It was just another day, I was cooking lunch with my friend and asked her when she would sing and record herself singing. She responded that she came here to do her master's and not to sing. Her response made me wonder why we forget to live our lives, do what we like, and stay happy.
She is a singer and it's been her passion since her childhood. However, she stopped singing once she started focusing on making a living and working towards professional success. She has been focusing only on studies and upskilling herself and denies herself the pleasure that she gets by doing the things she loves.
It got me thinking of how I stopped reading novels, going on nature trips, hanging out with friends, and riding bikes. In the name of going after our dreams, we stop doing things we love. I hope I start doing the things that make me happy and hope you all do too.
