Scared to enter the real world

I really admire all our parents. They go to work religiously every day and never complain. They work hard and earn a living to provide for their families, which is so noble and admirable. Our parents worked around the age of 18 (just an estimate) and they have never stopped working ever since.

I am about to enter ‘THE WORKING WORLD’ and I’m almost terrified. The only reason I am terrified is because I will have to have a routine-Din din din! (scary sound). Routine freaks me out big time and this is why I say our parents can be admired – because they have had to follow a routine for a number of years and they never give up or complain. I salute them!

Obviously when I enter the working world I will have to have some kind of routine, but I will try my best to make it as non-routine as possible (who am I kidding?) –I’m terrified!!!!!! I may be terrified now, but I know that I will be okay. I always know that no matter what happens I will be okay.

High use of language.

I hate using big complex words. Apart from the fact that I don’t understand most of them, I find it highly unnecessary.  Maybe sometimes you can express yourself better by using a word which is of a high calibre, which is fine. However, sometimes I find people whose vocabulary consist only of a high calibre and I find it most annoying! Conversations with these people are tedious and boring. Some literature that I have to read is of extreme high calibre and I hate that too!  

The reason I hate it is because at the end of the day when you say or read a sentence there is only one point to the sentence. In the end it all means the same thing. So why do things need to be made complicated by using very big and hard-to-understand words? I don’t want to sit with a dictionary every time I read or speak to someone. I find high use of language to be somewhat artificial…maybe I’m crazy, but that’s just the way I feel.

Stress causes illness

The worst thing to do in life is to stress. All of us are guilty of stressing, because we are human and that’s okay as long as it is not taken to the extreme. It’s always a guarantee that at the end of whatever it is you were stressing about, you find out that there was no reason at all to stress.

I hate stressing. I can’t stand it. Life is way too short to stress. Some people stress all the time about things that don’t even matter and they cause a lot of tension and even heartache due to this unnecessary stress. People need to learn not to take things so seriously and to get over themselves! Haha!

Stress makes you ugly. You can see when someone is stressed –short term or long term. It affects your entire being, your aura, skin, the way your face looks…just EVERYTHING!!!!!!! Many terminal illnesses are caused by stress and people don’t realise this. If you are happy you have a higher chance of being healthier and living longer. So stop stressing and be happy!

Why I have conversations?

I love having conversations. Conversations are so important to have in life. What would life be without them? Time spent on having a conversation is like soul food – obviously if you have meaningful conversations.

I base majority of my conversations on ‘why?’ ‘Why’ conversations, for me, are the most interesting ones you could ever have. You learn so much about anything you want to learn. It’s as if you have information at finger tips. You however have to be cautious of what you hear, because the sources may not be very reliable.

I also have conversations where I share my knowledge with others in hope that I can help them. This is not necessarily academic or factual knowledge, but life experiences. I have lots of conversations where I share life experiences with friends or family.

Sometimes I have conversations to flirt too. These are quite fun! I do suck at them though haha! Then I also have conversations where I talk the biggest load of nonsense ever. The point of having these is to have no point, but I see them as important. These conversations help me to just forget about life for a moment and unwind and not take anything seriously. I love having these conversations.

I have conversations because they are fun, because you learn from them and because it’s interesting to hear other peoples’ views of the world. Communication is one of the most important aspects in life….never forget to communicate, especially with those close to you.

100 things to do before I die.

Here it goes:

3.       Get another degree

4.       Have my own company

5.       Become an extreme adventurer as a career

9.       Build random things just for the sake of building

10.   Become a professional soccer player

11.   Become an engineer

12.   Become a geologist

13.   Maybe adopt a child (that’s still up for negotiation)

14.   Influence the world in some way for a good cause

15.   Create a law

That’s all I’ve got for now and this is more than enough to keep me busy for a looonnnnggggg time. It’s all so exciting to be young because there are endless opportunities for you to explore. If you fail it’s okay, at least you have experienced whatever it is you wanted to and you learnt something from that experience. Failure is never a bad thing.

My big fat BIG dream…

I never really dream in my sleep….well I guess you always dream in your sleep, but I hardly ever remember my dreams. It is very rare that I do remember my dreams. I do however have many dreams for myself.

I have set many goals for myself which I would like to achieve for myself, but I am taking it one step at a time in achieving them. I sort of go through the motions of life and set my goals and dreams according to what I want in my life. This has changed many times, because as time passes I see things differently or I learn something new.

My big fat BIG dream? I don’t really know what that is right now at this stage of my life. I’m actually at a very awkward time of my life, where I feel like I’m floating in the middle of nowhere, just going through the motions, just doing the bare minimum. It really sucks, because I usually know what I want. I still do know what I want, I just can’t wait for this phase to pass.

I wish that this phase I am currently experiencing in my life was my big fat BIG dream, because that’s what it feels like. I wish I could wake up and realise that it is not my reality, but it is…
