UNKNOWN
My mind, my soul it seems lost and unknown to even me, I do not know where I am going, what I am doing, where I am heading to or even where I wanna go ahead in life. Its all Unknown!!
Life, as I lived has always been the most lethargic, easy going, not bothered like attitude where I really didn’t care to make it a good one, i just kept floating on the waves of life, no matter where they took me and how.
My childhood, was spent in a middle class family, but being the sole child never any burden was bought to my notice by my parents. As i grew older I got to know the real life struggles and hardships they had to go through to raise me with a silver spoon.
A bright student in my school days, from being the one to be competitive for getting the top rank in the class till 7th standard to even failing twice during my graduation years. Life has changed drastically for me, and no one else is to be blamed for it than my ownself.
As I headed in my life through my high school I kept on piling up my carelessness. My interest in studies was vanishing. I had gone into a shell of a careless attitude, everything is fine, nothing is lost, things will be fine.. a Total Laid Back Attitude, where I forgot that unless I do something to rectify things they aren’t gonna be fine ever. Parents who were once proud and told everyone that my child is bright in studies were the ones scolding me day in and out for being a failure.
Even after me finally graduating, my mind was never in place, my thoughts were never like enough of this laid back attitude and lets get it sorted. I enjoyed my time post grad. where I used to be sitting at home, chilling, watching movies, playing cricket, going out with friends and basically enjoying life to the fullest.
I finally went for an interview and got selected in my first interview, that was an amazing feeling I cant forget, there were rains and there was beer !!
Finally I felt like life is a bit sorted now, I had my own money in my pocket. But that wasn’t enough, never felt like working there, I joined just because I was fed up with all the bombarding I used to get from my parents for doing nothing and just sitting at home.
I have changed 3 companies till now in my 6 years career and I believe the soul reason for me not getting the feeling of comfort in any is because of a soul reason I feel and that is because I hate to work. This laid back attitude I am carrying puts me in a loop where I am stuck and I do not know in my mind and in my thoughts as to what is right and what is not, where should I head, what should I do and what should I avoid. There is never a clear consensus of it, its all unknown.
Introduce Yourself (Example Post)
This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.
You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.
Why do this?
- Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
- Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.
The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.
To help you get started, here are a few questions:
- Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
- What topics do you think you’ll write about?
- Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
- If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?
You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.
Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.
When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
