Maybe I Just Need to Restart

The day started with wishing my teachers. It feels good to reconnect with teachers you haven’t spoken to much. Sometimes, a simple wish is enough to bring back a little connection.

I didn’t read or write much today, but I did take my class, and honestly, seeing the students understand things and enjoy the session made me feel good.

I don’t know for how long I’ll keep pushing my limits and trying to do everything. Sometimes, I’m not tired of the work itself.

Maybe I’m just tired of constantly trying to keep up with myself.

Every couple of weeks, I get this strange feeling that I want to restart my life again. Change something. Rearrange things. Start fresh. Maybe it’s hormonal, maybe it’s just an evening thought, or maybe sometimes I simply need to pause.

In the evening, I went shopping, bought a few nice things, did some packing, and ordered biryani from Thalairaj Biryani which, by the way, was too good.

I also started thinking about how much our surroundings affect us. Sometimes, even choosing the right place, the right environment, or simply being somewhere new can make you feel different.

And now, with everything packed, it feels like it’s time to leave.

Maybe I don’t need to restart my whole life.

Maybe I just need a little rest, a change of place, and a fresh beginning.
