what I learnt from free time

 We are all working for something in our life and are busy in our own ecosystem. 

We are either comfortable or stressed. 

From the past 15 days when I was in my semester break something strange happened and would like to share it with you. 

I didn’t want to study in my breaks and so had a lot of time to do something I genuinely wanted to do but could not  due to time constraints in college time. 

The next thought which came into my mind was a plan which I wanted to execute when I was to get some time off. I wanted to make an Instagram page sharing all my stories, poetries and quotes which I’ve written during my semester, something which I've experienced and felt from the bottom of my heart. 

Although the execution was difficult in the beginning and I'm still struggling on it but in this free time of 15 days (about 2 weeks) when I could have binge watched some tv shows [ I restrained myself] or scrolling through social media wasting my time; I spent some good time writing and editing my reels and quotes for posts and really felt amazing from within. 

It always feels good when you can share your content and people appreciate it even in small numbers in the beginning. 

Of Course I still fell empty from within sometimes because my mind Is not always filled with content to write or share but it feels good from within and made me learn so much [ more than I learnt in my 1st year of college]. 

  I would like to share a beautiful quote by Robin Williams from the movie ‘dead poets society’ 

We don’t read and write poetry because it's cute, we read and write poetry because we’re members of the human race...... and the human race is filled with passion.  Medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life; but poetry, beauty, romance, love these are what we stay alive for. 

 

Indeed, its true from every sense, now when I realize that engineering and going to college is really important and necessary to get a job and earn a living but writing and content creation is something when makes me feel alive; like some of us like designing, sketching, sports, oratory, reading, web development, gardening etc. is something which keeps us mentally healthy and living.
