As I sit today to write something,

I’m out of ideas.

Nothing.

Blank.

I’m asphyxiating in the social media feed; seeing my friends start a new adventure at new companies, cities, and even countries makes me question

where I am in life?

How can I measure my progress?

I feel I haven’t made any improvement because I focus on the results, the end goal, but I guess

I’m wrong here,

every day counts,
even the days I lie in bed,
even the days when I eat icecream,
even the days when I wake up early,
even the days when I watch the sunrise,
even the days when I hit the gym,
and today was one of those days.

The lyrics, “How can I swim when I’m drowning.” summarize the past few months of my life.

Sometimes one has to hit rock bottom to bounce back again.

So, hold on.
