’cause time flies
It’s been exactly a year since I unofficially graduated from college and lost myself in the insanity of adulthood. I have loved the freedom since, the rush of responsibility, the financial independence, the stamp of a degree, the corporate chaos. And also hated it.
Life has changed in many ways, and yet, in some fundamental sense, I am still the restless, fickle mind of a young student exploring the ways of the world, looking for adventure in the least likely of places, and forever moving by elimination. I have however, in this year, found a master key to survival – living a day at a time. Of all things that work, this one works wonders. It’s amazing what a day can be, with no future to look into and no past to brood over.
I am not aspiring to be a life coach just yet, so I’ll leave you with these lines from Porcupine Tree,
But after a while, You realize time flies, And the best thing that you can do
Is take whatever comes to you, ‘Cause time flies…
Hi there! I’m Shivya, and I started this travel blog back in 2011, when travel wasn’t trendy, Instagram didn’t exist and AI wasn’t a thing (simpler times, I know!). I write about slow, meaningful and conscious travel – that is good for us, the places we visit, the people we meet along the way, and the planet at large. Settle down, grab a cup of tea, and read stories that remind you of the essence of travel. I’m so glad you found me!
We sit on its back and hope that we have a safe and nice ride 🙂
Haha, absolutely 😀
Don’t think you’ll be all that bad as a life coach 😛
You don’t want to try me! Btw, your blog is really in exile, no?
Zindagi kaisi hai paheli …. 😛 …
😀
your blog kind of makes me realize why anyone gets into blogging in the first place. Its spontaneous…and nice to read.
Thanks donraja 🙂 Hope I’ll be seeing you around here more often!
Interesting thoughts Shivya…
Even I get similar feelings after coming to corporate world. College days were really golden. 🙂
i’m always trying to do that, but forgetting all the time too! its such a key. thanks for the reminder! 🙂
Hey Shivya,
Nice blog !!! I liked it “Life has changed in many ways, and yet, in some fundamental sense, I am still the restless,….”
It is this restlessness which shall help you make a difference. Understand that you are restless and route it to something productive and you shall work wonders.
I have sent you a mail on the id mentioned on your blog to share a new initiative of mine. Hope you shall relpy.
Happy writing.
