It’s a wonder how priorities change.

I look at the youth of today and see that they have the same interests I had a couple or so years back. I feel nostalgic yet distant. I remember sharing the same interests as they do, sometimes even more passionate.

But here I am, concerning my self with ‘adult’ things: work, finance, responsibilities. Issues I couldn’t care less before, but now is a matter of life and death.

Yet in the distance, I feel there are so much more. Looking outside while taking a break, I know there are infinite possibilities to look forward to.

But the moment, in the here and now, stuck at the office doing overtime work.

I can only sigh.

One of the main reasons I haven’t been able to blog lately is that my life has been segregated into various forms of microblogging.

Moments of my life have been summarised into 140 characters publicly and privately. I share any trivial or random stuff via an intuitive sharing community. I tag all online researches or interesting links I find via online bookmarking. These and everything else — can be random videos, feed finds, blog feeds — are then currently aggregated to my umbrella site, which was formerly my portfolio.

And because my current work doesn’t exactly involve work I’ve trained my self with, I am getting a bit rusty. So work I get on the side helps a lot, and as well tinkering around all my current sites. But my busy schedule hasn’t been really kind, having a day-job that extends til evening and being a full-time wife now.

I have so many designs in my head I can’t put to good use yet. I don’t have the time for my personal projects like I did before. (Hence using a good WP theme from 5thirtyone)

I sometimes feel guilty that I don’t get to update this blog as much as I could before. But then I told my self that I shouldn’t feel pressured into blogging often. This is my own place for my own run-on thoughts however mundane or serious they may be. So I might not be able to blog often, but I’d still blog.

I am currently in the eye of the storm. A very strong one.

I have already faced the initial wrath of the storm, but I am here waiting for the inevitable torrents it will still bring.

There were no warning signs. Not even the most reliable of meteorologists could have guessed it. There were these random minute circumstances, but everybody passed it off as trivial things. But no one thought it would be this huge.

I have nowhere to run, I have nowhere to hide. I can try to shield my self from it, but it will still come.

The fear has latched onto me and is crushing me. But I must stay strong, or at least appear to be. Because if I falter, I will break and everything around me could bury me into despair.

All I have is hope, and even that is so little.

I know this will pass. I just hope I survive it… and live.
