Guilt Trip in a Lockdown

Dear Diary,

It's been several days since the lockdown, and I think I have lost track of time and date. The world is in trouble; people are suffering all over the globe; we are stuck inside our houses. But let's talk about something else that everyone is facing inside our homes. " The Guilt Trip." Even though now I have the leisure time that I always wanted to take a step back and enjoy life, but still, I am anxious by thinking about the future.

Why does it feel like we have wasted time? Isn't the whole purpose of work was to be a helping hand for us to live a life of content, but why is that our ambition has become more important than our happiness. So today I made a resolution that I am going to follow:

So,

Don't over plan, go with the flow ... and you will reach where you are supposed to go......

It's all about balance, we should work for our future but at the same time should enjoy the present as well because both go hand in hand.

I hope you can also enjoy these days without worrying or having a guilt feeling there will be ample time for doing them both. Do whatever you like without regretting it. As life is too short to have regrets.
