Sometimes it's easy to get overwhelmed by all the piled up work and end up doing nothing. I had dishes to wash, washed clothes to fold and arrange in the wardrobe, oraganize my dressing table, clear my phone, do my pending work, and rest for some time. Today I woke up by 5.30am and couldn't sleep during the day even though I was tired. All these pending work made me feel overwhelmed and made it difficult for me to sleep.
I watched the movie Mrs. Chatterjee Vs Norway, and was in tears. It made me understand the importance of love between partners and the blessing it is when you get a caring and understanding partner who treats you as an equal. Even though it seems like a pre-requisite to a marriage, it breaks my heart to see countless women suffering everyday. What did they do to deserve all this? Why do they not get love from their partner, when it should be the natural instinct? It's not the displays of affection that seem unusual to me, but the lack of love and care that seems unnatural. Love is the core of creation. Where did we lose it?
Anyhow, we need to go on right! I remembered my partner and the things he does in our home. He doesn't think he's helping with My chores when he does something in the kitchen. He doesn't rest on Sunday, his only day off in the week, but he chooses to clean the entire home. And he doesn't think he's doing me a favor by doing so. He takes responsibility in Our Home and he does whatever he wants to do to feel at home. We do clean together, cook together and everything else. But some chores he likes to do more than I do, or some chores I don't like doing so he chooses to do them instead. I like to cook, come up with new recipes and experiment, so that became my forte. He likes to keep the home spick and span, so that became his. It is that simple. And it came naturally to us. That's what I think love is. It's not just in the fancy dates, but also in how you treat each other every single day.
Let me come back to my chores. I realised that I had two options. 1. Roll around in the bed lazily and let the work pile up even more or 2. Get up and start doing one single work. And I chose the later. It took me 15 minutes to do the dishes, 10 minutes to fold my laundry, 15 minutes for this write-up, and let's see how many minutes to organize my shelf. I just had to apply the two minute rule. I'm sure we all are aware of so many productivity tricks, tips, and hacks. But somewhere down below, we tend to question our self-worth, ability and skills.
Take this as a sign to just get started on whatever is gnawing your brain and do it now.
Let me now wrap up this haphazard piece which has pieces of my mind. This is me Svarah...Sayanora!
