Coding My Dreams into Reality: Finding Balance Between Passions
I’ve been finding my groove lately dedicating my time to writing code for my personal website.
One of the difficulties that I’ve been finding myself experiencing at this point in my life is juggling all my hobbies and passions together while seeking work-life balance.
I’ve been finding it more gratifying to write code, but I struggle with doing everything else that’s also crucial to my success and self-discovery.
I usually write and publish on Medium one article a day.
I used to also post dance videos on TikTok and Instagram as a way of putting myself out there.
But now, I feel like I’m almost isolating from others when I am committing myself to writing code.
It’s just me and the laptop scrimmaging away at each other, and I am unsure if that’s an okay thing to do.
I do know that it’s typical of software engineers to grind away and burn the midnight oil.
Yet, I am aware of what got me feeling confident and capable enough to write code isn’t necessarily my everlasting love for coding.
