"Besides being complicated, Reality, in my experience is usually odd. It is not neat, not obvious, not what you expect...Reality is usually something you could not have guessed" -C.S lewis
So i'm finally getting it started..."taking a break"....and i do agree to what C.S Lewis quotes, of reality being complicated, being odd and unpredictable. Back then in school, i thought i would finally be sure of my "calling" when i finally graduate. But here is the unpredictable reality-i'l be graduating in a few weeks or so and i am still confused with what i really want to do. So i finally decided to take a year break. i'm caught up with mixed response....some said its a waste of time to take a break from studies when you're still young, while some really encouraged me saying that it will help me to figure out what i really want to do. I followed the latter. I know, i'm taking a big risk-for someone who grew up in Nagaland-its a waste of time they say and also because i am not sure what i'm going to do for the next 12 months of my life....maybe end up being jobless, visit new places, meet new people, make new friends, learn new lessons....
I'm being a bit apprehensive, wondering if i'm not able to do anything substantial. But let me get it straight, i am not going to expect or predict reality.....i am just going to try to live and grow to my maximum potentials for the next 12 months of "taking a break". i'll try to 'thrive' i reckon. Along the way i know i'm going to sleep, be lazy but maybe i'd just let my hair down, try being comfortable with 'being uncomfortable' and maybe catch a star or two....
