# Blurred Boundaries: Navigating Work-Life Balance

The line between work and life has blurred. It's a struggle many of us can relate to, especially when working remotely. 

Although I work remotely, I had chosen a coworking space where I can sit comfortably and work. These were in the early days of my new job. I would accompany my wife, as her office was nearby my coworking space. I used to enjoy our daily commute together, but now it's a rare occurrence. 

As the rains began, the commuting became harder. We used to travel on scooter to avoid traffic. Wearing raincoats and travelling large distances on road at night after late hour meetings was had especially at locations where there was no street lamps. The late evening calls after the work hours along with the rains just made the condition worse. And I am stuck at home now.

The rain outside only adds to the sense of isolation, making it even harder for me to disconnect from work. 

As someone who values work-life balance, I'm finding it increasingly difficult to separate the two. It's as if work has become an integral part of my daily routine, bleeding into my personal time. The constant pressure to meet deadlines and attend late-evening meetings is taking a toll on my health. I'm not alone in this struggle, and I'm grateful to have a supportive system that's trying to help me cope.

The complexity of this situation is overwhelming at times. I feel like I'm losing myself in the process, and it's affecting my overall well-being. I'm torn between meeting my professional obligations and nurturing my personal relationships. It's a delicate balance, and I'm still figuring out how to navigate these uncharted waters.

The sensation of not being able to do something I love and my inability to understand and appreciate my own passion and talent has had a drastic effect in my professional trajectory. Now, the isolation adds to this, making my life more miserable and boring.

Perhaps it's time for me to reassess my priorities and set some boundaries. It's essential to recognize that my health and relationships are just as important as my job. I need to find a way to reclaim my personal space and make time for the things that bring me joy and fulfillment. The journey ahead won't be easy, but I'm determined to find a better balance between my work and life.

At least I could try to do something I love, so that I don't feel like my work is eating up my life.
