“No pressure, no diamonds.” (Thomas Carlyle) A lot has happened since the previous post on distant relationships and a lot of time has passed as well (4 months... phew!). It’s been more of a transition phase for me and I have felt emotions I never thought I would experience. Getting a job came with its excitement but working on the job and trying to maintain balance also came with its pressure. Some days I’d tell my dad that I just want to sleep and I’d keep pressing the snooze button till the sun came up and I’d have to make a mad dash to get ready for work in time.   I thought my life would be MADE by now but I still find myself lost and wanting more... I get under a lot of pressure sometimes and try to take deep breaths and tell myself ‘breathe girl, just breathe, it'll be alright’. I never thought growing up would be like this, it leaves me envying kids whenever I see them play. I’m always like ‘play now o, before you start thinking of getting a job’.
