Smoked a cigarette and realized that life is more than working...

I have been working for over 5 years now. I have recently completed 2 years at EY. It is becoming very apparent that life is more than working.

When I joined EY it felt all rosy first. I was working with a client and it was actually quite fun. I loved going to Aerocity on some occasions and Roseate House was my hangout spot with most of my colleagues.

The vanity is now fading away. Expensive drinks don't make me feel happy any more. Feeling lonelier today than ever before. What is life's purpose? All my life I rarely worked as hard as Science students. Now I earn less than them and feel that I made a mistake. I should have taken Science and studied Engineering. Atleast I would be making better salary.

If you agree with me. Can you please comment? I am feeling so alone in my struggles. Need your support.

Let me tell you a secret, even if u have opted for science and worked in any company, then also you would have felt the same way as now.

Why are you all glorifying smoking? Instead meditate or listen songs or whatever.
End of day your health matters the most and if you smoke you are cheating on yourself.

I have been working with another big 4 from last 1 year. Before that I had a close to 2 years stint with a startup. In previous organisation, made some good friends, still in touch with them. The environment was exceptional, it was fun to work with them. Despite workload, never felt the burden. But now despite being in a big brand, feeling lost somewhere. Don't know where to go. Outside, if i tell someone, this is the issue, people tell are bhai tu bde brand h aage ka soch... But i am not able to think straight. Been more than 1 year I have been to my home.

Take a break. Go home. Then extend leave by any means. Work will never finish. We all will.

One would feel this when one forgets to pay gratitude to what they already have in present. You are able to even breathe without any support, 3 times meal, friends, family, all body parts functioning in right way is at times we forget how fortunate we are. And look at things that might have, should have happened. In fact wherever u are determine to grow there itself. Everything that’s happened to u is for your own happiness

Not taking science has been the biggest regret. Even though I got into a really good commerce college but there's just no way of competing with science folks even from T2/T3 colleges. Cannot imagine how bad it must be for non science T2/T3 people.

I was an engineering student. Studied science, scored 71.9% ( CBSE). I am now doing content work, had to start working after college immediately. Continued working. Hope this makes you feel better.
