BALANCE BABY BALANCE
Balance. Such a pretty word. Such a messy process.
Honestly? I’m not working yet not in the 9-to-5 office way. But I am a full-time college student, and let me tell you, juggling textbooks, deadlines, mental breakdowns, and a dream is no small feat.
For me, “work” means academics—assignments that pile up faster than my laundry, exams that sneak up like uninvited guests, and that constant pressure to “build a career.” And then there’s the other half of me—the wanderer, the writer, the daydreamer who’s always wanted to blog, to share her soul with the world, to live a life a little more poetic.
But here’s the catch:
Balancing doesn’t mean splitting life into neat little 50-50 pie charts. It’s messier. On some days, studies take the front seat. On others, it’s the words in my heart that demand to be written.
I wanted to start this blog ages ago. But I delayed maybe because of studies, maybe because of procrastination, or maybe because I was scared. Scared that following this passion might sabotage my “serious” life, my “career.”
And yet, here I am. It’s my 12th day blogging. I’m doing it. In the sweet in-between of summer break, I gave myself permission to chase something that lights me up.
So… do I manage to balance my work life and personal life?
NO.
But do I regret it?
That’s a big, beautiful, loud NO.
Because sometimes, chasing your passion is the best kind of chaos. 🌸💻✨
