Right now I feel like I don't know what to do with my life and it is going to be very slow the next few years. I have to get a job, and grow up. We are forced to think about the future way too much. That is something everyone has to deal with eventually though I suppose. It stresses me out. I see things as being fixable though, I just have to view all of my situations as oppertunities.

Bask in the sun Show your true self Pass all boundaries Take care of the ones you love Don't be afraid to be yourself Be comfortable in your own skin Live life to the fullest and take risks
Sure, maybe they're cliches... but they teach good lessons :)
@Heartspell and CassidyBriann: beautiully put, once again. @Alana: as I've said --and will say again -- statements become cliches because they are so often true, so often applicable, and usually so well put, that they are repeated, often. I like yours, except for the last -- "live life to the fullest" gets on my nerves. I prefer how Ray Bradbury puts it in Fahrenheit 451.
How do I see things right now? I feel more positive about this year than the last few, because I feel I am living and working more honestly now than in the past. There are still things I worry about and would have otherwise if I could -- I'm back to waking up at 4am and thinking about my classes and my students (Including you all: is this class too easy? Too boring? Should I do more to make more people talk, or let them be shy and introverted and distracted as they like? What should I do for a second book project?) -- but when I can make myself step back and look at the larger picture, instead of the small portions (Oo! Literary allusion!), I feel good about things.
Though this broken-down keyboard in the computer lab is annoying me. The F key doesn't work half the time.
sunday today. getting ready for a busy week and already stressing out about things that i haven't done yet. I'm looking forward to thanksgiving break!I just hope my teachers don't assign huge assignments over it!!!
To quote my poem: "Deathly dark mind Of a Whiter pale kind.
Painfully evil peace with a Mournfully joyous piece." (As you can probably can see my poem consists entirely of oxymorons) To see my whole poem, and hopefully those of others, goto Showcase!
I shouldn't complain about how I see things. Although I should because I hate who I live with! lol But it's just a waiting game now. In June I'll be moving out and I will view everything as complete bliss. :D
I think things are good for me, not for everyone. I have been doing much better recently than in the past and I am very proud of myself and the people in my life for me to get here. However, I feel that there are many other people in the world that could use it. How hard would it be to lend a hand once in a while? Say hello to the kid that has a learning disability, let him/her put their arm around you and call you their best friend. Pick up the mess that otherwise would have to be picked up by the woman/man who has bigger problems to worry about. Help your families and friends not only when they need you most but all the time. Lending a hand is important, so why not?

ReplyDeleteCurrently its raining tornadoes, every one of them ripping something away from me, some of the tearing is quite helpful though.

That is where I'm at right now.
The way I see things at the moment...
ReplyDeleteBask in the sun
Show your true self
Pass all boundaries
Take care of the ones you love
Don't be afraid to be yourself
Be comfortable in your own skin
Live life to the fullest and take risks

That ill live my life as a hermit... I feel that things are going very well right now.
ReplyDeleteLife is stressful and the world is busy. Couldn't be more real, ain't it great to be alive??
ReplyDeleteThe world is way too confusing. Thats all.
ReplyDeletesunday today. getting ready for a busy week and already stressing out about things that i haven't done yet. I'm looking forward to thanksgiving break!I just hope my teachers don't assign huge assignments over it!!!
ReplyDeleteI see things as chaotic, and stressful at the moment for my life. For the world I see pain, sadness, and confusion.
ReplyDeleteI think you question is too vague to be answered. I just try to be a good person in general.

I see the world as completlely topsy-turvy, yet, painfully predictable.
ReplyDeleteI feel life is... I don't know. Just life.

ReplyDeletei am a very pessimistic person but i see people mainly as good.
ReplyDeleteThings are bad. People are crazy, and I hate them sometimes. But sometimes I feel the exact opposite. It just depends on my mood.
