Speaking in Symbolics

3:00 PM

I wonder if it's normal to question your adequacy in situations flung at your direction? I admire people who when things get seemingly unfamiliar, they simply stand there, indifferent to their surroundings. Who let perceptions form without a care in the world. Who know who they are despite the criticisms, despite the burden of knowing they can do better. I look up to these people who come out of the floods with just the water dripping off their backs and perhaps a lesion to their forebrains' which rids them off the memory of the struggle. Or someone who comes out of a fire, unearthed. Someone who comes out of a battle knowing that it was merely a trial.

I wish I had more self control. I wish throwing that box away and vowing never to look at it again wasn't the only option. I wish the will would take over the mind, body and soul. I wish it was easier to let go. I wish things settled in faster.

If only I were braver. To believe in the things I know I am right about. And with the believe, I would argue my case. I wish I wasn't such a push over. I wish I could stop procrastinating.

I wish I could, like everyone else, think of it as just another stupid competition and not care. I wish I could look at myself and laugh about how worked up I am getting over something so trivial.

It seems that doubt, procrastination and indulgence has taken over my life. Sometimes I am so unsure. So lost. So confused. Sometimes, I feel like I'm hanging by a thread. And sometimes, like now for instance, I have too much time to think.

i feel for you! I get that feeling a lot. Nowadays more than ever, as I'm squeezed in between all the workload.

I wish I was like some others, who are just so sure of their capabilities, who know what they want, we don't need others to define them.

Sigh.

But its okay! I'm sure we'll get through this!

Want to take your mind of whatever-you-are-thinking now? Help me think of fundraising ideas! You are great in it right? XD

It's not different to feel that way. Humans are creatures that adapt to its surrounding easily. However, it still takes time to sort your feelings etc. Some choose to ignore, some choose to face it. At the end of the day, it's just a stage in life where sooner or later, you'll pass through it and smile =)

I procrastinate all the time since living alone. Not just with studies, with everything like cooking, laundry, cleaning. It's just that I'm suppose to mend my on life, keep track of bills and stuff and it's hard sometimes.

I know!!!!!!!! I wish u were here to tell me everything n i wish u were here so that i can torture u with even the most minute details of my everyday life. I wish u were here to go into bitch fits with me, coz i haven't been doing much of tht since I got here. I notice that I don't giggle as much here compared to when I hung out with u n ben n cassie n co.... *reminisces*

Erin
oohhh, fundraising ideas... Hmm, i think i've exhausted all my fundraising ideas, thanks to rotaract. All of them sound very cliche at the moment...

I can't get over the procrastination tho. No matter how much I tell myself that I NEED to pull it together. I guess living alone gives you too much freedom that u start taking everything 4 granted. But thanks for the advice! I needed it......

yes, be amused, envious and in awe of others who are seemingly carefree or confident.. but give no more than 2 cents to them.. coz they suck in they're own ways.. all the best in sorting ur stuff out.. things'll be alright.. :)
