Thoughts
It is a silent night. I spent the entire day doing practically nothing. Well, of course I did something but you know, they’re not even constructive, to say the least. Now, here I am. I just played S&M by Rihanna a couple of times already. I like its upbeat-ness, the video’s entertaining, too. However, that’s not what I will be blogging about this time. Today, it got me really thinking how all of us want to become somebody. I remember when I was a child, I would imagine myself becoming a pilot. I wanted to control, if that’s how you call it, a fighter jet. Obviously, that’s not the track I have decided to proceed with. I’m pretty sure all of us have imagined becoming someone as well. The point I want to share is that, we are often bombarded with choices and decisions. Little are we aware of the truth that these decisions, no matter how seemingly small, provided for great changes in our lives. Sometimes, it unconsciously swerves our path to an unexpected route.
I’m pretty sure I want to become a lawyer. It’s just that, in life, we do not have one goal alone. I also want to consider the other things I want to become. Say, a father, a photographer, a chef. I can be so many things. It’s just a matter of how I see things and how I pursue things.
Today, I learned something. Boredom teaches you patience. I used this line as a status on Facebook wherein a friend commented and said, “No, it teaches you perseverance.” I disagreed and said, “It teaches you both. When you believe you're doing nothing, you're actually training yourself not to be angry to the world for being silent to you.”
I am at the point of my life where I’m turning 20 and I feel like it’s going to be one hell of a ride! Things will surely change and the world will be mine for the taking. As they say, at my age, it’s good to be anywhere. The freedom it gives you entails a more decisive self, because again, you can never turn back time.
I need to wrap it up. I’ll talk to you soon, yeah? Keep safe :D
