2nd: A Change?


This week passed like it was nothing. I didn't even realized that I already need to write another blog entry. I promised myself that I'd write every week as a start, but it hasn't even been a month and I'm already getting too lazy.

         Last Monday, I saw myself on the mirror. I took the chance, and then I tried looking at it longer than usual. There wasn't really much to anticipate; all I saw was a twenty-six-year-old unhealthy jobless man, who looked shorter than five foot five; his skin's pale white from staying indoors for too long; his messy brown hair has already reached his neck and below his eyes, and it looked like it didn't care if it wasn't combed; he's got a dark dead eyes, that used to be a lighter shade of brown like his mom's; and of course, he looks so puny, with his arms, legs and belly that has no muscle but soft pig fats. And for chrissake! (Yeah, I know) I'm only turning nineteen in two months yet I looked like a wimpy old man.

         Looking at the disaster on the mirror gave me uh... what do you call this, resolution? Fighting spirit? Audacity, conviction, or confidence? Whatever it was, this isn't my first language, and I can't get the word right. But anyway, I got a bit of that, and then I started exercising to burn at least some of my fats. I'd worry about getting healthy and having some muscles when I got rid of it. I do it like, thirty minutes or more in a day. Every session makes my body hurt like hell; I feel like staying in bed forever. It’s so hard to bend my knees, and every joint of my bones doesn’t feel like carrying anything heavier than toothbrush ever again.

         Everything sucked so badly and kicking the wall wasn’t a good idea to express irritation. I got so pissed off when doing all these things that opposed my will. For some reasons, when I do some work, I get so mad at myself that I wanted to throw whatever I’m doing. It happened so much when doing school works, which was my least priority, and I almost failed high school. But this time, I have to get a hold of myself. I’ll just probably listen to some Vocaloid songs to endure all those pissed off feeling until I get used to it.

        Just when everything was too good to be true, there were books, and it’s the most evil thing I know. I just started reading this certain fantasy novel last Thursday; time passed by, and so did temptation. It won't let me stop reading until I finally forgot to exercise. Alas, how many days? Three, right… but that's not all. I did exactly the same thing the next day. Good thing I'm already done with the book. I just hope that I won't break my routine next week, and forever.

         There it was, I'm probably moving slowly but I think I'm making some good adjustments. I feel like a person in rehab; doing exercises, writing a blog, and eating cereals for some months until I’m completely healed and after that, I’m good to go.

             I just hope that the cursed number three will let me pass and do this blog until I found my way.

1st: Realization


            It has been a month since my little brother and I moved abroad where our parents live. And here I am, slacking. I'd probably just spend my time reading comic books until summer semester, but there are still several months ahead; so last week, I thought about working. I cracked my brain and started imagining all possibilities on every kind of job. A whole day of thinking wasn't enough though. It took me several days... probably a week; until it came to me that it's useless; I realized I’m useless... and I finally gave up.

            I looked back at my past and saw how unfortunate it was that I can’t find the right thing for me to do. Back then, I never cared about other people, and anything else doesn't interest me at all. I'm a socially unhealthy kid with a blur future. There are so many things that I hate, and I avoid them as much as I can. One of it is school, where you practice corruption and hierarchy, and which I cursed ever since I remembered living. There were a lot of people my age in school, and I had a really hard time then. There was a time I started to compare myself to others, and it was just too different, like I can't fit anywhere near them. How do they talk so lively? I can't figure out how and it made me a bit jealous, I wanted to become like them, but as I grow up, I stopped dreaming and realized how I really am.

            Practically majority of troubles came from school; home works, group works, clubs, and events; it made my life so hard like hell. It was a miracle I even graduated high school; I literally avoided attending any classes and managed to live out with maxed number of absences. I ditched school because I hate it, then I slack off and scratch my back the whole day.

            Worrying is another thing that I hate. It puts me off balance, hurts my head, and it brings nothing but stress. That’s why, I always wonder why others worries too much while you can just calm yourself and deal with your problem in a cool way or just forget about it ever happened. I do it all the time... Why can't others think of it? How can they just take all the worries from having a lot of companions? from doing a lot of work? from studying until they get so old?

I never got the answers on anything nor found out if my past was weirder then other kids, but I came to realize something that made me grow as a person that won't get anywhere far: People are made different, and I will always feel best when I’m being real. Trying to be someone else will just hurt me deep inside; and so, all those questions faded, like they were never even there… And that is when I didn’t care about anything, nothing at all.

All those thinking made my head hurt so much as I saw how a crap of a person I had become. All I wanted was to find the right job for me and suddenly, I remembered the words reflection and realization, which I had abandoned a long time ago…
