope up with. If you find a way around all that, you might end up actually where you’ve always wanted to be. For me , becoming a stand-up comedian is a dream i’ve had ever since i realised i could work on what/who i want to be in life but the situation has always forced me to do otherwise. Getting another year wiser and older has made me realise that maybe saying it out loud will help turning that dream into reality.
🥂 to hope, persistence and 31 🙈😛🫶🏻✌🏻
There’s so much to write about this past year, but who wants to hear your struggles ?
I cannot sum up the year in a word or two, or I can’t be grateful again because who isn’t?
But my takeaways could be moving on, patience, and the most important of all, realising it’s never really about the money. Herd mentality might have forced us to go after it, but happiness comes from doing music videos of artists you used to dream of working with. From doing films that travel the world. From shooting ad campaigns for multiple brands. From working with almost every production house in your hometown. From shooting music videos that reflect the harsh realities of your town. From watching your friends getting married. From helping friends set up their businesses. From travelling and taking vacations with them. From buying stupid gifts for your family. From spending time with them. From arguing with them. From crying together, to loving together, to being loved.
Happiness is momentary, grief is everlasting.
When I look back at these events, I can’t remember if I was happy or not. But certainly should’ve been. Don’t follow the herd.
Money is INCIDENTAL , character is revealed in our words and the way we treat others.
After almost 89765 failures throughout my life, this year looks good.
So how bad can it get ?
Waiting for 2026 with clenched fists.
