Right in Front of my Eyes?
Well just ended my first week of university life and man it's scary. Although it's still really early in the term I can sense an exceptionally heavy and draining work load ahead of me. I really cant afford to mess up my time in university, this is my last chance to make something out of my almost 20 years of education.
A buddy of mine pointed out something very interesting over dinner a couple of days back. When your choices are plentiful you tend to become picky and very very hard to satisfy. You'd want to try everything on the table but yet never content with just one. Well I wonder if this is this true?
Are we naturally programmed to be such ungrateful idiots that although we may have the best right in front of our eyes we can never be really happy and satisfied?
I just hope I am not making this mistake....
I Am Still Alive
It's been awhile since I have written anything here and there are a couple of reasons for that. Firstly I haven't been in the 'blogging' mood for awhile and secondly and more importantly I have received or actually heard many unpleasant comments about my blog. Many have said that I write here just to impress others. Well I write what I feel and what I think about. I am not here to impress anyone, I am here to express my opinions and to provide myself a means of coherently expressing my feelings. If you do not like what I write please don't bother reading.
I am not exactly sure why but lately I have been doing a lot of thinking about relationships. I have come to the conclusion that a relationship is a very risky affair. Getting seriously involved in a relationship means loosing total control over ones life path. You are now not two individuals walking through lives meandering course but rather one couple, one united soul. The lack of control scares me. No longer will my mistakes be of my own doing but rather it could be the work of my better half. So should we rush into relationships because of a mutual attraction?
I guess if you asked me this a few years back I would have said yes off course but I think at 21 I am mature enough to realize that a mutual attraction is not going to lead to a fulfilling and lasting relationship. I have learnt from a close friend that taking ones time to get to know the person is best. Many couples these days simply rush into a relationship cause they are scared that if they don't move in fast enough they will loose the person. One thing I have learnt from my dad is that if something is meant to be its meant to be. There is no need to fear, but rather take the mutual attraction as an opportunity to get to know each other better and decide if there is a real possibility for a holistic and happy relationship.
Relationships are such fragile things, hearts are broken easy so if you don't have mine you can never break it. A motto to live life by? I hope someone will prove me wrong someday :).
