What Are The Basics Of Life?

This seems a tricky and very easy question at the same time. I have also yet to think of something like this so far. Today I heard this statement, which struck in the form of a question in my mind. I had to get it out of my system otherwise would surely get insane thinking of it. The term Basic means a starting point or the fundamentals. Then what are the basics of life? Water, air, food, and shelter are things that we studied in our primary school. But after growing up, the basics are the same, but the necessities are changed. And we call it Adulting!  

The Labyrinth of Adulting

 Of course, before writing about adulting, I googled about it. To my surprise, I found a simple line that clearly justifies what people go through. "The practice of behaving in a way characteristic of a responsible adult, especially the accomplishment of mundane but necessary tasks."

I graduated last year and started pursuing a master's, and I faced the greatest fear of my life: being left alone. It wasn't very pleasant, but eventually, I dealt with it with some help and lots of love. But it undoubtedly impacted me in a way that I started keeping myself busy by doing work rigorously. I was trapped in the labyrinth of adulting and forgot what are the basics of life. 

We also see our elder siblings deal with everything with a smile that we can't even accept that things are pretty hard for everyone. Just don't be hard on yourself. I even realized why I enjoy writing, which was once forced by my graduation HOD to write what's on my mind. This is because writings and movies are my escape from the real world to in the ocean of creativity. Eventually, you'll also find a way, it will take time, but you will. Also, you will find the escape from the high walls of the labyrinth of your expectations and know what the basics of your life are.
