I am so sorry.

In my last blog, I said that I might not be blogging for a while but I would be checking the comments section daily like I would do usually.

However, I was too tired both physically and mentally to do it.

A thousand apologies.

I am very sorry that I have not been checking the comments section daily.

This might have made some of you worried.

Please forgive me.

This is just a quick blog to say sorry and to say I am OK.

I have been enjoying (virtual) life a lot in the last few years.

What happened was a reminder that real life can be brutal.

Things can go very wrong from time to time.

It could be a lot worse than just getting lemons.

It could take a while before things settle down.

Time will heal.

I must believe this.

Know that we are here for each other. 

Life will not be the same but life will go on.

I want to thank everybody for their kindness and encouragement.

I promise I will read and reply to all your comments soon.

Please don't worry. 

If AK can still talk to himself, he is OK!

Death in the family.

In a recent blog, I said that the COVID-19 pandemic changed my views on many things.

Life is so fragile and it could end quite unexpectedly.

Although I feel that everyone should try to achieve financial freedom, I understand that it isn't everybody's cup of tea.

So, live and let live.

This is something I have been saying for many years.

Nothing is more important to appreciate than this.

We have only one life to live.

We have a responsibility to ourselves to be happy.

We also have a responsibility to others, especially to those who matter to us, that even as we celebrate our right to happiness, we do not compromise theirs.

Of course, we cannot always be happy.

It is even harder to ensure that people around us are always happy.

There will be good days.

There will be bad days.

This is true for all of us.

We are only human and can be unkind to people when we are unhappy.

We lash out at people closest to us as they are the ones we are most likely to take for granted.

Of course, this is wrong.

Try to make amends later and try to be a better person in future.

Our wealth can grow if we do the right things.

However, our time on earth is limited.

We don't want to learn that we had a good thing in life only after we have lost it.

Of course, we get angry sometimes.

With people we care about, we might get even angrier.

Be angry but don't stay angry for too long.

Always think of the good that is in that person.

Think of past kindness received.

We are all unique individuals.

Even twins are not 100% alike.

Things are rarely perfect in life.

No one is perfect.

Everybody makes mistakes.

Be more forgiving.

We might not be selfless but we can try to be less selfish.

If you think that I am not feeling 100% now, you are right, but I am still OK.

I always like to say "all in good time".

It will take time for things to get better.

I remind myself that life has to go on.

However, there is a chance I might stop blogging or replying to comments for a while.

Of course, this wouldn't be the first time but it would be for a different reason.

So, it is important that I talk to myself about this.

Still, I will try to check the comments section daily.

If AK is still talking to himself, do not worry. :)
