Yes, I need a break. From what? My own thoughts.

Do you need a break? From what?

Life feels like I’m always wiping the same table, day after day. While I’m at it, my mind whispers, “Remember when you tripped in front of the whole class?” over and over, like a broken record.

Sometimes I wonder if these memories have a deeper point. Are they here to teach me something? Or is my mind just bored and wants to bug me? Maybe both.

We humans share this odd dance. It’s like picking up the same coffee mug each morning. We see a stain that never really goes away. That stain is a lot like our regrets. They stick around, reminding us where we’ve been and what we’ve done.

So, do I need a break? Yes, from that endless loop of cringe in my brain. If I can’t turn it off, I’ll at least learn to grin at it. After all, a mind full of silly stories means I’m still alive and trying. And that’s something, right?

My blog is where my mind goes to empty itself—the laughter, the tears, the whole messy lot of it. For years, I worked in the brewing industry, not to climb career ladders, but for the people I met and the life I lived along the way. Those experiences fuel the stories I tell now. I've always been drawn to writing, mostly the no-rules, no-fuss kind of personal journaling. My blog is an extension of that—a place where I can share the most hilarious moments, like the time I mistook a bottle of beer for soda and ended up giving it to an unsuspecting guest, and the bittersweet ones, like saying goodbye to my childhood dog, Mani. It's all here, unfiltered and real. If you're looking for perfectly polished prose, you won't find it here. But if you appreciate honesty and a glimpse into the ups and downs of life, then welcome to my world.
