Take a Breather


I might be really determined to do something one day, but the next I might think, "Fuck this" and give up.

I wish things were simpler. I wish things weren't so cluttered. I need to breathe. I need time to breathe. I need something to lift my spirits. I need inspiration. I need a place where I can sit down without other people's eyes on me, a place where I can take a breather and figure out what I want.

I wish I could go somewhere where no one knows me. A new place where I can start afresh. Meet new people. Experience new things. Go to new places. Have fun. Do whatever I want without other people's expectations placed on them. Do what I want, when I want. No stress. No pressure. Just me and my time.

Don't you hate it when people ask you, "whats wrong?" and there's nothing really wrong with you that day, just that you're feeling like doing something new, you're kind of defined by what people expect of you.

Oh and I can lend you Dorian Gray now; I don't feel particularly inclined to pick it up again, I intend to read The Psychology of Love first ;P

Oh dear, Lu, you're in one of those moods, aren't you? We all have them. There's a widely held belief that you have to decide what you want and then go all out to get it in this life. It never really worked for me. What I found brought me the best experiences was being constantly on the lookout for opportunities, and then taking them when they passed by.

Some would say that's a passive approach. It isn't actually, it's a mixture of both; and it's what worked for me so I ain't knocking it.

For another thought on the matter, you might to look at my latest blog post.

And the verification for this post is 'hyper.' Well, blow me!
