Quitting may be an option...

17th April 2025

But so is trying. I assume I have lived half of my life and in all these years I have understood that quitting is an easier option than not giving up.

I was in the final year of my engineering, in the last semester (8th) and I had backlogs from the third year (one subject from the 6th semester and another one from the 7th) So in my 8th semester I was so loaded with studies, at one point it felt like what if I clear the Final semester subjects and fail in the third year ones? What a shame that would be! That subconsciously made me focus more on my third-year subjects than my final-year subjects which resulted in an average score in the last year (of the 7th & 8th semesters), but I cleared all of it together. Thank God I did not give up!

After my exams were over, I did not have any job opportunities in my hand and I had made up my mind not to return home and be a burden on my parents. While I was searching for jobs in my field, to run my finances, I took up a BPO job. It was for a Canadian process and required a pure night shift. I was flexible with my sleep schedule, all thanks to engineering. But sleeping throughout the day and staying awake all night, I was not sure if I would be able to do it. But there was no other option I was left with. My roommates used to assure total silence and darkness during the day tricked my mind and gave me the feeling of sleeping at night. Thank God I did not give up and instead decided to face the situation anyway.



I wouldn't say I had my life planned and I was not an ambitious career-oriented girl either. I always wanted to be able to express myself, I wanted to do what I love and I wanted to be recognized for my skill. After multiple twists and turns, I landed on writing. A thousand times I feel like quitting. But now, I have a purpose and I don't know what I will do if I give up on that. So thanks to the universe for guiding me and bringing me here doing what I love to do, waiting to be recognized though.

Success is the opportunity not taken. In life, as you keep growing, the challenges only get tougher. So keep at it, and try not to quit.
