In a Pause, Not Lost
Salam everyone,
I just wanted to share a small and honest snapshot of where I am right now.
After two years of working professionally in the Pakistani corporate market, I consciously stepped away. Not because I failed, but because I felt drained. I rejected the corporate routine to choose myself, my freedom, and my peace.
Before those two years, I was freelancing. It was unstable and inconsistent, which pushed me toward an onsite job for structure and steady income. I stayed, I learned, and I endured. But eventually, I reached a breaking point. I was tired, mentally exhausted, and disconnected from myself.
Right now, I feel like I am in between things. My routine is off, my sleep is completely upside down, my prayers are inconsistent, and professionally I am trying to understand what comes next. It is 2 am as I write this, which says a lot on its own. Nights have become louder than days, and thoughts tend to spill out when everything else goes quiet.
I am sharing this not to explain myself or to sound deep, but because this phase feels real and unfiltered.
If you relate, feel free to read along or share your thoughts.
