And Life Goes On

Posted under: Life
This might actually be an updated post now. I feel bad for not having blogged in the last month. Well, blogged here anyway because if you’ve been stalking (or just had a lot of time on your hands), then you would have noticed that my daily journal (or semi-daily) has been updated more frequently.
What’s the hold up? Well, if most of you know or have caught on, I like to write what I would consider a good post. A post that provokes thinking in a way that takes you outside of your usual bubble. However, as I’m about to briefly explain, I’ve been behind on being able to do that. Now, don’t get me wrong, the ideas have been coming up into my head, but I feel as if the thoughts aren’t honed well enough yet to be shared with the general public.
So yes, I am here explaining my partial absence with the online community. I’m still behind on replying to comments and visiting their respective websites. The semester started a little more than a month ago and although my classes aren’t that time consuming, my social events are. I’ve decided to join a culture club, more specifically, the Vietnamese Student Association. I’m connecting with people of a similar background and having a good time. I’ve also found myself a boyfriend too. Yes, I know, big step for me considering how the last one had painfully ended. But despite all the nasty past, I’m happy. Other things have been rocky, but at the moment, I’m happy. And I’m even happier knowing that I’ve found someone to bring the happy back. It’s just one big happy cycle.
I feel as if this time is such a busy time. I’ve got social events, school, boyfriend, and politics. Oh God, the politics. I’ve decided that I can’t stand to watch either debate. The Presidential debate consisted of two bickering men and the Vice Presidential debate was ridiculous. No candidate gave a straight answer and it was too frustrating to watch.
Anyway, this is midterm weekend and I need to get back to studying. But before I go, I will leave you with this question: Should you be looking for someone that makes you want to be a better person or should you invest more time to find that part in yourself that makes you want to be a better person?

Damn, I was wondering why you hadn’t updated. LOL I didn’t know you had another blog! How come you don’t have EC on that blog - so I can visit you more often (I’d add you to my Favourites list you know?). Anyway, glad to hear you finally have a case of the happy. You so deserve it
Cheers!

As the saying goes, “You can’t love anyone else if you don’t love yourself.” It means, I think, you need to have self-confidence and believe in yourself.

Good luck on midterms luv. I think one of your recent daily journal posts would have been fitting here, because it was very deep-thought-ish. Oh yea, and definitely the “right” answer is you should find that better person in yourself, but usually we are too lazy to do anything for us, but we work harder when we find someone that makes us want to be better. And and and you’ll be 21 on Wednesday! YAY!

haha, yeah the debates are a joke pretty much 100% of the time. Either a candidate says something retarded or they spew bullshit we all know they can’t commit to. Well we’ll see what happens in November. Should be a ride.
Yeah, what is the deal with time? Damn clocks

It’s a shame, but also a godsend in a way, that you have been too busy to write. It’s good you’ve found some happiness. None of your posts have really placed me far from my personal bubble, but that is probably because I’m insane. The reason I like reading you is because of your thinking process within your posts. I feel affinity toward it. Anyway, no pressure on writing again. I understand the need for perfection. You do a pretty good job.
In terms of the election, those debates were pretty bogus. I think what I hate more is the propaganda spewed out afterward on who “won” and why. I really think that in a lot of cases, the opinions of others influences their decision a lot more than the actual candidate and their responses. Disgusting.
Finally, midterms have been stressing me out but the workload is a motivator considering how accomplished I feel after I’ve completed it all. In response to your question, I think it’s good to have a little of both. You can be comfortable with yourself as a person but still be the type that requires a little push forward in that same direction, just to keep you going. Having been completely content pre-boyfriend, I still find it nice to have someone there to reinforce my direction.
If this question is really in relation to whether or not you should look for someone to stop you from some newly attained bad-habits (like the smoking, which I think you’re too classy-looking for) and a lack of self-confidence, it really depends on you. You’re really the person who controls everything, but if psychologically you require the presence of some outside authority to motivate you then that’s what you should look for. Although, I always see that situation falling into some kind of resentment toward the person who you’re changing for if you suddenly change your personal profile of a “better person”. Defining who you want to be first, might be a start. If the definition involves pleasing someone else in any way, then you should try to look for that person you want to please. Are you selfish or selfless? A giver or a taker?
Quick and painless (I like to write a lot). I figured I’d comment for once considering I’ve been an on and off reader. =)

I never know that you are a Vietnamese? (looking at your pic + your name, I thought you’re somewhere from Europe, like France or something :))
Congrats on finding someone to love again! I hope my turn is next, one day
