What a rollercoaster of a year isn’t it? Although the year is coming to an end, I really think the new year isn’t going to be automatically easier. Yes, you can wish for a better year but in the end it is truly up to you to work on it and make it a better year. Simply hoping for a better year isn’t going to cut it anymore, a year after all is a period of time where earth completes one orbit around the sun and a year is made up of 365.25 days and each day contains 24 hours and every hour has 60 minutes etc etc… I hope you, dear reader get the message that I am trying to convey here; It will stay the same when the clock strikes midnight in 31st December 2020 and the new year will be exactly the same as time is just mankind’s way to make sense of things (or if you prefer to go deeper into theoretical physics, time is a consequence of gravity… or was it the other way around?). There’s nothing wrong with hoping for a better year but do follow it up with an action or at-least with a better mindset, I think that is the best we can do for ourselves.
As for me, I know for sure I will have a VERY uncomfortable year as I will have to learn a lot of technical skills for an exploration geologist and also as one of the operations geologist on on offshore drilling rig. It’s going to be challenging but hey, what the hell let’s bring it on. This will be a pretty mundane post simply because my thoughts are still a bit cluttered. Day after day the sun rises and day after day we make new memories, “I wish there was a way to know you’re in the good old days before you’ve actually left them.”
That last line was from The Office. I forgot how I stumbled upon that but I do remember for a fact I know someone who (sensu lato) wrote a dissertation using one of the character from The Office. We had a conversation recently on contentment and what it means to be truly content but we both agreed that contentment is a pitfall and you won’t push for more and you might miss out on greater things in your life. Hence the picture that I used today, this was taken earlier this year. Sunshine, green grass, flowers and blue skies lay just beyond the fence with the barbed wire. Well, I’ll leave that to your interpretation.
Until then,
