Make time for yourself (#109)
No work and no play make "Bai" a stressful and sad guy with a lot of worries in his mind (hahaha).
Since the beginning of this year, there have been a lot of worries in my mind, busy with work and don't even have time for myself.
When you look at how the economy of the country is falling every day, you are not going to be a happy person.
Mad people without losing any of their senses are all over the country working frustrated.
Thousands of students graduate from universities every year but have no jobs.
Parents are expecting their children to help them after graduation to take care of the home, the unfortunate part is no job, no salary.
For over three months now I don't even have time for myself not to talking about going to see family.
Not even calling them frequently as it is to be before, the job has taken all my time which I have to 100% committed to my job.
There is a saying (no food for the lazy man), that is why people work tirelessly to achieve their goals.
But the worst part of it right now all over the country people who for salary are complaining.
In less than three months fuel prices rise three times if I could remember, because of that everything in the market has changed.
Not talking about transportation, this is frustrating, with all these prices rising salaries remaining the same.
In this country, you will spot someone from a far distance well dressed, you will think he was talking on the phone.
But I know that person was seriously working frustrated on the street with so many problems on his head talking to himself.
The heart is in pain, we pretend to be "OK" when we see others coming because it might be their problems are bigger than ours.
On the 11th of June 2022, Saturday evening a friend of mine call me.
Bai what's up! I want us to go and play soccer tomorrow at 7:00 am Sunday morning, please don't say no.
I was stressed and had a lot going on in my mind, I need to think about how to make more money, time is not in my favour.
He knows that I am going through pressure at the moment, and he wants me to chill out with them so I can feel a little bit of relief.
He forced me and I accept, we went out the other day as it was planned, it was fun.
In the evening we went to the beach love with that, it was my first time since I came to "Makeni" I went to the beach.
Seriously I felt so good to be among them, it cost me less than I think it was and I did not want to spend money because of things ahead of me.
Guess what, I'm almost late for work the "Monday" morning, I have a sound sleep and a beautiful night, it has been a while I felt that way.
This is advice for us all, once in a while we need to relax our body, mind and soul.
But by so doing you can be fresh and active for a new start, it will also help your body to be active.
Sometimes you need to forget about your problems (problems will never finish in this life).
Be focused, be strong, trust and believe in what you do, and raise your head high, don't give up.
Most importantly have quality time for yourself, life is too short, don't forget to worship God in heaven.
Stay safe and have a peaceful weekend.
