I have to admit that I have a habit of procrastination. I tend to leave things until the last minute. So, I'd like to tell you about a time when I had to finish something quickly, and that was my wedding shopping. Yes, I'm getting married. I got married this year in January, and last year in December, I was working at a company as an administrative assistant. I had a lot of responsibilities, and I also had to manage my own wedding. I took care of all the planning, decoration, and shopping, because I was the bride, and being a bride is a big responsibility. You have to take care of your skin, health, and shopping, while also managing your time with your parents because you're getting married and moving to a new home. It's important to spend time with your parents. So, I decided to resign from my job, and after that, I quickly managed to finish my shopping. It was a real challenge for me to finish everything in just two months because I resigned in mid-November, leaving me with only one and a half months for shopping and preparation. And in Indian weddings, we have two to three functions where we have to wear different colors for each event. I had to prepare and look my best for each one. So, I needed to finish my shopping in just one month, leaving the last 15 days for taking care of my skin. I was really doing everything quickly, and something I missed in my life was enjoyment. I didn't enjoy the task at all. After all the hustle, I really needed some time to relax.
