Finding My Path: A Journey of Reflection and Change

My life has always been comfortable, never had the complete taste of responsibilities as it's been taken care of by my father before marriage and by my wife after marriage.

Some feel it's a boon, yes, it's a boon but if you are a person who has a vision of the future, it's going to be harsh in the coming future.

The respect you get now is not earned as it's a byproduct, the same will continue and you will feel the difference.

I don't have the vision to see the future or that kind of thinking. But I have seen some people in my life who show myself just like a mirror.

Why I'm Here

This brings me here to be more open and share my opinion on life and my journey on how it's going on.

I am going to be as discreet as possible not because someone might recognize me, just want to see how I can manage in that way.

Current Status

Let me share my current status:

I am a 35-year-old Indian male, been working for nearly 12 years with a very low package for my age, married to an earning woman who is 2 years younger than me but earns more than me. For our marriage of 6 years, we have a 4-year-old daughter.

I know the first question everyone has after reading the first line: In which universe this will happen—guy earning less than girl and they get married. Here comes my comfort zone legacy.

Attempts at Change

So, throughout my married life, there has been a discussion on how I am going to settle in life.

  • Attempt 1: Tried moving to a different stream because of my age. That failed.

  • Attempt 2: Tried moving abroad but I lost my job in the recession and got a better package simultaneously my wife's health deteriorated. I can say her health is the primary reason.

  • Attempt 3: This one, I am moving to something I have an interest in but my comfort zone is blocking me.

Today's Reflection

Here is the plan: The more I reflect on my work, the more I will understand where I am lacking and work on it.

Feb 1st, 2025

I woke up at 7:30 AM, done some house chores, and helped out my kid with a few things and made some updates to track my expenses.

Went out to take care of some things but not work or career-related.

Started writing about work things which I have been pushing away for a long time even though it's Saturday, I worked on it. Did not complete it, just started it.

That's all for now. We'll see how it goes tomorrow. Until then...

Tales of Procrastination to Productivity Day -51

March 23rd 2025 Today I woke up a little late but took care of most things. Started off good, no gym, had good food and soft drinks. Let's put a stop to soft drinks now. Masturbated again but did not feel bad about it. The long-awaited step is already taken, so I need to start working on it. From 31st March 2025, I hope everything goes well. Until then.

Tales of Procrastination to Productivity Day -13

Today was a hectic day at work. I managed to handle the issues, but it took up most of my time and energy.  I hope my efforts will be recognized by my colleagues. I know it's okay not to be productive every single day. Focusing on one thing at a time is a good approach. I felt the urge for sex and watched porn, but I didn't masturbate. I think that's acceptable as long as I maintain control. I only did it to relieve stress. I should find a new, interesting hobby that I can do at home to help manage stress.  Something non-physical. I'll think about it. Until then...

Tales of Procrastination to Productivity Day -65

April 6th, 2025 Woke up late at 7:30, swimming class was at 8:00. I reached late but completed the class. Came home, had a bath, but masturbated twice because I felt like it. I'm still high and don't know when I'll manage this. But okay, I cleaned myself, prayed to God as it's a festival today, and hoped the remaining day would go well. It did not go well. I masturbated again twice. Not feeling that bad, but I'm not sure why I'm doing this. I want to go back to being the curious and fun guy I was. People used to have a good time with me. I'm turning into a creeping, ugly person which I want to change. Going to sleep didnot mastrubate again and no softdrinks. Let's catch up tomorrow. Until then adios...!!!
