The Beginning

Living is magical... but it doesn't always feel this way.

I decided to go back to college because I wanted to learn a skill, or something that would answer my need to live a fulfilling life.

However, after the first year of great interest in my classes, fatigue kicked in and the interest got lost under the weight and pressure of studying for a grade (an A, and nothing else).

Boredom filled the space outside of study hours and I erred completely oblivious to that filling of awe and fulfillment that I was aiming for.

Almost two years later, it feels like I am on the verge of waking up from this wandering.

Somehow, recently, I remembered that there was a time when "being the best", "making the most money as I can in life" were not my main preoccupations. I remembered that there was a time when I did what I wanted because it felt that that was ME. This feeling of authenticity with myself was so strong that I thought nothing would prevent me from being happy.

Shortly after this episode, I stumbled upon a book, "The Meaningful Life" by Nikkyo Niwano.

This is The Beginning of this blog. While I am still a student, and while I am still aiming for As, I want to spend some time, regularly, to focus on the things that somehow "resonate" in me and drive my passion for Life.

If you are reading this post, I'd be happy to read about your thoughts. Just drop a comment :-)
