it's no wonder people get soaked up in the jobs.
an entire day at home really does make one blue.
unless you're hungover.

this week is going to be money churning.
part time work here and there.
it's not like i don't want to find a full time one,
but they just seem so wishy washy.
i feel like i'm folding aeroplanes out of resumes.
yes, it's the waiting game.

so i'm out taking up funny jobs, as well as
continuing the tutor job for two youngsters which provides me a reasonable amount of money for kicking and staying alive.

i've read of quarter-life crisis, a transition whereby people of my age might face.
in terms of wanting to obtain a higher formal qualification, competing for the best careers, living the best lives and building one's future.

if you've passed this stage, your own boss or living a contented life, do not laugh because it sounds absurb or 'just another phase' to you.

i cannot say that i will not fall under the trap of a crisis,
but i always try my very best to maintain balance and neutrality.
when you are too positive, you fall down harder.
being too negative only affects your daily life.

i used to be very much affected by my surroundings.
but as years pass, you realize you have the ability to choose to forget about things, people, happenings.
it's kind of sad and strange considering they consist of tears and laughter.

still,
no matter what others might say,
it's my own life i reign over.
and yes,
you lead your own life.

so long as everyone's happy.

i'm starting to write, a book perhaps, on events that some people around me might be familiar with. i don't exactly want to forget them all, but it's worth something, and to satisfy secret desires of becoming an author or editor.
