Tonight, Aug. 3, 11:17 pm (a Friday),
I decided to create another account, on yet another social website. My main purpose of taking time to make these is to keep myself busy. But usually what I anticipate in these sites are people's messages, to write back to them, to let me, my side, be heard. Technically, I record a part of me to let my feelings out, and not really for company. Sometimes, I just love the pensiveness inside of me, but occasionally I don't hear myself out enough, which leads me to blame and hurt others.
I hate sounding stupid, even more when looking like one. And so, I think a lot, assuring my knowledge and judgment. I am the definition of fickle-minded. There are times when I feel I don't try enough and I don't know anything, then it becomes a pain to know too much or to understand than most people. By that time I give up, thinking no one will notice, even if they did, "they would understand because they love me".
Thinking back, rereading my past work and thoughts, I feel the amount of thoughts I lack. Maybe I don't hear them out enough, my mom, my dad, my friends and other loved ones. It's the pride that holds me back -it keeps me stubborn and aloof. "I care, but I don't care enough", that's what I've noticed with my actions. "People can have their own ideas and beliefs, but as long as their hearts belong to me, it'll always be my way". Scary, isn't it?
So far, my writing has no relation to my title at all.
I thought of "rooky all over again", because I'm back to where the ended chapter begun. I've returned to freshman year, new social life, new responsibilities, and new life goals.
You see, I just finished my senior year of High School. Funny, I never thought I'd end up where I am now. Where am I? I'm in Palmdale, unemployed, barely starting out in life, and going to a jr. college. Yes, there's nothing wrong in all of that, but my goodness gracious! Four years ago, I believed in art and nothing else! There was God, yes, but my life revolved around proving my parents wrong, that i can get somewhere far, probably the farthest, by pursuing my dreams in art. I had one goal, and it was to go to Notre Dame University, (major in Art History). I loved writing, at the time. I also couldn't see myself going anywhere else but a University, not even a CalState.
But something happened.
I was doing so well. There were a couple of bumps in the road, but I stuck it all out. I was living it simple, but always trying. What went wrong? Am I supposed to be mad? Upset? Or am I supposed to just accept it?
Yeah, it was all for the best. But why are so many problems coming up? As undecided as I am, you know my head goes back and forth between optimistic and pessimistic.
I just don't want to care anymore!!
WHY can't I just stop, and leave it alone?
And this is where the beginning is. Learn to prioritize
again, to accept the past
again, to move on and cherish what's there
again. Why do I forget how to do these things? Maybe because people recycle. Reagardless to how many different kinds are out there, the same kinds keep coming back.
sigh* damn.
