Inertia, in real Life

Inertia, yes I read about this when i’m in school, definition says

“a property of matter by which it continues in its existing state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, unless that state is changed by an external force.”

And the image that comes to me is of a person sitting in an empty bus and then experiencing a violent jerk as soon as the bus starts. Though the person’s face isn’t visible in my illusion, I can definitely match that individual to a dull soul I’m familiar with (ME).

Yes, it’s about a person watching the world go from remote to hybrid. I’ve been working remotely for 2.2 years and have never been to my office in this covid times. Where I entirely transformed one room into my office and worked for hours on end, conducting interviews, trainings, bootcamps, and tech lectures, literally everything from there. And yes most used phrase is “Can you hear me, I hope you can see my Screen 🙏”

If I need a break from work, I simply look out the window next to me, where I can see vehicles on the road, birds tweeting, and people walking around. And I only leave my room door slightly ajar to see what my mother is up to, such as her phone surfing, and I can listen to the title songs of the most dramatic serials. food, tea, and snacks will all be delivered on time, so there will be no need for me to cook or do anything on my own. On weekends, I make quick trips to my grandmother’s house. If this were my regular routine, all of these activities would appear to be mundane and dull 😐

But when I consider returning to my second hometown (Namma Bengaluru), which is my workplace, just for a visit to my rented apartment and continuing to work from there for a bit, I get excited 💃 But I’m going to miss those in my regular everyday routine. Yes, there are minor details about which I am more concerned. It took me 2.5 years to adjust to the change in my life style from doing everything on my own to having everything prepared for me. Yes, I’m referring these thoughts to real-life inertia. These are the fleeting ideas that flash through my mind, this room will be vacant, I probably wouldn’t be able to peek through the door to see how my mother does things, and I won’t be able to wander out the window.

Yes, but this is the circle of life, and this is how I connect the dots from the past to the future.
