Enlightening Thought #26

As a graduating senior, I've been thinking more and more about my years in school, about the relationships I've built up or torn down, about the people I never got to know, the things I never experienced...

But then I realize that I have seven more days of high school. Thinking about what I have missed out is getting me absolutely nowhere at all. It is, quite simply, too late.

So don't bother with regret. Don't think or dwell on the past. Thinking about your shitty life will only make your life more shitty.

Just live your life and don't look back.

Enlightening Thought #21

You know those times when you think in circles?

Oh! Does he like me? Do I like him? Why do I like him? Is it just because I have a chance with him (we're both desperate) or because I genuinely like him? Do I want to date him? Does he want to date me? Am I any good in relationships? What if I botch everything up? AHH!

Or:

Ugh, I'm bored. Woot, I'll watch a movie! Fuck... I'm too bored to watch a movie. Ooh, my friend just sent me a link; he says it's amusing. Damn it all! I'm too bored to click on that link and then pay attention... What do I do? I'm still freaking bored!

Or:

I'm hungry. Wait, I can't eat; I'm too fat. But... I'm hungry! I want sugar! Well, I'll just eat an apple then, that has sugar. Wait, apples aren't filling... I know! I'll eat cookies and ice cream again (lolwut. Logic fail. Cookies and ice cream aren't filling either). No, I can't eat that; I'll just get fatter. But... I'm hungry still! Fuck it all, I'll eat the goddamned cookie. (nomnomnom) I'm still hungry. Time to eat ice cream! (nomnomnom). Hm, too much junk food, I'll balance that with an apple. (nomnomnom).



You think and think and you worry and worry and you question and question until... 5, 10, or 30 minutes of your life has passed by, and yet, you've accomplished absolutely nothing.

You know what you should do instead?

Either act on your gut instinct or simply stop thinking.

Remember, it truly is possible to think too hard.
Stop. You don't want to hurt yourself.

Enlightening Thought #9

I've sat around, trying to come up with something enlightening to share all day. After a few hours, I am still here, staring at a blank page. 5 minutes away from rolling into bed, with shitloads of homework to do.



Here's my piece of wisdom for today. If you're out of inspiration and tired as hell, just remember this:

Don't think too hard.

You might hurt yourself.
