Lazy Soul in a Busy World

Been a while since my last post.

Feeling a little overwhelmed

by the nonstop tide of

to-dos and responsibilities

in this fast-paced life.


I’m a restless soul

tossed into endless waves of tasks,

often dreaming of escape—

or at least of letting go

and easing up on my ego.


But I know I can’t ease up on my ego

because I’m not just a lazy soul

seeking comfort and ease—

I’m also an eager heart

yearning for recognition

and a deeper sense of self-worth.


Funny how I once enviously longed

for a life like this when I had nothing.

Now, I often find myself dreaming of escape,

yet I still want to hold on to

all the good things I have.

Hey, you know you can’t have it all,

you greedy soul!


Maybe I just need a break.

Winter break is just four weeks away,

and I can hardly wait.

During the time off,

I’ll eat and drink,

cook and bake,

stay up late and sleep in,

run every day,

read and write,

catch up with good people,

and then repeat it all over again.

A few centimetres of snow would be

the perfect finishing touch to the vibe.
