My first post in a LONG time.....

So I've been a hermit for the past year or two. What has happened to the beloved pegz these past 2 years? Let's just say, there was the good, the bad and the ugly. A lot of new experiences, new friends, old friends, testing of my faith, and most importantly, transitioning into adulthood and adjusting into the working world.

So how was life after school ended? You know, its pretty freakin good! The thought of no more exams, going to classes, pullling all those all-nighters and freaking out about grades is completely wonderful! You can finally say to yourself..."the war has ended". But little did I know.....it was the beginning of another war, metaphorically speaking.

The working world definitely has its advantages, you get income flowing in, 'work to rule' - no more homework! You can have the evenings to yourself and such. Seems pretty good but of course, i'm just skipping to the good part. Let's not forget about the part where you had to hunt for a job and all those issues that arises while at the job. There's the long commute, there's the work politics and there's the never-ending pile of work that keeps arriving at your desk. That really sucks the life out of the fun eh? I would say so.

We may have our evenings free but after a long day's work, you can barely move. Someone has to actually drag you out of the house to really do something (for me at least). In addition, you can't stay out for too long because you have to wake up tomorrow morning and its another LONG day. So basically, you only have a few hours to yourself before your day starts all over again. What exactly do I have time for? How do you maintain your relationships? How do you maintain your spiritual life when you're bombarded with work? Spare time has now become.....a luxury.

I miss those summer days.......those days when I had a summer. When I had the time to read a good book with a nice cold iced-tea. Life has become the "B" word........haha....."Busy". Aside from work.......you have a life. That's why you feel like just doing it all. You don't want to miss out on anything! You want to make the most out of your life and time. Because you want to do everything.....you slowly and slowly burn out........

By God's grace, I haven't been burnt to a crust.......yet :) I've been burned......but not to a crust :D I'm still figuring out why we want to cram in so much when we're in our twenties. I don't know where that idea generated from. I mean, its still the beginning of our lives, really. I don't think God has intended for us to accomplish the most for him only at this age. I'm still figuring that out. I want to think differently, I want to live differently.

The biggest lesson that i've learned and still learning is, to cut the fat out of our lives. To focus on living out our Life's purpose. The reason why we feel burned out is because we do a lot more than what God initially intended for us. And if you're a control freak like me, we like to do everything ourselves.......we just have to learn to...."let go".

I think that's enough for my first post. More to come. Blogger world......I'm back.....
