Mental peace...

My mind is in a much better place than it was a week, two weeks, a month ago, two months ago...

So much happened during this time.

Losses, of many kinds. Harsh experiences. Depressing thoughts.

But I think it might be okay...ish. 

Why? Because I had a small feature to make for work. A task that has been stuck on my computer table since ages. 

It wasn't that big but required some thought.

And that is what I wasn't able to do.

Think.

Or at least think about the task. I could think about every other thing specially the ones I didn't want to think about.

But today, after a forty day sabbatical, I finally got working. 

And guess what? 30 minutes of thinking and the feature is almost done. 

To be fair. I had completed almost all of it before the big leave and I was stuck at one small part.

Now for all you non-tech folks out there, this might not make sense so it's okay to just skip over the next line.

I was doing a post where I needed to do a patch. So naturally my requests yielded no results.

This just proves something that is already proven so many times that mental peace is so important. When you're at peace, or when I used to be, which seems like such a long time ago that I can't even pinpoint a specific time, I took it for granted. It's just like you take your breathing for granted but when your nose is blocked, you realize its importance.
