Right-o. Hello folks! Sorry for the lack of update, I’ve been feeling the pressure at school. I have three assignments due on the same day this upcoming month, plus, I have weekly presentations, and my thesis work (which I am receiving no supervisor support at the moment) so I have been feeling the stress. Today, however, I decided to take the day off and just bum around. I caught up on my shows, went for a nice walk along Bridge of Allan, and ate junk food. It was grand.
Today, I want to talk about making mistakes and big choices. I have friends right now who have their life figured out. They have a goal and a plan. I also have friends who do not. They have a dream, and willpower. Either one, I feel, is a great thing.
My sister just turned 16 this year, and already she is stressing out about AP classes, and SAT scores, and what she wants to do in life to get a decent job. And then, I think about. She is 16! 16! How is she going to know what she wants at age 30, when she doesn’t even know what she wants to watch on Netflix? They should be worrying about trying to figure out themselves, and their personality than figuring out what job they want to do for the rest of their lives.
In high school, we are told what to do, how to think, what we should wear, even what we should eat. Then, during senior year, you are asked to make the choices that will dictate your life. We aren’t living in the 1800s. We are advanced now that we should have time to decide what we want to do in life.
We live in a society that sees mistakes as failures and not signs that we are growing up.
So, my advice to all you people reading this. Go out and make mistakes. Join a sports team. Find a hobby you are passionate about. Watch a lot of anime. Read comics and manga. Read a good book.
It’s okay. We don’t have to rush into things right now. We can take our time. Let us figure who we are and what we want before we decide our lives. It’ll work out in the end for us.
That is all for now. Sorry for the short post. Until next time.
