Eight Years Of A Disoriented Career Life – Relatable?
Last week, at therapy, we were discussing why I end up taking multiple final decisions with respect to my career choices every two years. This has started to seem like a futile activity now because I keep circling back to the same field that I’m currently in. The goal of the session was to understand why I constantly choose this field in spite of being internally aware that this is not the best path ahead for me in terms of interest as well as ability to perform beyond expectations. What started as a casual career discussion turned out to be a haunting exploration of my personal insecurities. I’ve partly documented…

Healing The Past Or Growing Forward: How to Pick One
Let’s have a little bit of context first – This Saturday was a disaster. The schedule was horrible and the mess-ups were worse. Over the weekend, the plan was to attend my therapy session and the goal was to feel a little uncluttered in life. Honestly, I was really desperate to find help this particular weekend because lately things have been piling up one after the other.

I took the first chance to pounce at some retail therapy and later scrolled through Practo…
