Time

I hate people that makes excuses for their life.

For me, a life is yours, it is in your control.

Other people can influence it,

Other people can try and change it,

But at the end of the day it is your life.

I was chatting to baby face today, we don't catch up as often as we should, or we like to these days. Over the last x years that we've known eachother, the only thing that has really changed is the fact that the word "assignments" got replaced by "projects" and the word "student allowance" got replaced by salaries.

But at the end of the day, nothing has really changed. Including the phrase

"I'm so envious of you, I want to have your ambition and courage"

The difference between him and I is that I like to see things, and yes, I am VERY fortunate that my parents are very open (unlike his). But I take appreciation in small discoveries of life. A 2 or even 3 day away from your city is still a new discovery for me. Or even taking a different turn on the road lets you see difference in life. I just stopped telling myself "there is not enough time"

Because really, you do.

Compared to him, I might seem like I've "done" more things, but the time spent on facebook each night., the time spent sitting in front of the TV, the time spent going to the malls. It's massive amount of time at the end of the day. Sure, money is a limitation, but not everything requires money, and I still don't feel like I've accomplished my life unless I go out.

Even half a day away, to a township 30 min away can still be an adventure, and that will take you what, 2 hours of the day?

The discoveries can even be in the home. When was the last time I picked up a book to appreciate my time? When was the last time I tried to learn new cooking? when was the last time I didn't touch cell phone or computer for a day?

I know for sure that I have very little concentration these days. I am definitely addicted to computers. Movies, TV streaming, reading blogs. Anything that doesn't worth anything.

Time and mind is the only limitation in life I find.

In few weeks, I'm moving to a new house, and I'm determined to make the most of the change over. Straighten up my life again.

After all, I will be 27 in very short time. And back when I was little, I thought 27 is fully grown adults, mature, know it all and everything. But I still feel like I'm not compatible of looking after myself too often.
