Thank You for Your Wishes
Thank you for all the well wishes. I am overwhelmed by the response. The purpose of my blog is to share my daily thoughts and also reaching out to those who are struggling in life that they are not alone.
Before I started this blog. I was angry and bitter towards life. I blame everyone in my life. I blamed my parents for their teaching telling me not to take any risk in life. I blamed my wife and kids because I started my family young and I felt that I got held back by family commitments. All my life, I took the easy way out. The safety net of a regular salary. Don't stand out and do what I have been told. I felt helpless and I was running out of time. Eventually I got tired of myself.
In my early forties, my mind was not in the right place. My life and career are going nowhere. I wanted to kill myself by making it like an accident. What stopped me? The insurance payout is not enough to cover my family's education and expenses. I was such a loser that I did not even buy enough insurance coverage for the family.
One day, it dawned on me that there are many men who are in the same spot as I am. They too are helpless. What can I do? I do not have answers, I can only tell them that they are not alone. Maybe the world does not understand their silent struggle, but I understand. I could be their echo chamber, but I have enough negativity.
My writing journey has been therapeutic. Every day I would ask myself what positivity and lesson I can share with the world? Writing has helped me to sleep and also to see the lighter side of life. If everything is someone's fault, I can never make any changes. It is only through taking ownership and action. It all started from this blog.
I have big dreams and ambition but never thought that I can achieve it. When I read your messages, I could not sit still and have to pace around the room. We never met but you all took your time to reach out. For that I am eternally grateful.
