Streaming on multiple boats

 The sad truth sometimes is that you try to keep pleasing everyone. You try to keep everyone on the boat with you but the boat can only handle as much before it sinks taking all on the boat as well. So, you try to compartmentalize, taking care of people along the way. Sometimes a bit too much, causing one to feel left out in the process, even though you did not intend to. The ideal way to circumvent this is by creating a clear communication channel among the people, explicitly stating your plan. And if there is a change in the plans, you should step forward more. In those scenarios, clear communication amasses an even greater role.

Sadly this wisdom came so very late to me after I had a grueling argument over whom I was giving a priority to. That too at a great cost. My plan always was to meet my partner but everything I did looked so confounded that I cannot forgive myself. Though he was always the ultimate priority and the main reason I was going to Delhi was meeting him but it felt like I was prioritizing someone else when it was never the case. We never properly sat together to plan out anything. I can only say about myself and where I was wrong and what I could have done to make this better.
