We are 6 months into 2024 and I haven’t achieved all my goals yet.
We are 6 months into 2024 and I haven’t achieved all my goals yet. Let’s be true to ourselves, this is the stance of millions worldwide. We all have made our New Year resolutions and have faltered in our discourse of being consistent and true about it. To be consistent in your stance, you need clarity and focus on what you are headed towards, when the head is lost in aimless directions of what should be, we lose our sight of what we are and where we should be headed. In absolute honesty, I too was directionless in the first 6 months of my existence in 2024. To give you more insight into my journey here is my account of the first half of 2024-

Eclipsed Memory: Guardians Of Unity
Itsukari awoke to the dim, flickering light of phosphorescent crystals embedded in the walls of a cavern. His head throbbed with a dull pain, and a cold sweat clung to his skin. He tried to piece together any shred of memory but found nothing. No name, no past, no reason for being here. As he sat up, the cave's ceiling loomed above, adorned with intricate stalactites that sparkled faintly.

Savages
Can we become a bit Kafka-esque. Franz Kafka (1883 – 1924) was a German-language novelist and writer from Prague. He is widely regarded as one of the major figures of 20th-century literature. His work fuses elements of realism and the fantastic. It typically features isolated protagonists facing bizarre or surrealistic predicaments and incomprehensible socio-bureaucratic powers. Kafka's work has been interpreted as exploring themes of alienation, existential anxiety, guilt, and absurdity. His best known works include the novella The Metamorphosis and novels The Trial and The Castle. The term Kafkaesque has entered English to describe absurd situations like those depicted in his writing.

The Hiring Mirage
When employees join a new organization, they are greeted warmly and presented with many promises. They hear about the company's dedication to innovation, teamwork, and personal growth.

An ode to the contradiction of mortal existence
Their life looks so magnanimous and perfect, oh how unfortunate I am to live in mediocrity! The notion of the ambush of abundance on the opposite end of our perceptive spectrum is the most notable contributor to the experiences of gut-wrenching self-doubt and comparison which in turn leads to insecurity and lower self-esteem. How often have you found yourself in the being of experiencing constant self-deprecating your competence and abilities? Have you seldom found yourself guilty for not believing in yourself, or discounting your worth on the hands of others? If you relate to this, this piece is for you. To err is human and to forgive is divine. There is humanness in finding yourself amidst the brevity of nerve-wracking chaos, you are not unworthy or incompetent because you feel like you are a mess or life is not working out the way you exactly want it to work out.
