Taking a Pause⏯️
Lately, I’ve been scrolling through 𝕏 and feeling this weird kinda thing.
Young founders closing funding rounds.
Teenagers building ML tools.
Friends shipping projects at 3am with coffee-mug captions.
Everyone’s building something. Products. Startups. Personal brands.
And here I am, pausing- not burnt out- not broken— just... pausing.
And in a world that rewards motion, that pause can feel like falling behind.
But what if it’s not?
We live in a time where being busy is worn like a badge of honor. Somewhere along the way, “doing” became more valuable than “being” . Every time I hit pause, there’s this inner guilt saying that I should be learning a new framework,reading about Web3 or writing another blog. But I’ve come to realize that constant motion doesn’t always mean progress. Sometimes, it’s just noise. I used to think rest was just the absence of work. But it’s so much more.
Not comparing my Day 3 with someone else’s Day 300 softened my inner critic. I reminded myself that I’m not a machine. I’m a person with seasons, rhythms, and days where doing nothing is exactly what I need. So,if you’re feeling overwhelmed,if everyone seems to be sprinting while you’re just catching your breath—pause. This is for you:
There’s peace in stillness. There’s strength in silence.
And most importantly, there’s you—outside the algorithm, beyond the deadlines, just being. That’s enough. The noise outside will never end. There will always be another update, another milestone, another reason to hustle. But remember that your worth was never tied to any of it.
